---------------------------------
Summary: InovokeStatic may refer to either a MethodRef or an
InterfaceMethodRef
Key: BCEL-333
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-333
Project: Commons BCEL
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Mark Roberts
Java 8 added support for static interfaces. This means that an invokestatic
instruction may refer to either a CONSTANT_Methodref_info or a
CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodref_info. See
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34360718/invokestatic-on-static-method-in-interface]
for a detailed explanation. Currently, if InstructionFactory.createInvoke
sees an Const.INVOKEINTERFACE it generates an InterfaceMethodref and a
Methodref otherwise. This is incorrect. I could not figure out any way to
make the correct decision programmatically as the original instruction is not
available. So I added an additional createInvoke method with a boolean
argument that says whether or not to use an InterfaceMethodref. The semantics
of the original createInvoke method are unchanged.
