Sainath created SANDBOX-500:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Need a feature to re-execute same method, i.e. GOTO:<beginning of the method>
                 Key: SANDBOX-500
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-500
             Project: Commons Sandbox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Javaflow
            Reporter: Sainath


I am trying to add new feature dropToFrame along the lines of suspend.
i.e. in case of suspend, method will return to caller by capturing the state of information. Whereas in dropToFrame I should GOTO startLabel.

So that in some condition I want to re-execute same method(I'll be storing thread state at the beginning, which I restore when I dropToFrame).

I tried to the same by making following code changes.
mv.visitLabel(startLabel); in ContinuationMethodAdapter.visitCode()
Create a variable isDropFrame in StackRecorder.
Added following code in ContinuationMethodAdapter.visitMethodInsn() as below.
             Label skipDrop = new Label();
             mv.visitVarInsn(ALOAD, stackRecorderVar);
             mv.visitJumpInsn(IFNULL, fl);
    	     mv.visitVarInsn(ALOAD, stackRecorderVar);
    	     mv.visitFieldInsn(GETFIELD, STACK_RECORDER, "isDropFrame", "Z");
    	     mv.visitJumpInsn(IFNE, fl);
    	     mv.visitJumpInsn(GOTO, startLabel);
             mv.visitLabel(skipDrop);


When I run main method I am getting following exception.

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0

	at org.objectweb.asm.Frame.merge(Frame.java:1336)

	at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(ClassReader.java:1625)
	at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(ClassReader.java:533)

Some people told me to use visitFrame() at creation of label or at GOTO statement. I tried both in different combination but still seeing the same exception.
I am struck at this from 5 days.

Could you please tell what exactly I should do to get solution to my problem.(GOTO startlabel in conditions). 
Or are there any plans to have this feature in coming releases?
