Class Inheritance
Imports
java.io.DataInput, .DataOutputStream, .IOException, org.apache.bcel.Const, org.apache.bcel.util.Args
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.

Syntheticback to summary
public Synthetic(final int nameIndex, final int length, final byte[] bytes, final ConstantPool constantPool)
Parameters
nameIndex:int

Index in constant pool to CONSTANT_Utf8, which should represent the string "Synthetic".

length:int

Content length in bytes - should be zero.

bytes:byte[]

Attribute contents

constantPool:ConstantPool

The constant pool this attribute is associated with.

Syntheticback to summary
pack-priv Synthetic(final int nameIndex, final int length, final DataInput input, final ConstantPool constantPool) throws IOException

Constructs object from input stream.

Parameters
nameIndex:int

Index in constant pool to CONSTANT_Utf8

length:int

Content length in bytes

input:DataInput

Input stream

constantPool:ConstantPool

Array of constants

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
Syntheticback to summary
public Synthetic(final Synthetic c)

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

Parameters
c:Synthetic

Source to copy.

Method Detail

acceptback to summary
public void accept(final Visitor v)

Implements abstract org.apache.bcel.classfile.Attribute.accept.

Implements org.apache.bcel.classfile.Node.accept.

Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitly defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
