Type annotations (method- and code-level) and annotation defaults were
passed through as Raw bytes with the original pool indices; the writer
rebuilds the pool, so those indices pointed at the wrong utf8 or past
the pool end. HotSpot tolerates the garbage (lazy reflection parsing),
but ASM's ClassReader dies with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException while
Paper's plugin converter reads every method - 76 of 275 LoParkour
classes failed to convert. Target_info and type_path carry no pool
references and stay opaque bytes; type descriptors and element values
are modeled and rewritten by rename like plain annotations.
Parameter annotations were unmodeled and fell through to Raw with stale
constant-pool indices after the pool rebuild. ASM (Paper converter, Fabric
mixin transformer) then failed with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in
readParameterAnnotations. Now parsed and rewritten like class-level
annotations.
Proven by paranoid runs over lorep (17 classes, fully green),
LoVisual (4081 classes) and oc2r (1278 classes) with per-class
java -Xverify:all, each fix first reproduced as a red test:
- merge: Top absorbs instead of Top-wins (javac declares Top for
slots unwritten on some inflow; precise types reject those edges).
Regression: loop_head_keeps_top_for_loop_local.
- emit: collapse [Long|Double, Top] pairs on operand stacks
(javac writes one entry; the pair is rejected). Regression:
wide_stack_join_emits_single_entries.
- xfer ArrayLoad: push the wide pair, fixing lcmp underflow.
Regression: array_load_wide_pushes_pair.
- xfer <init>: convert only the receiver's own allocation site
instead of every Uninitialized (nested construction clobbered
the outer object). Regression: nested_construction_keeps_outer.
- xfer ANewArray: array operands gain one dimension ([B] -> [[B)
instead of an illegal L-wrap ([L[B;). Covered by the same test.
- jar load: duplicate class names (multi-release module-info
twins) keep the first occurrence instead of crashing save.
Test: duplicate_class_names_keep_first.
- strings/constants: skip methods past MAX_METHOD_INSNS (8000)
so giants cannot overflow the 64KB writer ceiling. Tests:
oversized_methods_are_skipped in both passes.
- merge errors now name both types being merged.
Also: em-dash removed repo-wide (724 spots, rule added to
todo.md), allow-lints only in tests (scratch example deleted),
code comments migrated to English in every file this change
touches.
Gate ignores blank and full-line comment lines so the 250-line limit
measures code bulk, not documentation weight; docs/README.md synced.
Translate code comments to English in classfile, core config, namegen,
rename assign, constants forms. Expand Plausible word bank with
client-ecosystem terms (Module, Setting, Mixin, ...). cargo fmt clean,
check.sh green.
NestHost/NestMembers were carried as Attribute::Raw with constant-pool
indices baked in. During writing the pool is rebuilt in a different order,
so those indices pointed at the wrong entries and the JVM rejected the
class: ClassFormatError: Nest member/host class_info_index N has bad
constant type.
Model them explicitly in the IR, convert on parse and write (resolving
class names through the new pool), and remap their class names during
rename. Add a NestMembers round-trip regression test. Verified on a real
jar: all Nest ClassFormatErrors gone.
