Class Synthetic

public final class Synthetic extends Attribute

This class is derived from Attribute and declares this class as `synthetic', i.e., it needs special handling. The JVM specification states "A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute." It may appear in the ClassFile attribute table, a field_info table or a method_info table. This class is intended to be instantiated from the Attribute.readAttribute() method.

Constructor Detail

Synthetic

public Synthetic(Synthetic c)
Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use copy() for a physical copy.

Synthetic

public Synthetic(int name_index, int length, byte[] bytes, ConstantPool constant_pool)

Parameters: name_index Index in constant pool to CONSTANT_Utf8, which should represent the string "Synthetic". length Content length in bytes - should be zero. bytes Attribute contents constant_pool The constant pool this attribute is associated with.

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)
Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.

Parameters: v Visitor object

copy

public Attribute copy(ConstantPool _constant_pool)

Returns: deep copy of this attribute

dump

public final void dump(DataOutputStream file)
Dump source file attribute to file stream in binary format.

Parameters: file Output file stream

Throws: IOException

getBytes

public final byte[] getBytes()

Returns: data bytes.

setBytes

public final void setBytes(byte[] bytes)

Parameters: bytes

toString

public final String toString()

Returns: String representation.
