CreateSpinfoC reports usage, I/O, and parse errors as UserErrors (non-zero exit status) instead of printing a message and exiting with status 0. It accepts -h/--help, and always deletes its temporary file.

New method DaikonGetopt.nonOptionArgs processes CreateSpinfoC's arguments. #885 adds the same method.

Add DaikonGetopt, a Getopt subclass that throws a UserError describing an
unrecognized, ambiguous, or malformed option and handles -h and --help.
Use it in Daikon and in the other tools that use Getopt.

Remove Diff's -u and -z options, which had no effect.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DaikonGetopt adds handling for non-option arguments and permitted help options. CreateSpinfoC processes multiple input files and reports read, parse, and write failures through Daikon errors. PrintInvariants registers --disc_reason as an option that requires an argument. CParser resets parse state when reinitialized. ConditionPrinter implements AutoCloseable, and Printer.close() reports detected write errors.


Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk | 🔵 Low · up to b7da2

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b7da2

This change makes CreateSpinfoC report errors with a non-zero exit status and process several input files. The remaining concern is that reinitializing the parser may drop built-in type names, which could affect parsing of later inputs. The risk is small and should be confirmed before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b7da2

The reviewed changes improve error reporting and partial-output cleanup without demonstrating a new privilege or trust-boundary violation. Remaining uncertainty concerns concurrent programmatic use and ownership of colliding output files.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The reviewed flow operates on caller-selected input paths and derived output paths under the invoking process's filesystem permissions. Batch execution increases the number of paths processed per invocation, but the inspected path contains no added identity, authorization, network, or privilege transition.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Filename validation checks extension placement, not directory confinement. Parsing errors occur before opening output, and failed output closure now produces an error instead of a success message. These controls do not constitute a filesystem sandbox.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — ReInit supports sequential recovery, not concurrent isolation. The new programmatic helper remains dependent on unsynchronized process-wide parser state; overlapping calls could interfere with parsing. No concrete concurrent consumer was established, so an exposed cross-caller security failure is not verified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — For programmatic adoption, define a serialized-use contract and output-collision policy. If consumers require preservation of existing outputs during failure or interruption, use uniquely owned staging files and atomic publication rather than deleting a shared destination pathname.

Review comments at @java/daikon/PrintInvariants.java:
- Line 345: Add Daikon.disc_reason_SWITCH to the longopts array in mainHelper
with a required argument so DaikonGetopt recognizes --disc_reason and the
existing option-handling branch can run.

Review comments at @java/daikon/tools/jtb/CreateSpinfoC.java:
- Around line 104-105: Update the temporary-file handling in CreateSpinfoC so
cleanup deletes only a temporary file created by this invocation. Create a
uniquely named temporary file and track its path, then delete that path in the
finally block only when creation succeeded; do not delete the fixed fileName +
".temp" path.
- Around line 85-86: Update the temporary-file IOException handler in
CreateSpinfoC to report the read failure as Daikon.UserError instead of
UncheckedIOException, consistent with the copy and output-write branches.

…rt all errors cleanly

* Read the input into memory instead of copying it to a temp file, so an
  input file named *.temp is never overwritten or deleted.
* Include the cause when the input cannot be read.
* Process every file on the command line, as the manual shows.
* Reinitialize the static parser on reuse, so mainHelper can be called
  more than once.
* Report lexical errors (TokenMgrError) as UserError, naming the file.
* Detect write failures when closing the .spinfo file, and close it via
  try-with-resources.
* PrintInvariants: recognize the --disc_reason option.
…rs, never leave a partial .spinfo

* CParser.ReInit now forgets typedef names from the previous parse, so a
  typedef in one input file does not affect parsing of the next.
* Construct the static parser once, in a static initializer, and
  reinitialize it for every parse.
* Process every input file even if an earlier one fails, and report all
  the errors together.
* Write the .spinfo file to a temporary file and rename it on success, so
  a failure leaves any existing .spinfo file unchanged.
…ted exceptions

* Write the .spinfo file directly rather than via a temporary file, so it
  gets the usual permissions; delete it if writing fails after it was
  opened.
* If processing a file throws an unexpected exception, still process the
  remaining files, then report all errors as a BugInDaikon.
* Manual: quote the current parse-error message.

- Line 30: Update both changed ReInit overloads so clearing types preserves the
built-in names registered by main, either by storing built-ins separately from
per-parse typedefs or restoring them after reset. Ensure subsequent parses still
recognize names such as __signed__ and __const.

- Line 41: Update Printer.close() to call out.checkError() after out.close(), so
errors recorded during closing are detected and reported as an IOException
before the method returns.
