Sebb created BCEL-245:
-------------------------
Summary: Type class includes constants that reference subclasses
Key: BCEL-245
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-245
Project: Commons BCEL
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
FindBugs notes that the Type classe tries to use the ObjectType class before it
has been initialised:
{code}
public static final BasicType CHAR = new BasicType(Constants.T_CHAR);
public static final ObjectType OBJECT =
ObjectType.getInstance("java.lang.Object");
{code}
Now both BasicType and ObjectType are sub-classes of Type.
However FindBugs only complains about the ObjectType call.
Perhaps this is because it uses a static method?
The getInstance() method could be replaced with the equivalent:
{code}
public static final ObjectType OBJECT = new ObjectType("java.lang.Object");
{code}
But why does FindBugs not complain about the other references?
Surely BasicType cannot be constructed until Type has been constructed?
It's not (yet) clear what is going on here...
