Class 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.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ClassReader

        public ClassReader​(byte[] classFile)
        Constructs a new ClassReader object.
        Parameters:
        classFile - the JVMS ClassFile structure to be read.
      • ClassReader

        public ClassReader​(byte[] classFileBuffer,
                           int classFileOffset,
                           int classFileLength)
        Constructs a new ClassReader object.
        Parameters:
        classFileBuffer - a byte array containing the JVMS ClassFile structure to be read.
        classFileOffset - the offset in byteBuffer of the first byte of the ClassFile to be read.
        classFileLength - the length in bytes of the ClassFile to be read.
      • ClassReader

        public ClassReader​(InputStream inputStream)
                    throws IOException
        Constructs a new ClassReader object.
        Parameters:
        inputStream - an input stream of the JVMS ClassFile structure to be read. This input stream must contain nothing more than the ClassFile structure itself. It is read from its current position to its end.
        Throws:
        IOException - if a problem occurs during reading.
    • Method Detail

      • 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].
      • getItemCount

        public int getItemCount()
        Returns the number of entries in the class's constant pool table.
        Returns:
        the number of entries in the class's constant pool table.
      • getItem

        public int getItem​(int constantPoolEntryIndex)
        Returns the start offset in this ClassReader of a JVMS 'cp_info' structure (i.e. a constant pool entry), plus one. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.
        Parameters:
        constantPoolEntryIndex - the index a constant pool entry in the class's constant pool table.
        Returns:
        the start offset in this ClassReader of the corresponding JVMS 'cp_info' structure, plus one.
