Class Synthetic

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.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​(int nameIndex,
                         int length,
                         byte[] bytes,
                         ConstantPool constantPool)
        Parameters:
        nameIndex - Index in constant pool to CONSTANT_Utf8, which should represent the string "Synthetic".
        length - Content length in bytes - should be zero.
        bytes - Attribute contents
        constantPool - The constant pool this attribute is associated with.
      • 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.
        Parameters:
        c - Source to copy.
