// TODO: In a fix for https://tinyurl.com/cfissue/1917, add the text:  Every prefix expression is
// also non-null; for example, {@code @EnsuresNonNull(expression="a.b.c")} implies that both {@code
// a.b} and {@code a.b.c} are non-null.
/**
 * Indicates that the value expressions are non-null just after a method call, if the method
 * terminates successfully.
 *
 * 

This postcondition annotation is useful for methods that initialize a field: * *


 *  {@literal @}EnsuresNonNull("theMap")
 *  void initialize() {
 *    theMap = new HashMap<>();
 *  }
 * 
* * It can also be used for a method that fails if a given expression is null, indicating that the * argument is null if the method returns normally: * *

 *  /** Throws an exception if the argument is null. */
 *  {@literal @}EnsuresNonNull("#1")
 *  void assertNonNull(Object arg) { ... }
 * 
* * @see EnsuresNonNullIf * @see NonNull * @see org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.NullnessChecker * @checker_framework.manual #nullness-checker Nullness Checker */ @Documented @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR}) @PostconditionAnnotation(qualifier = NonNull.class) @InheritedAnnotation @Repeatable(EnsuresNonNull.List.class) public @interface EnsuresNonNull { /** * Returns Java expressions that are {@link NonNull} after successful method termination. * * @return Java expressions that are {@link NonNull} after successful method termination * @checker_framework.manual #java-expressions-as-arguments Syntax of Java expressions */ String[] value(); /** * A wrapper annotation that makes the {@link EnsuresNonNull} annotation repeatable. * *

Programmers generally do not need to write this. It is created by Java when a programmer * writes more than one {@link EnsuresNonNull} annotation at the same location. */ @Documented @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR}) @PostconditionAnnotation(qualifier = NonNull.class) @InheritedAnnotation public static @interface List { /** * Returns the repeatable annotations. * * @return the repeatable annotations */ EnsuresNonNull[] value(); } }
