[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JASSIST-135) Inconsistent interpretation of $0

Inconsistent interpretation of $0 --------------------------------- Key: JASSIST-135 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JASSIST-135 Project: Javassist Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.13.0.GA Reporter: Thomas Mauch Assignee: Shigeru Chiba The interpretation of the variable $0 if a static method is involved is inconsistent in my opinion: Section "4.1 Inserting source text at the beginning/end of a method body" states: "If the method is static, $0 is not available." So you will get "javassist.CannotCompileException: [source error] no such field: $0" if try to use $0 for a static method. This forces you to use if/then/else and to write two source code statements if you need to process instance and static methods in a uniform way. But there is also a more relaxed interpretation of $0 which makes life easier: Section "4.2 Altering a method body" states: "$0 is null if the method is static.". So I would prefer to have $0 always available with a value of null if a static method is involved. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
