/**
 * See the package object `analysis` for details on the ASM analysis framework.
 *
 * Some notes on nullness analysis.
 *
 * For an instance method, `this` is non-null at entry. So we have to return a NotNull value when
 * the analyzer is initializing the first frame of a method (see above). This required a change of
 * the analyzer: before it would simply call `interpreter.newValue`, where we don't have the
 * required context. See https://github.com/scala/scala-asm/commit/8133d75032.
 *
 * After some operations we know that a certain value is not null (e.g. the receiver of an instance
 * call). However, the receiver is an value on the stack and consumed while interpreting the
 * instruction - so we can only gain some knowledge if we know that the receiver was an alias of
 * some other local variable or stack slot. Therefore we use the AliasingFrame class.
 *
 * TODO:
 * Finally, we'd also like to exploit the knowledge gained from `if (x == null)` tests: x is known
 * to be null in one branch, not null in the other. This will make use of alias tracking as well.
 * We still have to figure out how to do this exactly in the analyzer framework.
