Class ParamReader

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public class ParamReader
    extends ClassReader
    This is the class file reader for obtaining the parameter names for declared methods in a class. The class must have debugging attributes for us to obtain this information.

    This does not work for inherited methods. To obtain parameter names for inherited methods, you must use a paramReader for the class that originally declared the method.

    don't get tricky, it's the bare minimum. Instances of this class are not threadsafe -- don't share them.

        public ParamReader​(Class c)
                    throws IOException
        Processes a class file, given it's class. We'll use the defining classloader to locate the bytecode.

      • getParameterNames

        public String[] getParameterNames​(Constructor ctor)
        Returns the names of the declared parameters for the given constructor. If we cannot determine the names, return null. The returned array will have one name per parameter. The length of the array will be the same as the length of the Class[] array returned by Constructor.getParameterTypes().
        Parameters:
        ctor -
        Returns:
        Returns String[] array of names, one per parameter, or null
      • getParameterNames

        public String[] getParameterNames​(Method method)
        Returns the names of the declared parameters for the given method. If we cannot determine the names, return null. The returned array will have one name per parameter. The length of the array will be the same as the length of the Class[] array returned by Method.getParameterTypes().
        Parameters:
        method -
        Returns:
        Returns String[] array of names, one per parameter, or null
      • getParameterNames

        protected String[] getParameterNames​(Member member,
                                             Class[] paramTypes)
      • readLocalVariableTable

        public void readLocalVariableTable()
                                    throws IOException
        This is invoked when a LocalVariableTable attribute is encountered.
        Throws:
        IOException
