Specified In Edges | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
In Edge | Predecessor | Multiplicity | Description | |
InvokedSignature | DynamicDispatchCallSite | ✱ | Connects a DynamicDispatchCallSite to the definition of the invoked Method of the InvokedType; if the Method is not defined or overridden in the InvokedType, it points to the inherited Method.
| |
Inherited From | In Edge | Predecessor | Multiplicity | Description |
Function | Call | Function | ✱ | Indicates the possibility of one or more calls to the Function pointed to within the Function that the edge comes from.
|
InvokedFunction | StaticCallSite | ✱ | Connects a StaticCallSite to the exact Function called. | |
ReadsFunctionAddress | Function | 1 | Connects a Function to a Function that it takes the address of. |
Specified Out Edges | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Out Edge | Successor | Multiplicity | Description | |
Java:AnnotatedWith | Java:Annotation | ✱ | Connects a Java element to an annotation on that Java element.
| |
Inherited From | Out Edge | Successor | Multiplicity | Description |
Function | Call | Function | ✱ | Indicates the possibility of one or more calls to the Function pointed to within the Function that the edge comes from.
|
HasControlFlow | ControlFlow (Node) | ✱ | Connects a Function to any ControlFlow (Node)s it contains. | |
HasParameter | Parameter | ✱ | Connects a Function to a Parameter of that Function. | |
HasReturnValue | ReturnValue | 0..1 | Connects a (non-void) Function to its MasterReturn node. | |
ReadsFunctionAddress | Function | ✱ | Connects a Function to a Function that it takes the address of. | |
ReadsVariable | InstanceVariable | ✱ | Connects a Function to a InstanceVariable or ProgramVariable that it reads.
| |
ProgramVariable | ✱ | |||
Returns | Type | 1 | Connects a Function to the Type of its return value (which may be Void). |

Inherited From | In Edge | Predecessor | Multiplicity | Description |
Node | Contains | Node | 1 | Indicates that the predecessor contains the successor in a sense specified by the specific type of Contains edge. |
Known Possible Out Edges | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Out Edge | Successor | Multiplicity | Description | |
Java:ThrowsClause | Java:Class | ✱ | Indicates a Java Method specifies that it may throw an exception of the indicated type (which must extend java.lang.Throwable).

Node | Contains | Node | ✱ | Indicates that the predecessor contains the successor in a sense specified by the specific type of Contains edge. |
Tag | abstractMethod |
---|---|
Description | Present if the method is unimplemented, in which case it must be contained in an Interface or abstractClass. |
Tag | java.finalMethod |
---|---|
Description | Present if the method may not be overriden by subtypes of the class in which the method is found |
Tag | java.lambdaMethod |
---|---|
Description | Indicates that a method corresponds to a lambda or method reference expression. |
Tag | java.defaultMethod |
---|---|
Description | Indicates that a method defines a default implementation for an interface. |
Tag | java.synchronizedMethod |
---|---|
Description | Indicates that a method is synchronized by locking on the instance it was called on (for an InstanceMethod), or, in the case of a ClassMethod, that it locks on the associated Class object. |
Tag | java.nativeMethod |
---|---|
Description | Indicates that a method's implementation is provided in another language, typically C or C++, via the Java Native Interface (JNI). |
