      • accessToString

        public static String accessToString​(int access_flags)
        Convert bit field of flags into string such as `static final'.
        Parameters:
        access_flags - Access flags
        Returns:
        String representation of flags
      • accessToString

        public static String accessToString​(int access_flags,
                                            boolean for_class)
        Convert bit field of flags into string such as `static final'. Special case: Classes compiled with new compilers and with the `ACC_SUPER' flag would be said to be "synchronized". This is because SUN used the same value for the flags `ACC_SUPER' and `ACC_SYNCHRONIZED'.
        Parameters:
        access_flags - Access flags
        for_class - access flags are for class qualifiers ?
        Returns:
        String representation of flags

        public static String encode​(byte[] bytes,

                             throws IOException
        Encode byte array it into Java identifier string, i.e., a string that only contains the following characters: (a, ... z, A, ... Z, 0, ... 9, _, $). The encoding algorithm itself is not too clever: if the current byte's ASCII value already is a valid Java identifier part, leave it as it is. Otherwise it writes the escape character($) followed by:
        • the ASCII value as a hexadecimal string, if the value is not in the range 200..247
        • a Java identifier char not used in a lowercase hexadecimal string, if the value is in the range 200..247

        This operation inflates the original byte array by roughly 40-50%

        Parameters:
        bytes - the byte array to convert
        compress - use gzip to minimize string
        Throws:
        IOException - if there's a gzip exception

        Decode a string back to a byte array.
        Parameters:
        s - the string to convert
        uncompress - use gzip to uncompress the stream of bytes
        Throws:
        IOException - if there's a gzip exception
      • convertString
