[jira] [Commented] (BCEL-285) "ClassFormatException: Invalid signature" thrown on generics

["Mark Roberts (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15883584#comment-15883584 ] 

Mark Roberts commented on BCEL-285:
-----------------------------------

This does look like an invalid signature to me.  The error message does not show the entire signature, just the part it could not parse. The "\!" should not be there.  The remainder of the signature (after the \!) looks correct and corresponds to "extends Object"  the "?" should have been compiled into a "\*" in the signature.  Perhaps this is a bug in the compiler you mention that it is using "\!" instead of "\*"?

>             Project: Commons BCEL
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Parser
>    Affects Versions: 6.0
>         Environment: java 8, macOS 10.12.2

> The following stripped down example throws an Exception in {{BCEL}}:
> {code:title=Bar.java|borderStyle=solid}
> import java.io.IOException;
> import java.util.stream.Stream;
> import org.apache.bcel.classfile.ClassParser;
> public class Main {
>   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
>     ClassParser parser = new ClassParser(Main.class.getResourceAsStream("Main.class"), "Main.class");
>     parser.parse().getMethods()[2].getCode().toString(); /* <- EXCEPTION thrown */
> 		
>     ((Stream<? extends Object>)null).peek(x -> {}); /* <- problem spot */
>   }
> }
> {code}
> The exception is:
> {code}
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.bcel.classfile.ClassFormatException: Invalid signature: `!+Ljava/lang/Object;'
> 	at org.apache.bcel.classfile.Utility.signatureToString(Utility.java:930)

> 	at Main.main(Main.java:9)
> {code}
> This problem only occurs in eclipse (I am using NEON.2) and does not occur in Intellij (I am using 2016.3.2). This probably indicates that {{ecj}} and {{javac}} differ in their class code generator.
> Since our project uses {{sonar:findbugs}} which uses {{BCEL}} this is a major problem for us.
