 * This annotation assists the 'Data flow to this' feature by describing data flow
 * from the method parameter to the corresponding container (e.g. ArrayList.add(item))

 * or between method parameters (e.g. System.arraycopy(array1, 0, array2, length))

   * Denotes the source of the data flow.
* Allowed values are:
* *
    *
  • THIS_SOURCE - Means that the data flows from this container.
    * E.g. annotation for java.util.List method get(index) means the method reads contents of list and returns it.
    * {@code @Flow(source = THIS_SOURCE) T get(int index);}
    *
  • *
  • * this.Field name - means that the data flows from this container some (synthetic) field.
    * E.g. annotation for java.util.Map.keySet() method here means that it returns data from the map from the field named "keys".
    * {@code @Flow(source = "this.keys") Set keySet();} *

* By default, the source() value is:
*
    *
  • * {@link #THIS_SOURCE} if the method was annotated, e.g.
    * {@code @Flow(sourceIsContainer=true, targetIsContainer=true) Object[] Collection.toArray()}
    * Here the annotation tells us that java.util.Collection.toArray() method
    * reads the contents of this collection (source=THIS_SOURCE by default) and passes it outside. *
  • *
  • * Corresponding argument if the method parameter was annotated, e.g.
    * {@code void List.add(@Flow(targetIsContainer=true) E item)}
    * Here the annotation tells us that java.util.List.add(E item) method
    * takes the argument (source="item" by default) and passes it to this collection. *

    * {@code boolean add(@Flow(target=THIS_TARGET, targetIsContainer=true) E element);}

  • *
  • * Parameter name - means the data flows to this parameter.
    * E.g.
    * {@code void arraycopy(@Flow(sourceIsContainer=true, target="dest", targetIsContainer=true) Object src, int srcPos, Object dest, int destPos, int length)}
    * means that java.lang.System.arraycopy() method takes its first argument and passes it to the "dest" parameter. *
  • *
  • * this.Field name - means that the data flows to this container in some (synthetic) field.
    * E.g. annotation for java.util.Map.put(key, value) method here means that it takes the argument 'key' and stores the data in some (hidden) field named "keys".

* By default, the target() value is:

    *
  • * {@link #THIS_TARGET} if the parameter was annotated, e.g.
    * {@code void List.set(int index, @Flow(targetIsContainer=true) E element)}
    * Here the annotation tells us that java.util.List.set(index, element) method
    * reads its second argument 'element' and passes it to this collection (target=THIS_TARGET by default). *
  • *
  • * {@link #RETURN_METHOD_TARGET} if the method was annotated, e.g.:
    * {@code @Flow(sourceIsContainer=true) E List.remove(int index)}
    * Here the annotation tells us that java.util.List.remove(int index) method
