The interface of a implemented call graph algorithms

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
CallGraph	addClass(CallGraph oldCallGraph, JavaClassType classType) Adds a class to the call graph.
CallGraph	initialize() This method initializes and starts the call graph algorithm without given entry points.
CallGraph	initialize(List<MethodSignature> entryPoints) This method initializes and starts the call graph algorithm with given entry points.

Method Detail

initialize

@Nonnull
CallGraph initialize()

This method initializes and starts the call graph algorithm without given entry points. Before the algorithm is started, all main methods are searched and set as entry points.

Returns:

a generated call graph with every main class as starting point.

initialize

@Nonnull
CallGraph initialize(@Nonnull
                              List<MethodSignature> entryPoints)

This method initializes and starts the call graph algorithm with given entry points. The entry points define the start methods in the call graph algorithm.

Parameters:

entryPoints - a list of entry points for the call graph algorithm. The algorithm starts at these methods and inspects all reachable methods.

Returns:

a generated call graph with every entry point as starting point.

addClass

@Nonnull
CallGraph addClass(@Nonnull
                            CallGraph oldCallGraph,
                            @Nonnull
                            JavaClassType classType)

Adds a class to the call graph. All methods will be set as entry points in the call graph algorithm. Starts the call graph algorithm. The found edges will be added to the call graph.

Parameters:

oldCallGraph - the call graph which will be modified.

classType - the type of the calls.

Returns:

the modified call graph containing all methods of the given class
