For this path, the engine generates +the hard constraint `addr(field) == null`. + +If the field is marked as `@NotNull`, a hard constraint `addr(field) != null` is generated +for it. If both constraints have been generated simultaneously, the `NPE` branch is discarded +as the constraint set is unsatisfiable. + +If a field does not have `@NotNull` annotation, the `NPE` branch will be kept. This behavior +is desirable, as it increases the coverage, but it has a downside. It is possible that +most of generated branches would be `NPE` branches, while useful paths could be lost due to timeout. + +Beyond that, in many cases the `null` value of a field can't be generated using the public API +of the class. This is particularly true for final fields, especially in system classes. +Automatically generated tests assign `null` values to fields in questions using reflection, +but these tests may be uninformative as the corresponding `NPE` branches would never occur +in the real code that limits itself to the public API. + +## The solution + +To discard irrelevant `NPE` branches, we can speculatively mark fields we as non-nullable even they +do not have an explicit `@NotNull` annotation. In particular, we can use this approach to final +fields of system classes, as they are usually correctly initialized and are not equal `null`. + +At the same time, we can't always add the "not null" hard constraint for the field: it would break +some special cases like `Optional` class, which uses the `null` value of its final field +as a marker of an empty value. + +The engine checks for NPE and creates an NPE branch every time the address is used +as a base of a dot call (i.e., a method call or a field access); +see `UtBotSymbolicEngine.nullPointerExceptionCheck`). The problem is what at that moment, we would have +no way to check whether the address corresponds to a final field, as the corresponding node +of the global graph would refer to a local variable. The only place where we have the complete +information about the field is this method. + +We use the following approach. If the field is final and belongs to a system class, +we mark it as a speculatively non-nullable in the memory +(see `org.utbot.engine.Memory.speculativelyNotNullAddresses`). During the NPE check +we will add the `!isSpeculativelyNotNull(addr(field))` constraint +to the `NPE` branch together with the usual `addr(field) == null` constraint. + +For final fields, these two conditions can't be satisfied at the same time, as we speculatively +mark final fields as non-nullable. As a result, the NPE branch would be discarded. If a field +is not final, the condition is satisfiable, so the NPE branch would stay alive. + +We limit this approach to the system classes only, because it is hard to speculatively assume +something about non-nullability of final fields in the user code. + +The same approach can be extended for other cases where we want to speculatively consider some +fields as non-nullable to prevent `NPE` branch generation. diff --git a/utbot-framework/src/main/kotlin/org/utbot/engine/Extensions.kt b/utbot-framework/src/main/kotlin/org/utbot/engine/Extensions.kt index eea305d56b..d94d51b1b6 100644 --- a/utbot-framework/src/main/kotlin/org/utbot/engine/Extensions.kt +++ b/utbot-framework/src/main/kotlin/org/utbot/engine/Extensions.kt @@ -18,7 +18,6 @@ import org.utbot.engine.pc.UtSeqSort import org.utbot.engine.pc.UtShortSort import org.utbot.engine.pc.UtSolverStatusKind import org.utbot.engine.pc.UtSolverStatusSAT -import org.utbot.engine.symbolic.Assumption import org.utbot.engine.pc.UtSort import org.utbot.engine.pc.mkArrayWithConst import org.utbot.engine.pc.mkBool @@ -31,7 +30,6 @@ import org.utbot.engine.pc.mkLong import org.utbot.engine.pc.mkShort import org.utbot.engine.pc.mkString import org.utbot.engine.pc.toSort -import org.utbot.framework.UtSettings.checkNpeForFinalFields import org.utbot.framework.UtSettings.checkNpeInNestedMethods import org.utbot.framework.UtSettings.checkNpeInNestedNotPrivateMethods import org.utbot.framework.plugin.api.FieldId @@ -384,11 +382,7 @@ fun arrayTypeUpdate(addr: UtAddrExpression, type: ArrayType) = fun SootField.shouldBeNotNull(): Boolean { require(type is RefLikeType) -
