Old versions of sawja/javalib got the line numbers slightly wrong. The workaround was to do a regexp search in the source file for the right line.
My understanding is that this is no longer necessary. This diff removes it.

Summary: Guava uses assertions to ensure a future can be gotten without blocking (this means that if the future is not done, the app will crash). This diff teaches the starvation analyser about a number of such assertions, by treating them as assumes (since we don't care about exceptions).

Summary:
`Object.wait()` must be called on a locked monitor and it releases the
lock immediately, as far as other threads are concerned
(it also magically re-takes the lock when the monitor is `notified`).
Starvation can only occur if the UI thread is waiting
a lock that is distinct to that being waited on.
The check present was over-approximate in that it was checking that there exists a lock held by the UI thread and the thread issuing the `wait`, but did not make sure that lock was *not* the one waited on.
Amusingly, the e2e test was correct, but the reporting code wasn't.

Summary:
In some apps executors are obtained by calling standard framework methods (and not by using DI with annotations).
To treat this style, we need to
- Detect calls that return such executors (`do_executor_effect`) and tag the return result with an `Attribute` indicating that it is now an executor, plus what thread it uses.
- Use that information when calling `execute`, to resolve the executor, if any, and its thread (in `do_work_scheduling` via `AttributeDomain.get_executor_constraint`).
- All this requires a new domain component, mapping variables to attributes. This extends the component previously used for remembering whether a variable is the result of a check on whether we run on the UI thread.
At the same time, I un-nested some functions from the transfer function for readability.

Summary:
Add precision to analysis by elaborating the thread-status domain. This is done by having unknown (bottom), UI, BG or Any (both/top) elements in the lattice. This way, when we branch on thread-identity (if I am on UI thread do this, otherwise do that), we know that in one branch we are on UI thread and on the other we are *not* on the UI thread (BG thread), where previously the other branch would just go to top.
With this knowledge we can throw away pairs that come from callees which run on a thread that is impossible, given the current caller thread identity. This can happen when annotations are used incorrectly, and since this is the purview of annot-reachability, we just drop those pairs entirely.

Summary: It is now possible to push the thread status into each critical pair. This leads to higher precision, because when code branches on whether it is on the UI thread, the final abstract state of the procedure will be `AnyThread`, but pairs created in the UI thread branch should know that their status is `UIThread`, not `AnyThread`.

Summary:
Domain for thread-type. The main goals are
- Track code paths that are explicitly on UI thread (via annotations, or assertions).
- Maintain UI-thread-ness through the call stack (if a callee is on UI thread then the
trace any call site must be on the UI thread too).
- If we are not on the UI thread we assume we are on a background thread.
- Traces with "UI-thread" status cannot interleave but all other combinations can.
- We do not track other annotations (eg WorkerThread or AnyThread) as they can be
erroneously applied -- other checkers should catch those errors (annotation reachability).
- Top is AnyThread, and is used as the initial state for analysis.
Interestingly, by choosing the right strategy for choosing initial state and applying callee summaries gets rid of some false negatives in the tests even though we have not introduced any path sensitivity yet.

Summary:
Eventually thread status will be stored inside every critical pair so as to allow path sensitivity. That means that the status can no longer be a whole trace, as this will quickly become intractable, because each domain element would have to maintain its own trace as well as its own thread-status trace.
This is not great, as we lose information here, but I don't see any other way around it that is not super complicated/costly (sharing will be limited when moving from callee to caller).
Other diffs up the stack will clean up infrastructure no longer used meaningfully (ie models and domains).

Summary:
Starvation is currently path insensitive. Two special cases of sensitivity cover a large range of useful cases:
- sensitivity on whether the current thread is a UI/background thread;
- sensitivity on whether a lock can be acquired (without blocking) or not.
We add a few tests capturing some of the false positives and negatives of the current analysis.

Summary:
The old domain keeps two sets:
- `events` are things (including lock acquisitions) which eventually happen during the execution of a procedure.
- `order` are pairs of `(lock, event)` such that there is a trace through the procedure which at some point acquires `lock` and before releasing it performs `event`.
A deadlock would be reported if for two procedures, `(lock1,lock2)` is in `order` of procedure 1 and `(lock2,lock1)` is in `order` of procedure 2. This condition/domain allowed for the false positive fixed in the tests, as well as was unwieldy, because it required translating between the two sets.
The new domain has only one set of "critical pairs" `(locks, event)` such that there is a trace where `event` occurs, and *right before it occurs* the locks held are exactly `locks` (no over/under approximation). This allows keeping all information in one set, simplifies the procedure call handling and eliminates the known false positive.

Ideally the analyser should equate locks `this.x.f` and `a.x.f` in different methods if they can alias.
The heuristic removed here was rarely used and is in the way of a re-write of the analysis.
It was also badly implemented, as this should ideally be the comparison relation of `Lock`.

Goal of the stack: deprecate the `--analyzer` option in favour of turning
individual features on and off. This option is a mess: some of the options are
now subcommands (compile, capture), others are aliases (infer and checkers),
and they can all be replicated using some straightforward combination of other
options.
This diff: stop using `--analyzer` in tests. It's mostly `checkers` everywhere,
which is already the default. `linters` becomes `--no-capture --linters-only`.
`infer` is supposed to be `checkers` already. `crashcontext` is
`--crashcontext-only`.

Summary:
We need to report on non-private methods (the opposite even leads to FPs sometimes on deadlocks). To do this, the domain needs to change so that the interpretation of an order pair `a,b` is no longer "lock `a` is taken in the *current method* and held until lock `b` is taken". Instead the meaning is now "lock `a` is taken in some method *of the same class with the current method* and is held until `b` is taken".
These changes are quite drastic because the previous implementation optimised extensively around the previous use case.
