org.springframework.asm.ClassReader

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.

Field Detail

SKIP_CODE

public static final int SKIP_CODE

A flag to skip the Code attributes. If this flag is set the Code attributes are neither parsed nor visited.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SKIP_DEBUG

public static final int SKIP_DEBUG

A flag to skip the SourceFile, SourceDebugExtension, LocalVariableTable, LocalVariableTypeTable and LineNumberTable attributes. If this flag is set these attributes are neither parsed nor visited (i.e. ClassVisitor.visitSource(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), MethodVisitor.visitLocalVariable(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.springframework.asm.Label, org.springframework.asm.Label, int) and MethodVisitor.visitLineNumber(int, org.springframework.asm.Label) are not called).

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SKIP_FRAMES

public static final int SKIP_FRAMES

A flag to skip the StackMap and StackMapTable attributes. If this flag is set these attributes are neither parsed nor visited (i.e. MethodVisitor.visitFrame(int, int, java.lang.Object[], int, java.lang.Object[]) is not 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.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

EXPAND_FRAMES

public static final int EXPAND_FRAMES

A 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/compression step in ClassReader and ClassWriter which degrades performance quite a lot).

b

@Deprecated
public final byte[] b

Deprecated. Use readByte(int) and the other read methods instead. This field will eventually be deleted.

A byte array containing the JVMS ClassFile structure to be parsed.

header

public final int header

The offset in bytes of the ClassFile's access_flags field.

Constructor Detail

ClassReader

Constructs a new ClassReader object.

Parameters:

classFile - the JVMS ClassFile structure to be read.

ClassReader

public ClassReader(byte[] classFileBuffer,
                   int classFileOffset,

ClassReader

public ClassReader(InputStream inputStream)

Throws:

IOException - if an exception occurs during reading.

Method Detail

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:

ClassVisitor.visit(int, int, String, String, String, String[])

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Returns the internal name of the class (see Type.getInternalName()).

Returns:

the internal class name.

See Also:

ClassVisitor.visit(int, int, String, String, String, String[])

getSuperName

public String getSuperName()

Returns the internal of 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:

ClassVisitor.visit(int, int, String, String, String, String[])

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.

See Also:

ClassVisitor.visit(int, int, String, String, String, String[])

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.

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].

Returns:

the number of entries in the class's constant pool table.
