Class TupleSequence

java.lang.Object

randoop.sequence.TupleSequence

public final class TupleSequence
extends Object

A Sequence that produces a tuple or collection of values, all of the same type.

To make a new sequence requires choosing an operation, choosing a value (really, a previously-created sequence and one of its outputs) for each of the operation's inputs, and then concatenating all the input sequences along with the new operation. Most operations take a well-defined number and type of inputs. This helper class supports calling operations that take a variable number of inputs -- namely, array and list creation.

Ordinarily:

• Each Sequence consists of a single operation (the final statement) and its inputs. Those inputs are individually chosen and may be of different types, because the operation takes multiple types of arguments.
• Each Sequence creates multiple values: the value produced by its last statement, and the values that might be side-effected by its last statement.
• Each valid Sequence is output as a regression test. All of its values are in the pool, and when Randoop needs a value, it might choose any of them. Only one of its outputs is used when it is used as a component in a larger sequence.

This sequence is different.

• It is created as the concatenation of valid sequences, without an operation at the end.
• Its outputs are one value from each of the sequences that created it.
• It is not output as a regression test, but is used as one of the inputs to an array- or list-producing operation that will be output. All of its outputs are used.

Constructor Detail

TupleSequence

public TupleSequence(List<Sequence> sequences,
                     List<Integer> variables)

Create a TupleSequence that concatenates the given sequences, choosing the given variable from each.

Parameters:

sequences - that will be concatenated to make the new TupleSequence

variables - one index per sequence in sequences, defining the outputs of the TupleSequence

Method Detail

getOutputIndices

public List<Integer> getOutputIndices()

Returns the list of output indices.

Returns:

the list of output indices for this sequence

createElementsSequence

public static TupleSequence createElementsSequence(SimpleList<Sequence> candidates,
                                                   int length,
                                                   Type elementType)

Selects sequences as element values for creating a collection.

Parameters:

candidates - the sequences from which to select

length - the number of values to select

elementType - the type of elements

Returns:

a sequence with subsequences that create element values for a collection
