[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JASSIST-62) make $type available in insertBefore

make $type available in insertBefore ------------------------------------ Key: JASSIST-62 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-62 Project: Javassist Issue Type: Feature Request Environment: javassist 3.7.1 (latest from cvs HEAD) Reporter: Yanic Inghelbrecht Assigned To: Shigeru Chiba The tutorial explicitly mentions that $type is not available in CtMethod#insertBefore, which is why I did not file this as a bug. The problem is that it is impossible to determine the return type without support from javassist, since there can be multiple methods in the same class with the same name and parameter types but different return types (because of bridge methods to support covariant return types). The return type is to distinguish between the bridge methods and the originals. Again, this is for a tool that performs run-time analysis of execution events, so it is important it can accurately distinguish between method(calls). Currently the tool lumps together the originals and bridges for lack of information, which is incorrect. So for me this is a high priority bug / rfe. A quick response as to whether or not this request is deemed feasible would be appreciated - even if the implementation will take a while. Thanks in advance.
