Windup Procyon Decompiler Reflection

FORKED from: https://bitbucket.org/mstrobel/procyon

Procyon is a suite of Java metaprogramming tools focused on code generation and analysis. It includes the following libraries:

1. Core Framework
2. Reflection Framework
3. Expressions Framework
4. Compiler Toolset (Experimental)
5. Java Decompiler

The Procyon libraries are available from Maven Central under group ID org.bitbucket.mstrobel.

Core Framework

The procyon-core framework contains common support classes used by the other Procyon APIs. Its facilities include string manipulation, collection extensions, filesystem/path utilities, freezable objects and collections, attached data stores, and some runtime type helpers.

Reflection Framework

The procyon-reflection framework provides a rich reflection and code generation API with full support for generics, wildcards, and other high-level Java type concepts. It is based on .NET's System.Reflection and System.Reflection.Emit APIs and is meant to address many of the shortcomings of the core Java reflection API, which offers rather limited and cumbersome support for generic type inspection. Its code generation facilities include a TypeBuilder, MethodBuilder, and a bytecode emitter.

For more information, see the Reflection Framework topic.

Example

:::java
final Type<Map> map = Type.of(Map.class);
final Type<?> rawMap = map.getErasedType();
final Type<Map<String, Integer>> boundMap = map.makeGenericType(Types.String, Types.Integer);

System.out.println(map.getDeclaredMethods().get(1));
System.out.println(rawMap.getDeclaredMethods().get(1));
System.out.println(boundMap.getDeclaredMethods().get(1));

System.out.println(boundMap.getGenericTypeParameters());
System.out.println(boundMap.getTypeArguments());

Output

:::text
public abstract V put(K, V)
public abstract Object put(Object, Object)
public abstract Integer put(String, Integer)
[K, V]
[java.lang.String, java.lang.Integer]

Expressions Framework

The procyon-expressions framework provides a more natural form of code generation. Rather than requiring bytecode to be emitted directly, as with procyon-reflection and other popular libraries like ASM, procyon-expressions enables code composition using declarative expression trees. These expression trees may then be compiled directly into callbacks or coupled with a MethodBuilder. The procyon-expressions API is almost a direct port of System.Linq.Expressions from .NET's Dynamic Language Runtime, minus the dynamic callsite support (and with more relaxed rules regarding type conversions).

Example

:::java    
//
// This lambda closes over a complex constant (a String array).
//

final ConstantExpression items = constant(
    new String[] { "one", "two", "three", "four", "five" }
);

//
// If written in Java, the constructed expression would look something like this:
// 
// () -> {
//     for (String item : <closure>items)
//         System.out.printf("Got item: %s\n", item);
// }
//

final ParameterExpression item = variable(Types.String, "item");

final LambdaExpression<Runnable> runnable = lambda(
    Type.of(Runnable.class),
    forEach(
        item,
        items,
        call(
            field(null, Types.System.getField("out")),
            "printf",
            constant("Got item: %s\n"),
            item
        )
    )
);

System.out.println(runnable);

final Runnable delegate = runnable.compile();

delegate.run();

Output

:::text
() => for (String item : [one, two, three, four, five])
    System.out.printf("Got item: %s\n", new Object[] { item })

Got item: one
Got item: two
Got item: three
Got item: four
Got item: five

Compiler Toolset

The procyon-compilertools project is a work in progress that includes:

1. Class metadata and bytecode inspection/manipulation facilities based on Mono.Cecil
2. An optimization and decompiler framework based on ILSpy

The Compiler Toolset is still early in development and subject to change.

Decompiler Front-End

procyon-decompiler is a standalone front-end for the Java decompiler included in procyon-compilertools. All dependencies are embedded in the JAR for easy redistribution. For more information about the decompiler, see the Java Decompiler wiki page.
