Method Detail

addDefaultConstructor

public static void addDefaultConstructor(ClassFile file,
                         List<DeferredBytecode> initialValueBytecode,
                         boolean useUnsafeInstantiators)

adds a constructor that calls super()

addConstructor

public static void addConstructor(String returnType,
                  String[] params,
                  String[] exceptions,
                  ClassFile file,
                  List<DeferredBytecode> initialValueBytecode,
                  boolean useUnsafeInstantiators)

Adds a constructor that delegates to a super constructor with the same descriptor. The bytecode in initialValueBytecode will be executed at the start of the constructor and can be used to initialize fields to a default value. As the object is not properly constructed at this point this bytecode may not reference this (i.e. the variable at location 0)

Parameters:

returnType - the constructor descriptor

exceptions - any exceptions that are thrown

file - the classfile to add the constructor to

initialValueBytecode - bytecode that can be used to set initial values
