VerifyError (inconsistent stack height) through MethodCall#replace when block includes a
try/catch block
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JASSIST-52
URL:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-52
Project: Javassist
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: javassist 3.7.1 (from cvs HEAD), jdk 1.6.0_03 on winXP
Reporter: Yanic Inghelbrecht
Assigned To: Shigeru Chiba
Included is the simplest test case I could find that reproduces the error, it consists of
two classes : Client (to be instrumented) and Main (does the instrumentation).
When run, it produces the following exception trace :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class:
test_verify_error_with_try_catch_in_replace/Client, method: instrumentMe signature: ()V)
Inconsistent stack height 0 != 2
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredConstructors(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Class.getConstructor0(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Unknown Source)
at test_verify_error_with_try_catch_in_replace.Main.main(Main.java:30)
The error disappears in all of the following cases (so it must be related to them I
guess) :
- when the try/catch block is removed from the replacement block
- when the string concatenation happens without using two local variables
- when the string concatenation is removed but the local variables are kept
This is related (for me at least) to JIRA JAVASSIST 51, where a similar error occurred for
NewExpr (and was quickly fixed, thanks again for that!!).
Just like issue 51, it is a show stopper for our project since it all ties in with the
support for exceptions in the development tool we're creating, so I hope you will
again regard it as an urgent issue.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Yanic
