Enum TypeConstantAdjustment

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<TypeConstantAdjustment>

net.bytebuddy.asm.TypeConstantAdjustment

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<TypeConstantAdjustment>, ClassVisitorWrapper

public enum TypeConstantAdjustment
extends Enum<TypeConstantAdjustment>
implements ClassVisitorWrapper

This class visitor wrapper ensures that class files of a version previous to Java 5 do not store class entries in the generated class's constant pool. All found class instances are instead mapped as String values where the class constant is retrieved by a call to Class.forName(String).

Warning: This can lead to subtle bugs as classes that are not available yield a ClassNotFoundException instead of a NoClassDefFoundError. The former, checked exception could therefore be thrown even if the method that unsuccessfully loads a class does not declared the checked exception. Furthermore, Class constants are not cached as fields within the class as the Java compiler implemented class constants before Java 5. As a benefit for this limitation, the registered wrapper does not require any additional work by a ClassWriter or ClassReader, i.e. does not set any flags.

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
protected static class	TypeConstantAdjustment.TypeConstantDissolvingClassVisitor A class visitor that checks a class file version for its support of storing class constants in the constant pool and remaps such constants on discovery if that is not the case.

Enum Constant Detail

INSTANCE

public static final TypeConstantAdjustment INSTANCE

The singleton instance.

Method Detail

values

public static TypeConstantAdjustment[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (TypeConstantAdjustment c : TypeConstantAdjustment.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TypeConstantAdjustment valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

mergeWriter

public int mergeWriter(int flags)

Description copied from interface: ClassVisitorWrapper

Defines the flags that are provided to any ClassWriter when writing a class. Typically, this gives opportunity to instruct ASM to compute stack map frames or the size of the local variables array and the operand stack. If no specific flags are required for applying this wrapper, the given value is to be returned.

Specified by:

mergeWriter in interface ClassVisitorWrapper

Parameters:

flags - The currently set flags. This value should be combined (e.g. flags | foo) into the value that is returned by this wrapper.

Returns:

The flags to be provided to the ASM ClassWriter.

mergeReader

public int mergeReader(int flags)

Description copied from interface: ClassVisitorWrapper

Defines the flags that are provided to any ClassReader when reading a class if applicable. Typically, this gives opportunity to instruct ASM to expand or skip frames and to skip code and debug information. If no specific flags are required for applying this wrapper, the given value is to be returned.

Specified by:

mergeReader in interface ClassVisitorWrapper

Parameters:

flags - The currently set flags. This value should be combined (e.g. flags | foo) into the value that is returned by this wrapper.

Returns:

The flags to be provided to the ASM ClassReader.

wrap

public ClassVisitor wrap(ClassVisitor classVisitor)

Description copied from interface: ClassVisitorWrapper

Applies a ClassVisitorWrapper to the creation of a DynamicType.

Specified by:

wrap in interface ClassVisitorWrapper

Parameters:

classVisitor - A ClassVisitor to become the new primary class visitor to which the created DynamicType is written to.

Returns:

A new ClassVisitor that usually delegates to the ClassVisitor delivered in the argument.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<TypeConstantAdjustment>
