Class ConstVariableModelAnalysis

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.actor.util.ConstVariableModelAnalysis

public class ConstVariableModelAnalysis
extends java.lang.Object

An analysis that traverses a model to determine all the constant variables in a hierarchical model. Basically, a constant variable in a particular model is any variable in the model that is defined by a expression of constants, or any variable that is defined by an expression of constants and identifiers that reference other constant variables.

This class computes the set of constant variables by computing the set of variables that are not constant and then performing the complement. This is somewhat easier to compute. The computation is performed in two passes, the first of which extracts the set of variables which must be not-constant either by not being evaluatable, by inclusion in an initial set, by virtue of being a PortParameter with an external connection, or by assignment from within a modal model. The second pass collects all the variables which are not constant because they depend on other variables which are not constant. This class also recognizes dependence declarations represented by the DependencyDeclaration class.

This class also determines the "least change context" of each dynamic variable. The least change context of a variable is typically an actor that contains that variable. During a firing of the least change context, the variable's value is guaranteed to not change. This analysis is important for supporting parameter changes in the context of domains that perform scheduling based on parameter values, like SDF and PSDF. The least change context of a PortParameter with an external connection must be a container of the PortParameter. The least change context of a variable assigned by a finite state machine in a modal model must be a container of the finite state machine. The change context of asserted not constant variables and variables with no expression are assumed to be the toplevel of the model. Note that in some cases (typically when a variable is modified from multiple sources which are not hierarchically related), no least change context may exist.

Constructor Detail

ConstVariableModelAnalysis

public ConstVariableModelAnalysis()

Create a dummy analysis for actors that are not contained in a model.

ConstVariableModelAnalysis

public ConstVariableModelAnalysis(Entity model)
                           throws IllegalActionException

Analyze the given model to determine which variables must be constants and which variables may change dynamically during execution. In addition, store the intermediate results for contained actors so they can be retrieved by the getConstVariables() method.

Parameters:

model - The model to be analyzed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If an exception occurs during analysis.

ConstVariableModelAnalysis

public ConstVariableModelAnalysis(Entity model,
                                  java.util.Set variableSet)
                           throws IllegalActionException

Analyze the given model to determine which variables must be constants and which variables may change dynamically during execution, given that all variables in the given set may change dynamically. In addition, store the intermediate results for contained actors so they can be retrieved by the getConstVariables() method.

Parameters:

model - The model to be analyzed.

variableSet - The set to be analyzed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If an exception occurs during analysis.

Method Detail

addDependencyDeclaration

public void addDependencyDeclaration(DependencyDeclaration declaration)

Add the information in the given dependency declaration to the dependence graph of this analysis. This method can be called by users of this class to update the analysis without recomputing all of the information from scratch.

Parameters:

declaration - The given dependency declaration.

getAnalysis

public static ConstVariableModelAnalysis getAnalysis(NamedObj object)
                                              throws IllegalActionException

Return the analysis that is active for the given object.

Parameters:

object - The given object.

Returns:

The active analysis for the given object.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If an exception occurs during analysis.

getChangeContext

public Entity getChangeContext(Variable variable)

Return the change context of the given variable. This an actor containing the variable, such that the variable is guaranteed not to change values during a firing of the actor. If the variable is constant, or no change context exists, then return null.

Parameters:

variable - The given variable.

Returns:

The change context of the given variable.

getConstantValue

public Token getConstantValue(Variable variable)
                       throws IllegalActionException

Return the constant value of the given parameter, if the parameter is actually constant.

Parameters:

variable - The given variable.

Returns:

The constant value of the given variable.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the given parameter is not a constant parameter, as determined by this analysis.

getConstVariables

public java.util.Set getConstVariables(NamedObj container)

Return the computed constant variables for the given container.

Parameters:

Returns:

The parameter dependency graph.

getNotConstVariables
