    • findInvocationLeastUpperBound

      @CheckForNull public static JavaClassAndMethod findInvocationLeastUpperBound(org.apache.bcel.generic.InvokeInstruction inv, org.apache.bcel.generic.ConstantPoolGen cpg) throws ClassNotFoundException

      Find the least upper bound method in the class hierarchy which could be called by the given InvokeInstruction. One reason this method is useful is that it indicates which declared exceptions are thrown by the called methods.

      • For invokespecial, this is simply an exact lookup.
      • For invokestatic and invokevirtual, the named class is searched, followed by superclasses up to the root of the object hierarchy (java.lang.Object). Yes, invokestatic really is declared to check superclasses. See VMSpec, 2nd ed, sec. 5.4.3.3.
      • For invokeinterface, the named class is searched, followed by all interfaces transitively declared by the class. (Question: is the order important here? Maybe the VM spec requires that the actual interface desired is given, so the extended lookup will not be required. Should check.)
      Parameters:
      inv - the InvokeInstruction
      cpg - the ConstantPoolGen used by the class the InvokeInstruction belongs to
      Returns:
      the JavaClassAndMethod, or null if no matching method can be found

      ClassNotFoundException
