You can start -by copying the code for one of these and modify it (eg -checkers/SimpleChecker.ml). For example: - -```ocaml -module TransferFunctions = struct - ... - let exec_instr astate proc_data cfg_node (instr : Sil.instr) = - match instr with - | pattern -> - ST.report_error - proc_name - proc_desc - "CHECKERS_MY_SIMPLE_CHECKER" - location - "A description of my simple checker" - | _ -> astate -end - -module Analyzer = AbstractInterpreter.Make (TransferFunctions) - -let checker {Callbacks.exe_env; summary; get_procs_in_file} : Summary.t = - let proc_name = Summary.get_proc_name summary in - let tenv = Exe_env.get_tenv exe_env proc_name in - let proc_data = ProcData.make_default summary tenv in - ignore (Analyzer.compute_post proc_data ~initial) ; - summary -``` - -Checkers implement a function that detects a given pattern for our specific -checker and then calls `AbstractInterpreter.Make` to iterate over all the nodes -of the CFG. - -So now we need to know how to create our pattern. As an example, consider the -following: - -```ocaml -Sil.Call (_, Sil.Const (Sil.Cfun pn), _, loc, _) -``` - -This pattern matches every function call. In our code, it would look like: - -```ocaml - let exec_instr astate proc_data cfg_node (instr : Sil.instr) = - match instr with - | Call (_, Const (Cfun pn), _, loc, _) -> - ST.report_error - proc_name - proc_desc - "CHECKERS_MY_SIMPLE_CHECKER" - location - "A description of my simple checker" - | _ -> astate -``` - -The `absint/PatternMatch.ml` module contains the -`java_proc_name_with_class_method` function which we can use for matching the -required pattern. - -Each node is represented using the type `instr` from the Smallfoot Intermediate -Language (SIL). Take a look at `IR/Sil.mli` to get familiar with all the types. -All source code languages supported by Infer are converted to this -representation. - -In this particular example, `Sil.Call` has the following information: - -```ocaml -Sil.Call ( - list_of_return_values, - Sil.Const (Const.Cfun name_of_function), - list_of_arguments, - location, - call_flags -) -``` - -I hope this looks straight forward. Argument `call_flags` holds information -about the function, such as whether it is virtual or not. Again, this is -specified in the file `Sil.mli`. - -The Checker we have written so far is able to detect every single function call. -Now, we have to detect whether a specific function call is actually calling -`java.io.PrintStream.println`. - -Let's try this: - -```ocaml - let is_println pln = match pln with - | Procname.Java pn_java -> - PatternMatch.java_proc_name_with_class_method - pn_java "java.io.PrintStream" "println" - | _ -> - false in - - let exec_instr astate proc_data cfg_node (instr : Sil.instr) = - match instr with - | Call (_, Const (Cfun pn), _, loc, _) when is_println pn -> - ST.report_error - proc_name - proc_desc - "CHECKERS_MY_SIMPLE_CHECKER" - location - "A description of my simple checker" - | _ -> astate - -``` - -Can you spot the difference? A new restriction was added to our pattern -- -`is_println` expression helps us to check whether the current method is a -`java.io.PrintStream.println` method or not. - -So our implementation is done. Now we have to register it as an enabled Checker -in `checkers/registerCheckers.ml`. - -Assuming the code is in SimpleCheckers.ml, you would register your checker as a -_java_checker_ in `checkers/registerCheckers.ml` by adding it to the -`all_checkers` list: - -```ocaml -let all_checkers = - [ { name= "my simple checker" - ; active= true - ; callbacks= [(Procedure SimpleChecker.checker, Language.Java)] } - ; (* the rest of the list as it was there *) - ... ] -``` - -Build Infer with `./build-infer.sh` and your first Checker is ready! - -If you want you can try with this java example: - -```java -/*Hello.java*/ -class Hello { - int println(){ - return 0; - } - int test() { - String s = "Hello World"; - System.out.println(s); - s = null; - println(); - return s.length(); - } -} -``` - -Notice that only `System.out.println` is being detected. - -All set!
