Fields Summary
private Verifier
myOwner
The Verifier that created this.
private int
method_no
The method number to verify. This is the index in the array returned by JavaClass.getMethods().
InstructionList
instructionList
The one and only InstructionList object used by an instance of this class. It's here for performance reasons by do_verify() and its callees.
Code
code
The one and only Code object used by an instance of this class. It's here for performance reasons by do_verify() and its callees.
Constructors Summary
public Pass3aVerifier(Verifier owner, int method_no)
Should only be instantiated by a Verifier.

		myOwner = owner;
		this.method_no = method_no;
	
Methods Summary
private static booleancontains(int[] ints, int i)
A small utility method returning if a given int i is in the given int[] ints.

		for (int j=0; j<ints.length; j++){
			if (ints[j]==i) return true;
		}
		return false;
	
private voiddelayedPass2Checks()
These are the checks that could be done in pass 2 but are delayed to pass 3 for performance reasons. Also, these checks need access to the code array of the Code attribute of a Method so it's okay to perform them here. Also see the description of the do_verify() method.

throws
ClassConstraintException if the verification fails.

public VerificationResultdo_verify()
Pass 3a is the verification of static constraints of JVM code (such as legal targets of branch instructions). This is the part of pass 3 where you do not need data flow analysis. JustIce also delays the checks for a correct exception table of a Code attribute and correct line number entries in a LineNumberTable attribute of a Code attribute (which conceptually belong to pass 2) to this pass. Also, most of the check for valid local variable entries in a LocalVariableTable attribute of a Code attribute is delayed until this pass. All these checks need access to the code array of the Code attribute.

throws
InvalidMethodException if the method to verify does not exist.

private voidpass3StaticInstructionChecks()
These are the checks if constraints are satisfied which are described in the Java Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition as Static Constraints on the instructions of Java Virtual Machine Code (chapter 4.8.1).

private voidpass3StaticInstructionOperandsChecks()
These are the checks for the satisfaction of constraints which are described in the Java Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition as Static Constraints on the operands of instructions of Java Virtual Machine Code (chapter 4.8.1). BCEL parses the code array to create an InstructionList and therefore has to check some of these constraints. Additional checks are also implemented here.

throws
StaticCodeConstraintException if the verification fails.

		// mentioned in The Java Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition, as
		// "static constraints on the operands of instructions in the code array".

		//       byte array first to give more comprehensive messages.
