public class ClassWriter
extends ClassVisitor
```
A ClassVisitor that generates classes in bytecode form. More precisely this visitor generates a byte array conforming to the Java class file format. It can be used alone, to generate a Java class "from scratch", or with one or more ClassReader and adapter class visitor to generate a modified class from one or more existing Java classes.

- Field Detail
  - COMPUTE_MAXS
```
public static final int COMPUTE_MAXS
```
    Flag to automatically compute the maximum stack size and the maximum number of local variables of methods. If this flag is set, then the arguments of the visitMaxs method of the MethodVisitor returned by the visitMethod method will be ignored, and computed automatically from the signature and the bytecode of each method.

    ClassWriter(int), Constant Field Values
  - COMPUTE_FRAMES
```
public static final int COMPUTE_FRAMES
```
    Flag to automatically compute the stack map frames of methods from scratch.

  - computeMaxs
```
private boolean computeMaxs
```
    true if the maximum stack size and number of local variables must be automatically computed.
  - computeFrames
```
private boolean computeFrames
```
    true if the stack map frames must be recomputed from scratch.
  - invalidFrames
```
boolean invalidFrames
```
    true if the stack map tables of this class are invalid. The MethodWriter.resizeInstructions() method cannot transform existing stack map tables, and so produces potentially invalid classes when it is executed. In this case the class is reread and rewritten with the COMPUTE_FRAMES option (the resizeInstructions method can resize stack map tables when this option is used).
- Constructor Detail
  - ClassWriter
```
public ClassWriter(int flags)
```
    Constructs a new ClassWriter object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    flags - option flags that can be used to modify the default behavior of this class. See COMPUTE_MAXS, COMPUTE_FRAMES.
  - ClassWriter
```
public ClassWriter(ClassReader classReader,
                   int flags)
```
    Constructs a new ClassWriter object and enables optimizations for "mostly add" bytecode transformations. These optimizations are the following:
    - The constant pool from the original class is copied as is in the new class, which saves time. New constant pool entries will be added at the end if necessary, but unused constant pool entries won't be removed.
    - Methods that are not transformed are copied as is in the new class, directly from the original class bytecode (i.e. without emitting visit events for all the method instructions), which saves a lot of time. Untransformed methods are detected by the fact that the ClassReader receives MethodVisitor objects that come from a ClassWriter (and not from any other ClassVisitor instance).
    Parameters:
    
    classReader - the ClassReader used to read the original class. It will be used to copy the entire constant pool from the original class and also to copy other fragments of original bytecode where applicable.
    
    flags - option flags that can be used to modify the default behavior of this class. These option flags do not affect methods that are copied as is in the new class. This means that the maximum stack size nor the stack frames will be computed for these methods. See COMPUTE_MAXS, COMPUTE_FRAMES.

    a new or already existing string item.
  - newNameType
```
public int newNameType(java.lang.String name,
                       java.lang.String desc)
```
    Adds a name and type to the constant pool of the class being build. Does nothing if the constant pool already contains a similar item. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a name.
    
    desc - a type descriptor.
    
    Returns:
    
    the index of a new or already existing name and type item.
  - newNameTypeItem
```
Item newNameTypeItem(java.lang.String name,
                     java.lang.String desc)
```
    Adds a name and type to the constant pool of the class being build. Does nothing if the constant pool already contains a similar item.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a name.
    
    desc - a type descriptor.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new or already existing name and type item.
  - addType
```
int addType(java.lang.String type)
```
    Adds the given internal name to typeTable and returns its index. Does nothing if the type table already contains this internal name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the internal name to be added to the type table.
    
    Returns:
    
    the index of this internal name in the type table.
  - addUninitializedType
```
int addUninitializedType(java.lang.String type,
                         int offset)
```
    Adds the given "uninitialized" type to typeTable and returns its index. This method is used for UNINITIALIZED types, made of an internal name and a bytecode offset.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the internal name to be added to the type table.
    
    offset - the bytecode offset of the NEW instruction that created this UNINITIALIZED type value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the index of this internal name in the type table.
  - addType
```
private Item addType(Item item)
```
    Adds the given Item to typeTable.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the value to be added to the type table.
    
    Returns:
    
    the added Item, which a new Item instance with the same value as the given Item.
  - getMergedType
```
int getMergedType(int type1,
                  int type2)
```
    Returns the index of the common super type of the two given types. This method calls getCommonSuperClass(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) and caches the result in the items hash table to speedup future calls with the same parameters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type1 - index of an internal name in typeTable.
    
    type2 - index of an internal name in typeTable.
    
    Returns:
    
    the index of the common super type of the two given types.
  - getCommonSuperClass
```
protected java.lang.String getCommonSuperClass(java.lang.String type1,
                                               java.lang.String type2)
```
    Returns the common super type of the two given types. The default implementation of this method loads the two given classes and uses the java.lang.Class methods to find the common super class. It can be overridden to compute this common super type in other ways, in particular without actually loading any class, or to take into account the class that is currently being generated by this ClassWriter, which can of course not be loaded since it is under construction.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type1 - the internal name of a class.
    
    type2 - the internal name of another class.
    
    Returns:
    
    the internal name of the common super class of the two given classes.
  - getClassLoader
```
protected java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader()
```
  - get
```
private Item get(Item key)
```
    Returns the constant pool's hash table item which is equal to the given item.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - a constant pool item.
    
    Returns:
    
    the constant pool's hash table item which is equal to the given item, or null if there is no such item.
  - put
```
private void put(Item i)
```
    Puts the given item in the constant pool's hash table. The hash table must not already contains this item.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - the item to be added to the constant pool's hash table.
  - put122
```
private void put122(int b,
                    int s1,
                    int s2)
```
    Puts one byte and two shorts into the constant pool.
    
    Parameters:
    
    b - a byte.
    
    s1 - a short.
    
    s2 - another short.
  - put112
```
private void put112(int b1,
                    int b2,
                    int s)
```
    Puts two bytes and one short into the constant pool.
    
    Parameters:
    
    b1 - a byte.
    
    b2 - another byte.
    
    s - a short.
