Constant Field Values

SKIP_CODE

public static final int SKIP_CODE

Flag to skip method code. If this class is set CODE attribute won't be visited. This can be used, for example, to retrieve annotations for methods and method parameters.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SKIP_DEBUG

public static final int SKIP_DEBUG

Flag to skip the debug information in the class. If this flag is set the debug information of the class is not visited, i.e. the visitLocalVariable and visitLineNumber methods will not be called.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SKIP_FRAMES

public static final int SKIP_FRAMES

Flag to skip the stack map frames in the class. If this flag is set the stack map frames of the class is not visited, i.e. the visitFrame method will not be called. This flag is useful when the ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES option is used: it avoids visiting frames that will be ignored and recomputed from scratch in the class writer.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

EXPAND_FRAMES

public static final int EXPAND_FRAMES

Flag to expand the stack map frames. By default stack map frames are visited in their original format (i.e. "expanded" for classes whose version is less than V1_6, and "compressed" for the other classes). If this flag is set, stack map frames are always visited in expanded format (this option adds a decompression/recompression step in ClassReader and ClassWriter which degrades performances quite a lot).

See Also:

Constant Field Values

b

public final byte[] b

The class to be parsed. The content of this array must not be modified. This field is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

items

private final int[] items

The start index of each constant pool item in b, plus one. The one byte offset skips the constant pool item tag that indicates its type.

strings

private final java.lang.String[] strings

The String objects corresponding to the CONSTANT_Utf8 items. This cache avoids multiple parsing of a given CONSTANT_Utf8 constant pool item, which GREATLY improves performances (by a factor 2 to 3). This caching strategy could be extended to all constant pool items, but its benefit would not be so great for these items (because they are much less expensive to parse than CONSTANT_Utf8 items).

maxStringLength

private final int maxStringLength

Maximum length of the strings contained in the constant pool of the class.

header

public final int header

Start index of the class header information (access, name...) in b.
