In MyEnum.java put the following and compile with javac:

enum MyEnum {
	VALUE;
}

Then put the following into ConservativeClassLiteral.java:

import java.util.EnumSet;

class ConservativeClassLiteral {
  EnumSet<MyEnum> none() {
    return EnumSet.noneOf(MyEnum.class);
  }
}

Class literals should always be initialized and non-null, independent of whether conservative defaults are used.
However, when compiling with ./checker/bin/javac -cp . -processor nullness -AuseConservativeDefaultsForUncheckedCode=bytecode,-source ConservativeClassLiteral.java one gets:

ConservativeClassLiteral.java:5: error: [argument.type.incompatible] incompatible argument for parameter elementType of noneOf.
    return EnumSet.noneOf(MyEnum.class);
                                ^
  found   : @UnknownInitialization @Nullable Class<@Initialized @NonNull MyEnum>
  required: @Initialized @NonNull Class<@Initialized @NonNull MyEnum>
1 error

When looking at the CFG for the above example, one first sees a ClassName node for MyEnum followed by a FieldAccess node for MyEnum.class.
This is wrong, as the javadoc for FieldAccess explicitly states: It does not represent a class literal such as {@code SomeClass.class} or {@code int[].class}; see https://github.com/eisop/checker-framework/blob/388fdb094942de42e871a96171fadb80c4d1a0e1/dataflow/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/dataflow/expression/FieldAccess.java#L19C45-L20C43 .

Thanks, I have reproduced the result and CFG. I am working on it right now.

@wmdietl Dear Prof. Dietl, for adding this test case to the repo, include the MyEnum.class or MyEnum.java with a compile script, which one do you think is better?

In general let's try to avoid .class files. With jtreg you can very flexibly compile test files.
See e.g. this where we first compile a class without checker and then run different checks.
Something similar should work here, with different flags for how conservative to be.

Thanks for providing me with the resource.

As described in the isFieldAccess method javadoc: This method currently also returns true for class literals and qualified this. https://github.com/eisop/checker-framework/blob/dff55470ded29b0a99cb26ba9b4e5158db0ec849/javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/TreeUtils.java#L1555C43-L1555C43.

I think this is wrong and cause the fieldaccess on class literal in

checker-framework/dataflow/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/dataflow/cfg/builder/CFGTranslationPhaseOne.java

Line 3561 in f50cbe3

if (!TreeUtils.isFieldAccess(tree)) {
.

I think we should use classnamenode for class literal. But I am not sure if is there any easy way to make sure the isFieldAccess method only returns true for field access.

I am a little confused, should we consider MyEnum.class a member select process? If not, there should be only one classname nodes for class literals.
