General shape

val top : t
val is_top : t -> bool
val empty_map : t

Empty map. Casual users do not need this except to create a custom initial state.

val is_empty_map : t -> bool
val bottom : t

Every location is associated to the value bottom of type v in this state. This state can be reached only in dead code.

val is_reachable : t -> bool

Join and inclusion

val join : t -> t -> t
val is_included : t -> t -> bool
module Make_Narrow (_ : sig ... end) : sig ... end
type widen_hint = Base.Set.t * (Base.t -> widen_hint_base)

Bases that must be widening in priority, plus widening hints for each base.

val widen : widen_hint -> t -> t -> t
val merge : into:t -> t -> t

merge ~into t adds all binding from t into into.

Finding values

copy_offsetmap alarms loc size m returns the superposition of the ranges of size bits starting at loc within m. size must be strictly greater than zero. Return None if all pointed addresses are invalid in m.

  • raises Error_Top

    when the location or the state are Top, and there is no Top value in the type v.

  • raises Not_found

    if the varid is not present in the map.

val find_base_or_default : Base.t -> t -> offsetmap Lattice_bounds.or_top_bottom

Same as find_base, but return the default values for bases that are not currently present in the map. Prefer the use of this function to find_base, unless you explicitly want to see if the base is bound.

Binding variables

val paste_offsetmap : from:offsetmap -> dst_loc:Locations.Location_Bits.t -> size:Integer.t -> exact:bool -> t -> t

paste_offsetmap ~from ~dst_loc ~size ~exact m copies from, which is supposed to be exactly size bits, and pastes them at dst_loc in m. The copy is exact if and only if dst_loc is exact, and exact is true. Only the locations that may be valid are written.

val add_base : Base.t -> offsetmap -> t -> t

add_base b o m adds base b bound to o, replacing any previous bindings of b. No effect on Top or Bottom.

val add_base_value : Base.t -> size:Integer.t -> v -> size_v:Integer.t -> t -> t

Creates the offsetmap described by size, v and size_v, and binds it to the base. No effect on Top or Bottom.

Filters

val filter_base : (Base.t -> bool) -> t -> t

Remove from the map all the bases that do not satisfy the predicate.

val filter_by_shape : 'a Hptmap.Shape(Base.Base).t -> t -> t

Remove from the map all the bases that are not also present in the given Base.t-indexed tree.

val remove_base : Base.t -> t -> t

Removes the base if it is present. Does nothing otherwise.

val replace_base : Base.substitution -> t -> t

replace_bases substitition map replaces some bases in map according to substitution. If substitution conflates different bases, the offsetmaps bound to these bases are joined.

Iterators

Notice that some iterators require an argument of type map: the cases Top and Bottom must be handled separately. All the iterators below only present bases that are bound to non-default values, according to the function is_default_offsetmap of the function Lmap.Make_Loffset.

val iter : (Base.base -> offsetmap -> unit) -> map -> unit
val fold : (Base.t -> offsetmap -> 'a -> 'a) -> map -> 'a -> 'a

Cached iterators

These functions are meant to be partially applied to all their arguments but the final one (the map). They must be called at the toplevel of OCaml modules, as they create persistent caches.

val cached_fold : f:(Base.t -> offsetmap -> 'a) -> cache_name:string -> temporary:bool -> joiner:('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> empty:'a -> map -> 'a
val cached_map : f:(Base.t -> offsetmap -> offsetmap) -> cache:(string * int) -> temporary:bool -> t -> t

Misc

Shape of the map. This can be used for simultaneous iterations on other maps indexed by type Base.Base.t.

val clear_caches : unit -> unit

Clear the caches local to this module. Beware that they are not project-aware, and that you must call them at every project switch.

include Lattice_type.With_Narrow with type t := t
val narrow : t -> t -> t

over-approximation of intersection

Finding values *

val find_indeterminate : ?conflate_bottom:bool -> t -> Locations.location -> V_Or_Uninitialized.t

find_indeterminate ~conflate_bottom state loc returns the value and flags associated to loc in state. The flags are the union of the flags at all the locations and offsets corresponding to loc. The value is the join of all the values pointed by l..l+loc.size-1 for all l among the locations in loc. For an individual l, the value pointed to is determined as such:

  • if no part of l..l+loc.size-1 is V.bottom, the value is the most precise value of V approximating the sequence of bits present at l..l+loc.size-1
  • if l..l+loc.size-1 points to V.bottom everywhere, the value is bottom.
  • if conflate_bottom is true and at least one bit pointed to by l..l+loc.size-1 is V.bottom, the value is V.bottom
  • if conflate_bottom is false and at least one bit pointed to by l..l+loc.size-1 is not V.bottom, the value is an approximation of the join of all the bits at l..l+loc.size-1.

As a rule of thumb, you must set conflate_bottom=true when the operation you abstract really accesses loc.size bits, and when undeterminate values are an error. This is typically the case when reading a scalar value. Conversely, if you are reading many bits at once (for example, to approximate the entire contents of a struct), set conflate_bottom to false -- to account for the possibility of padding bits. The default value is true.

val find : ?conflate_bottom:bool -> t -> Locations.location -> V.t

find ?conflate_bottom state loc returns the same value as find_indeterminate, but removes the indeterminate flags from the result.

Writing values into the state

val add_binding : exact:bool -> t -> Locations.location -> V.t -> t

add_binding state loc v simulates the effect of writing v at location loc in state. If loc is not writable, bottom is returned. For this function, v is an initialized value; the function add_indeterminate_binding allows to write a possibly indeterminate value to state.

val add_indeterminate_binding : exact:bool -> t -> Locations.location -> V_Or_Uninitialized.t -> t

Reducing the state

The functions below can be used to refine the value bound to a given location. In both cases, the location must be exact.

val reduce_previous_binding : t -> Locations.location -> V.t -> t

reduce_previous_binding state loc v reduces the value associated to loc in state; use with caution, as the inclusion between the new and the old value is not checked.

val reduce_indeterminate_binding : t -> Locations.location -> V_Or_Uninitialized.t -> t

Same behavior as reduce_previous_binding, but takes a value with 'undefined' and 'escaping addresses' flags.

Misc

val uninitialize_blocks_locals : Cil_types.block list -> t -> t
val remove_variables : Cil_types.varinfo list -> t -> t

For variables that are coming from the AST, this is equivalent to uninitializing them.

val cardinal_estimate : t -> CardinalEstimate.t
