Class Synthetic

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, Node

    public final class Synthetic
    extends Attribute
    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.

      • Synthetic

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

        public Synthetic​(int name_index,
                         int length,
                         byte[] bytes,
                         ConstantPool constant_pool)
        Parameters:
        name_index - Index in constant pool to CONSTANT_Utf8, which should represent the string "Synthetic".
        length - Content length in bytes - should be zero.
        bytes - Attribute contents
        constant_pool - The constant pool this attribute is associated with.

        public void accept​(Visitor v)
