byte[]

b The class to be parsed.

Constructor Summary

ClassReader(byte[] b)
Constructs a new ClassReader object.

ClassReader(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Constructs a new ClassReader object.

ClassReader(java.io.InputStream is)
Constructs a new ClassReader object.

ClassReader(java.lang.String name)

Field Detail

b

public final byte[] b

Description copied from class: ClassReader

The class to be parsed. The content of this array must not be modified. This field is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Constructor Detail

ClassReader

public ClassReader(byte[] b)

Constructs a new ClassReader object.

Parameters:

b - the bytecode of the class to be read.

ClassReader

public ClassReader(byte[] b,
                   int off,
                   int len)

Constructs a new ClassReader object.

Parameters:

b - the bytecode of the class to be read.

off - the start offset of the class data.

len - the length of the class data.

ClassReader

public ClassReader(java.io.InputStream is)
            throws java.io.IOException

Constructs a new ClassReader object.

Parameters:

is - an input stream from which to read the class.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if a problem occurs during reading.

ClassReader

public ClassReader(java.lang.String name)
            throws java.io.IOException

Constructs a new ClassReader object.

Parameters:

name - the fully qualified name of the class to be read.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an exception occurs during reading.

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(ClassVisitor classVisitor,
                   boolean skipDebug)

Makes the given visitor visit the Java class of this ClassReader. This class is the one specified in the constructor (see ClassReader).

Parameters:

classVisitor - the visitor that must visit this class.

skipDebug - true if the debug information of the class must not be visited. In this case the visitLocalVariable and visitLineNumber methods will not be called.

accept

public void accept(ClassVisitor classVisitor,
                   Attribute[] attrs,
                   boolean skipDebug)

Makes the given visitor visit the Java class of this ClassReader. This class is the one specified in the constructor (see ClassReader).

Parameters:

classVisitor - the visitor that must visit this class.

attrs - 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 be ignored.

skipDebug - true if the debug information of the class must not be visited. In this case the visitLocalVariable and visitLineNumber methods will not be called.

getItem

public int getItem(int item)

Returns the start index of the constant pool item in b, plus one. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

item - the index a constant pool item.

Returns:

the start index of the constant pool item in b, plus one.

readByte

public int readByte(int index)

Reads a byte value in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of the value to be read in b.

Returns:

the read value.

readUnsignedShort

public int readUnsignedShort(int index)

Reads an unsigned short value in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of the value to be read in b.

Returns:

the read value.

readShort

public short readShort(int index)

Reads a signed short value in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of the value to be read in b.

Returns:

the read value.

readInt

public int readInt(int index)

Reads a signed int value in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of the value to be read in b.

Returns:

the read value.

readLong

public long readLong(int index)

Reads a signed long value in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of the value to be read in b.

Returns:

the read value.

readUTF8

public java.lang.String readUTF8(int index,
                                 char[] buf)

Reads an UTF8 string constant pool item in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of an unsigned short value in b, whose value is the index of an UTF8 constant pool item.

buf - buffer to be used to read the item. This buffer must be sufficiently large. It is not automatically resized.

Returns:

the String corresponding to the specified UTF8 item.

readClass

public java.lang.String readClass(int index,
                                  char[] buf)

Reads a class constant pool item in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

index - the start index of an unsigned short value in b, whose value is the index of a class constant pool item.

buf - buffer to be used to read the item. This buffer must be sufficiently large. It is not automatically resized.

Returns:

the String corresponding to the specified class item.

readConst

public java.lang.Object readConst(int item,
                                  char[] buf)

Reads a numeric or string constant pool item in b. This method is intended for Attribute sub classes, and is normally not needed by class generators or adapters.

Parameters:

item - the index of a constant pool item.

buf - buffer to be used to read the item. This buffer must be sufficiently large. It is not automatically resized.

Returns:

the Integer, Float, Long, Double, String or Type corresponding to the given constant pool item.
