Model Java Interface applications

Question

What wide range of applications are provided by Model Java Interface?

Answer 1

MJI (Model Java Interface) offers a wide range of applications. These include the following:

A) Interception of native methods including calls to native libraries: We can easily model and abstract the operation of these libraries.

B) Interfacing of JPF system-level functionality: Some system-level functions of standard library classes (especially java.lang.Class and java.lang.Thread) must be intercepted even if they are not native, because they have to affect the JPF internal class, object, and thread model.

C) Extending the functionality of JPF without changing its implementation.

D) State space reduction: By delegating bytecode execution into the non-state-tracked host JVM, we can cut off large parts of the state space. This improves the efficiency and scalability of the analysis.

E) Collecting information about JPF’s state space exploration.
