Method Details

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.

readAttribute

protected Attribute readAttribute(Attribute[] attrs,
                                  String type,
                                  int off,
                                  int len,
                                  char[] buf,
                                  int codeOff,
                                  Label[] labels)
Reads an attribute in b.
Parameters:
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 is ignored (i.e. an empty Attribute instance is returned).
type - the type of the attribute.
off - index of the first byte of the attribute's content in b. The 6 attribute header bytes, containing the type and the length of the attribute, are not taken into account here (they have already been read).
len - the length of the attribute's content.
buf - buffer to be used to call readUTF8, readClass or readConst.
codeOff - index of the first byte of code's attribute content in b, or -1 if the attribute to be read is not a code attribute. The 6 attribute header bytes, containing the type and the length of the attribute, are not taken into account here.
labels - the labels of the method's code, or null if the attribute to be read is not a code attribute.
Returns:
the attribute that has been read, or null to skip this attribute.

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.

readClass

public 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 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.

readInt

public int readInt(int index)

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.

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.

the read value.

readUTF8

public 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.
