No existing whole-program-inference test uses a checker that restricts the Java types on which its qualifiers may be written, so nothing tests the interaction of `@RelevantJavaTypes` with inference. Add `AinferRelevanceTestChecker`, which uses the same type system and visitor as `AinferTestChecker` but lists only `CharSequence`, `int`, and `Map.Entry` as relevant. Add the `ainferRelevanceAjavaTest` Gradle task and test inputs that cover relevant types, irrelevant types, and the several ways a program can refer to a type (a nested type, a type variable that shadows a class, a type in the same package that shadows one in `java.lang`, and so on). The generation pass compares its output to `.ajava.goal` files. The validation pass alone cannot detect an annotation that inference writes on an irrelevant type, because such an annotation does not change the result of type-checking. The goal files record current behavior: inference writes annotations even on types that the checker treats as irrelevant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a checker declares `@RelevantJavaTypes`, whole-program inference could write, into an `.ajava` file, an annotation on a Java type that the checker treats as irrelevant. Such an annotation is clutter: omitting it does not change the result of type-checking. Omit such an annotation when writing the `.ajava` file. The test is conservative: it discards an annotation only when the annotation is definitely irrelevant where it appears. Relevance constrains the Java types on which a qualifier may be *written*, so it says nothing about a declaration annotation, even one that is also a type qualifier. JavaParser attaches an annotation that precedes a declaration's type to the declaration rather than to the type, so the two cases cannot be told apart from the AST alone. Mark each annotation that inference adds as a declaration annotation with a JavaParser `DataKey`, and always retain it. Update the `ainfer-relevance` goal files, which previously recorded the old behavior. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Goal files existed for only 2 of the 9 ajava files that inference generates for the ainfer-relevance tests. In particular, nothing observed the annotations that inference writes on the irrelevant types in `RelevantSubtype` (`@AinferTop char charAt(...)`) and in `RelevantTypes` (the varargs `String @AinferTop ... args` that `RelevantTypes.java` claims to test): such an annotation does not change the result of type-checking, so the validation pass cannot detect it either. Add the 7 missing goal files, and require a goal file for every generated ajava file and vice versa, so that no inference result goes unexamined. Comment the two test inputs whose goal files now record an annotation on an irrelevant type. Also: * When the goal file or the ajava file is absent, do not advise copying a file that does not exist. * Find the generated ajava files by walking the output directory, and fail with an explanation if one is in a package subdirectory, where the flat goal-file naming scheme could never match it. (Latent today: every test input is in the unnamed package.) * Drop `build/ainfer-relevance` from the directories that `ainferRelevanceGenerateAjava` deletes; nothing creates it. * Say in `AinferRelevanceTestChecker`'s Javadoc that, unlike `AinferTestChecker`, it does not use the Value Checker as a subchecker.

… stale The `RelevantSubtype` and `RelevantTypes` goal files were generated on the `ainfer-relevance-tests` branch, which did not contain the commit that omits irrelevant annotations, so they record the old behavior: an `@AinferTop` on the return type `char`, and an `@AinferTop` on the array type that a varargs `...` creates. Neither annotation is written any more, so `ainferRelevanceGenerateAjava` failed. Regenerate the goal files, and update the two test inputs' comments, which likewise describe the old behavior.

When the pretty-printer skipped an annotation, it had already printed the whitespace that separates the annotation from what follows it, so each omitted annotation left a stray space or blank line: `java.util. Date`, `static double`, `String [] []`. This partly defeats the purpose of omitting the annotation, which is to reduce clutter. Instead, remove the annotations that should not be printed -- invisible qualifiers, and irrelevant qualifiers when they are being omitted -- from a clone of the compilation unit, and print that. The pretty-printer then outputs no separator for them. This also fixes the stray whitespace that an invisible qualifier left, which predates the omission of irrelevant qualifiers.

`JavaParserUtil.resolveTypeName` did not model the scope of a local class or of an anonymous class, so a name that such a class declares or inherits resolved to a same-named type that is declared outside it. If that type is irrelevant, inference silently discarded a correct annotation. `TypeDeclaration.getFullyQualifiedName()` is part of the problem: for a local class `Foo` in `Outer`, it returns "Outer.Foo", which `Elements` resolves to a member type of `Outer`. Model these scopes: * A local class shadows every type of the same name, and `Elements` cannot look up a local class, so return null (that is, be conservative). * Likewise for a member type of a class that `Elements` cannot look up: a local class, an anonymous class (including the body of an enum constant), or a class nested within one. * Such a class also inherits its supertype's member types. Resolve the supertype and search it, which is precise rather than conservative. The supertype names are excluded from the class's own body scope, both because that is the Java rule and because it bounds the recursion. Add `nameableFullyQualifiedName`, which returns a fully-qualified name only when `Elements` can look it up, in place of `TypeDeclaration.getFullyQualifiedName()`. Add tests for a local class, an anonymous class, an enum constant's body, and a member type inherited into a local or anonymous class. Each test loses an annotation if its part of this fix is reverted. `InheritedTypeShadows` also shows that the supertype search is precise: an annotation on an inherited member type that is irrelevant is still omitted.

`resolveMemberType` returned any non-private member type that it found in a supertype. A package-private member type is inherited only within its own package, so a package-private member type of a supertype in a different package was wrongly returned. Also, a declaration hides what its declaring type would otherwise inherit even when the declaration itself is not inherited, so the search must not continue past it into that type's supertypes. Either error made `annotationIsRelevant` ask about the wrong type, which could discard a relevant annotation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Resolving one type name looks up many candidate names -- one per enclosing type declaration, one per import, one per on-demand import, one in the same package, one in `java.lang`, and one for the name as a fully-qualified name. Most of those names name no type, and a client that resolves many names looks up the same names over and over. Add an overload of `resolveTypeName` that takes a cache, and route every lookup through it, so that a client that resolves many names pays for each distinct name only once. The cache records a lookup that finds no type, which is the common case. The existing one-argument overload is unchanged from a caller's point of view; it allocates a cache that lives for the one call. This is a performance change; it does not change any result. A cache must not be reused across annotation processing rounds or across `Elements` instances, because a name that names no type in one round might name a generated type in a later round; the Javadoc says so.

To avoid cluttering an ajava file, whole-program inference does not print the invisible qualifiers. It suppressed them by overriding the pretty-printer's three `visit(...AnnotationExpr)` methods to return without printing. By the time the pretty-printer visits an annotation, it has already printed the whitespace that separates the annotation from what follows it, so each suppressed annotation leaves a stray space or blank line: `java.util. Date`, `static double`, `String [] []`. That partly defeats the purpose of not printing the annotation, which is to reduce clutter. Instead, remove the annotations that should not be printed from a clone of the compilation unit, and print that. The pretty-printer then outputs no separator for them. The clone is necessary because the removal is a side effect, and the AST is printed once per checker that was run. No test output changes: the test checkers declare no invisible qualifier, so nothing is removed in the test suite. This refactoring is worthwhile on its own for the stray whitespace it fixes for a checker that does declare one, and it is a prerequisite for omitting irrelevant annotations, which would otherwise leave the same stray whitespace on every annotation it omits.

When a checker declares `@RelevantJavaTypes`, whole-program inference could write, into an `.ajava` file, an annotation on a Java type that the checker treats as irrelevant. Such an annotation is clutter: omitting it does not change the result of type-checking. Omit such an annotation when writing the `.ajava` file. The test is conservative: it discards an annotation only when the annotation is definitely irrelevant where it appears. Relevance constrains the Java types on which a qualifier may be *written*, so it says nothing about a declaration annotation, even one that is also a type qualifier. JavaParser attaches an annotation that precedes a declaration's type to the declaration rather than to the type, so the two cases cannot be told apart from the AST alone. Mark each annotation that inference adds as a declaration annotation with a JavaParser `DataKey`, and always retain it. Update the `ainfer-relevance` goal files and the test inputs' comments, which previously recorded the old behavior. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add tests for a local class, an anonymous class, an enum constant's body, and a member type inherited into a local or anonymous class.

Fix the `anno.on.irrelevant` warning in `IrrelevantTypeVariable.java` with `@SuppressWarnings`, the idiom that the other tests in this directory use, rather than by deleting the file from the validation pass in `build.gradle`. The test now runs in both passes. `resolveName` no longer returns a TypeParameter for a name with more than one component, such as `T.Inner`: a type variable has no member types, so such a name names nothing. This moves the check from the caller into the resolver. Make `ResolvedName` and `resolveName` public, so that a client that needs to know both whether a name names a type and whether it names a type variable can resolve it once. `WholeProgramInferenceJavaParserStorage.typeToTypeMirror` walked the enclosing scopes twice for every such name.

…-mernst-branch-javaparserutil-unit-tests into ainfer-relevance-omit-irrelevant The conflict is in `WholeProgramInferenceJavaParserStorage`, where this branch had already moved `typeToTypeMirror` and `typeVariableUpperBound` into `JavaParserUtil` as `typeToTypeMirrorErasingTypeVariables`. Keep that refactoring and drop the merged-in versions of the two methods. The merged-in change moves the "a type variable has no member types" check from `typeToTypeMirrorErasingTypeVariables` into `resolveName`, so remove the now unreachable check from the caller and update the unit test for `T.Inner`, which now names nothing at all.

`WholeProgramInferenceJavaParserStorage` had its own `typeToTypeMirror`, which differed from `JavaParserUtil.typeToTypeMirror` only in that a use of a type variable yields the type variable's effective upper bound. Merge the two: `JavaParserUtil.typeToTypeMirror` now resolves a name with `resolveName` and returns the upper bound for a type variable. Also move the helper method `typeVariableUpperBound`.

`typeToTypeMirror` again returns null for a use of a type variable; the new `typeToTypeMirrorOrUpperBound` substitutes the upper bound, which is sound only for a client that erases the result. Reduce the visibility of `ResolvedName`, `resolveName`, and `typeVariableUpperBound`, and delete the unused `resolveTypeVariableName`.
Track the enclosing type to compare in a single nullable variable, so that the nullness checker can relate the null check to the use.

When a checker declares
@RelevantJavaTypes, whole-program inference could write, into an.ajavafile, an annotation on a Java type that the checker treats as irrelevant. Such an annotation is clutter: because the checker treats the type as irrelevant, omitting the annotation does not change the result of type-checking.Omit such an annotation when writing the
.ajavafile. The test is conservative: an annotation is discarded only when it is definitely irrelevant where it appears. If the annotation's location or its type cannot be determined, the annotation is retained.Declaration annotations
Relevance constrains the Java types on which a qualifier may be written, so it says nothing about a declaration annotation -- even one that is also a type qualifier, as
addMethodDeclarationAnnotationcan produce. JavaParser attaches an annotation that precedes a declaration's type to the declaration rather than to the type, so the two cases cannot be told apart from the AST alone. Each annotation that inference adds as a declaration annotation is therefore marked with a JavaParserDataKey, and is always retained.Tests
The goal files added by #8176 change, and their diff is the substance of this PR's test evidence:
@AinferTopis no longer written ondoubleor on an array type, while the@AinferSibling1declaration annotation on avoidmethod is retained.The validation pass of the
ainfer-relevancetest is the guard against discarding too much: if an annotation on a relevant type were dropped, the error it suppresses would reappear../gradlew :checker:ainferTestpasses.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
