             Summary: ClassFormatException: [Invalid signature: `TT;'] when 
using Utility.signatureToString
                 Key: BCEL-178
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-178
             Project: Commons BCEL
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Will N


A very similar issue to [Bug 
48279|https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48279] - 
{{Utility.signatureToString(...)}} can fail with this exception:

{noformat}
Caused by: org.apache.bcel.classfile.ClassFormatException: Invalid signature: 
`TT;'
        at org.apache.bcel.classfile.Utility.signatureToString(Utility.java:855)
        at org.apache.bcel.classfile.Utility.signatureToString(Utility.java:765)
        at 
org.apache.bcel.classfile.LocalVariable.toString(LocalVariable.java:236)
        at 
org.apache.bcel.classfile.LocalVariableTypeTable.toString(LocalVariableTypeTable.java:122)
        ... 
{noformat}

This is failing for my code which has a variable typed as {{T}} like this:
{code:java}
<T> Envelope buildRequest(Class<T> contentClass) {
    Envelope result = buildEnvelope(); // some holder type
    T body = Utils.newInstance(contentClass); // generic method returning an 
instance of contentClass
    // ... more work ...
    return result;
}
{code}

I've fixed this locally following the pattern used in  [Bug 
48279|https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48279]'s fix (see 
r897699), essentially adding the {{'T'}} option next to {{'L'}} in the 
{{Switch}} statement (see attached patch)
