public class ClassReader extends Object
A parser to make a ClassVisitor visit a ClassFile structure, as defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification (JVMS). This class parses the ClassFile content and calls the appropriate visit methods of a given ClassVisitor for each field, method and bytecode instruction encountered.

      Throws:
      IOException - if an exception occurs during reading.

  • Method Details

    • getAccess

      public int getAccess()
      Returns the class's access flags (see Opcodes). This value may not reflect Deprecated and Synthetic flags when bytecode is before 1.5 and those flags are represented by attributes.
      Returns:
      the class access flags.
      See Also:

    • getClassName

      public String getClassName()
      Returns the internal name of the class (see Type.getInternalName()).
      Returns:
      the internal class name.
      See Also:

    • getSuperName

      public String getSuperName()
      Returns the internal name of the super class (see Type.getInternalName()). For interfaces, the super class is Object.
      Returns:
      the internal name of the super class, or null for Object class.
      See Also:

    • getInterfaces

      public String[] getInterfaces()
      Returns the internal names of the implemented interfaces (see Type.getInternalName()).
      Returns:
      the internal names of the directly implemented interfaces. Inherited implemented interfaces are not returned.

    • accept

      public void accept(ClassVisitor classVisitor, int parsingOptions)
      Makes the given visitor visit the JVMS ClassFile structure passed to the constructor of this ClassReader.
      Parameters:
      classVisitor - the visitor that must visit this class.
      parsingOptions - the options to use to parse this class. One or more of SKIP_CODE, SKIP_DEBUG, SKIP_FRAMES or EXPAND_FRAMES.

    • accept

      public void accept(ClassVisitor classVisitor, Attribute[] attributePrototypes, int parsingOptions)
      Makes the given visitor visit the JVMS ClassFile structure passed to the constructor of this ClassReader.
      Parameters:
      classVisitor - the visitor that must visit this class.
      attributePrototypes - prototypes of the attributes that must be parsed during the visit of the class. Any attribute whose type is not equal to the type of one the prototypes will not be parsed: its byte array value will be passed unchanged to the ClassWriter. This may corrupt it if this value contains references to the constant pool, or has syntactic or semantic links with a class element that has been transformed by a class adapter between the reader and the writer.
      parsingOptions - the options to use to parse this class. One or more of SKIP_CODE, SKIP_DEBUG, SKIP_FRAMES or EXPAND_FRAMES.

    • readBytecodeInstructionOffset

      protected void readBytecodeInstructionOffset(int bytecodeOffset)
      Handles the bytecode offset of the next instruction to be visited in accept(ClassVisitor,int). This method is called just before the instruction and before its associated label and stack map frame, if any. The default implementation of this method does nothing. Subclasses can override this method to store the argument in a mutable field, for instance, so that MethodVisitor instances can get the bytecode offset of each visited instruction (if so, the usual concurrency issues related to mutable data should be addressed).
      Parameters:
      bytecodeOffset - the bytecode offset of the next instruction to be visited.

    • readLabel

      protected Label readLabel(int bytecodeOffset, Label[] labels)
      Returns the label corresponding to the given bytecode offset. The default implementation of this method creates a label for the given offset if it has not been already created.
      Parameters:
      bytecodeOffset - a bytecode offset in a method.
      labels - the already created labels, indexed by their offset. If a label already exists for bytecodeOffset this method must not create a new one. Otherwise it must store the new label in this array.
      Returns:
      a non null Label, which must be equal to labels[bytecodeOffset].

    • getItemCount

      public int getItemCount()
      Returns the number of entries in the class's constant pool table.
      Returns:
      the number of entries in the class's constant pool table.

    • getItem

      public int getItem(int constantPoolEntryIndex)
      Returns the start offset in this ClassReader of a JVMS 'cp_info' structure (i.e. a constant pool entry), plus one. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.
      Parameters:
      constantPoolEntryIndex - the index a constant pool entry in the class's constant pool table.
      Returns:
      the start offset in this ClassReader of the corresponding JVMS 'cp_info' structure, plus one.
