Its sibling getParameterTypeInitialized is 1-based, as is most of the whole-program inference API, so name the parameter index_0based and cross-reference the two methods.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The storage API now documents its 1-based and 0-based parameter indexes. The formatter locates the first parameter declared as String in both wpiPrepareMethodForWriting overloads. It handles missing inferred parameters without removing the @Format annotation. The new test verifies this behavior for ajava and jaif inference output.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6f26a

The formatter lookup change is covered for both inference output modes, with no unresolved merge-blocking risk identified.

- Around line 127-130: Update the helpers around AMethod.parameters and
methodAnnos.getParameterType(i) to identify the first declared String parameter
using complete declaration metadata, rather than selecting the first inferred
entry with a non-null type. Once that declaration index is found, immediately
return its inferred parameter type—even when null—and do not inspect later
String parameters. Apply this at FormatterAnnotatedTypeFactory.java lines
127-130 and 174-176.

Add `AinferFormatMethodTest`, which runs whole-program inference in both
ajava and jaif mode and checks that no `@Format` annotation is inferred
for the format string parameter of a `@FormatMethod` method, whose format
string parameter is not its first formal parameter.  A control method in
the same source file shows that inference does annotate the `String`
parameter of a method that is not a format method.

In the ajava code path, determine whether a formal parameter's type is
`String` from its `TypeMirror` when an inferred type is available, which
is the same test that `FormatterVisitor.formatStringIndex` performs.  The
syntactic test, which assumes that the simple name `String` refers to
`java.lang.String`, is now only a fallback for a parameter about which
nothing was inferred.

Document, at `FormatterVisitor.formatStringIndex`, that the two copies of
the definition in `FormatterAnnotatedTypeFactory` must be kept in sync
with it, and correct that method's `@return` tag to say "first" rather
than "last".

207-235: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat an unresolved unqualified String as the format parameter. In formatStringParameterType, isStringParameter accepts the simple name String and returns before checking later parameters. If that type is user-declared and a later parameter is java.lang.String, wpiPrepareMethodForWriting skips removing @Format from the actual format parameter. FormatterVisitor.formatStringIndex uses resolved TypesUtils.isString types and selects the later parameter. Continue past unresolved parameters and remove @Format only from a resolved java.lang.String parameter; otherwise defer cleanup.
