Class CheckClassAdapter


  • public class CheckClassAdapter
    extends ClassVisitor
    A ClassVisitor that checks that its methods are properly used. More precisely this class adapter checks each method call individually, based only on its arguments, but does not check the sequence of method calls. For example, the invalid sequence visitField(ACC_PUBLIC, "i", "I", null) visitField(ACC_PUBLIC, "i", "D", null) will not be detected by this class adapter.

    CheckClassAdapter can be also used to verify bytecode transformations in order to make sure transformed bytecode is sane. For example:

       InputStream is = ...; // get bytes for the source class
       ClassReader cr = new ClassReader(is);
       ClassWriter cw = new ClassWriter(cr, ClassWriter.COMPUTE_MAXS);
       ClassVisitor cv = new MyClassAdapter(new CheckClassAdapter(cw));
       cr.accept(cv, 0);
     
       StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
       PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
       CheckClassAdapter.verify(new ClassReader(cw.toByteArray()), false, pw);
       assertTrue(sw.toString(), sw.toString().length()==0);
     
    Above code runs transformed bytecode trough the CheckClassAdapter. It won't be exactly the same verification as JVM does, but it run data flow analysis for the code of each method and checks that expectations are met for each method instruction.

    If method bytecode has errors, assertion text will show the erroneous instruction number and dump of the failed method with information about locals and stack slot for each instruction. For example (format is - insnNumber locals : stack):

     org.objectweb.asm.tree.analysis.AnalyzerException: Error at instruction 71: Expected I, but found .
       at org.objectweb.asm.tree.analysis.Analyzer.analyze(Analyzer.java:289)
       at org.objectweb.asm.util.CheckClassAdapter.verify(CheckClassAdapter.java:135)
     ...
     remove()V
     00000 LinkedBlockingQueue$Itr . . . . . . . .  :
       ICONST_0
     00001 LinkedBlockingQueue$Itr . . . . . . . .  : I
       ISTORE 2
     00001 LinkedBlockingQueue$Itr . I . . . . . .  :
     ...
     
     00071 LinkedBlockingQueue$Itr . I . . . . . .  :
       ILOAD 1
     00072 ?
       INVOKESPECIAL java/lang/Integer.<init> (I)V
     ...
     
    In the above output you can see that variable 1 loaded by ILOAD 1 instruction at position 00071 is not initialized. You can also see that at the beginning of the method (code inserted by the transformation) variable 2 is initialized.

    Note that when used like that, CheckClassAdapter.verify() can trigger additional class loading, because it is using SimpleVerifier.

    • Constructor Detail

      • CheckClassAdapter

        public CheckClassAdapter​(ClassVisitor cv,
                                 boolean checkDataFlow)
        Constructs a new CheckClassAdapter. Subclasses must not use this constructor. Instead, they must use the CheckClassAdapter(int, ClassVisitor, boolean) version.
        Parameters:
        cv - the class visitor to which this adapter must delegate calls.
        checkDataFlow - true to perform basic data flow checks, or false to not perform any data flow check (see CheckMethodAdapter). This option requires valid maxLocals and maxStack values.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - If a subclass calls this constructor.
