    Byte code limits?

    tdrums

      Are there limits (beyond normal VM limits) on how much code can be generated for a class? In my experiments it appears that after roughly 8,200 statements within a class, the offsets in the opcode get stored wrong to where I get a ClassCastException thrown from within ConstPool.getMethodrefName(). It appears an instance of NameAndTypeInfo is being returned instead of a MethodrefInfo.

          Hello!

          I have similar problems, while instrumenting classes I get various exceptions:

          Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
           at javassist.bytecode.ConstPool.getInterfaceMethodrefClassName(ConstPool.java:413)
           at javassist.expr.MethodCall.getClassName(MethodCall.java:91)
           at javassist.expr.MethodCall.getCtClass(MethodCall.java:75)
           at javassist.expr.MethodCall.getMethod(MethodCall.java:114)


          And:

          Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: javassist.bytecode.ClassInfo
           at javassist.bytecode.ConstPool.getFieldrefClassName(ConstPool.java:254)
           at javassist.expr.FieldAccess.getClassName(FieldAccess.java:97)
           at javassist.expr.FieldAccess.getCtClass(FieldAccess.java:89)
           at javassist.expr.FieldAccess.getField(FieldAccess.java:112)


          Any idea what causes these failures?

          Regards

          Martin

              Did you adjust the cursor of your ExprEditor subclass
              after inserting or deleting some bytecodes?

              The cursor might point to a wrong byte.

              (I submitted the same comment to JIRA)

                Thanks for your fast reply. I continued the thread in JIRA. I think that is the right place in order to document the issue.
