Verify code in javap

XMLWordPrintable

    • b26

      It would be great if javap had a 'plugin' which allowed verification of
      underlying bytecode, which could be ran in isolation. This could be an
      useful tool to diagnose verifier error in the VM and, at the same time,
      to get better output out of the verification process. Most bytecode APIs
      do have some verification tool - ASM one is called CheckClassAdapter:

      http://asm.ow2.org/asm40/javadoc/user/org/objectweb/asm/util/CheckClassAdapter.html

      while BCEL one is called Verifier:

      https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-bcel/apidocs/org/apache/bcel/verifier/Verifier.html

      The verifier could be implemented either on top of javap - or, maybe, on
      top of the new bytecode API, whichever is easier.
