Abstract: Quantified Boolean formula (QBF) techniques are used in determining QBF satisfiability. A QBF is broken into component parts that are analyzable by a satisfiability (SAT) solver. Each component is then independently, and perhaps in parallel, analyzed for satisfiability. If a component is unsatisfiable, then it is determined that the QBF is unsatisfiable, and the analysis is stopped. If a component is satisfiable, then an assignment corresponding to the satisfiable component is noted. If a component is satisfiable, then it is appended to another untested component to provide a combination component, and the satisfiability of the combination component is analyzed. Such appending and analysis is repeated until the QBF is completed and determined to be satisfiable or determined to be unsatisfiable.

Abstract: A technique in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention provides introspection support for anonymous and local classes. As a result of the technique, an enclosing class that defines a generic type variable that is not defined within a local or anonymous class that refers to the generic type variable can be determined. According to one embodiment of the invention, when a compiler determines that a particular class is a local or anonymous class, the compiler emits, into the particular class' binary class file, information that indicates which class encloses the particular class. In response to the invocation of a method (described herein) relative to a reflective proxy that corresponds to an enclosed class, information that identifies an enclosing class that encloses the enclosed class is returned. 
This is so even if the enclosed class is a local or anonymous class.
