RefType.getAStrictAncestoroverlay[caller?]to ensure that queries that rely on magic to boundgetAStrictAncestorcan still execute efficiently with overlay compilation enabled.Queries that rely on magic to ensure efficient bounding of
getAStrictAncestorincludesjava/useless-type-test,java/useless-upcast,java/missing-super-finalize,java/non-final-call-in-constructor,java/incorrect-serial-version-uid,java/non-serializable-field,java/unreachable-catch-clause,java/non-static-nested-class,java/lock-order-inconsistency,java/magic-string,java/confusing-override-name. Without magic bounds, these queries regress significantly for thepalatable__lambdaDCA test case.The regressions can also be fixed on the query side by adding suitable
overlay[local?]annotations, but given the number of affected queries, it seems likely that custom queries that usegetAStrictAncestorwould also regress with a solution based on query-side annotations.Overlay compilation is currently disabled for Java and the annotations therefore have no effect on compilation or evaluation at the moment.
