java.lang.VerifyError: Stack size too large

Hi Erik,

If i call MethodGen#getMaxStack() before and after
instrumenting the
method both values are the same.
If i call MethodGen#setMaxStack() i get following Exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

org.apache.bcel.generic.FieldOrMethod.getSignature(FieldOrMe

I post my two test classes - Sample.class is insrumented by
class
BCELRewriter:


package test;

public class Sample
{
    protected int protectedField;   
    
    Sample()
    {
        protectedField++;
    }
}



package test;

import org.apache.bcel.*;
import org.apache.bcel.classfile.*;
import org.apache.bcel.generic.*;

public class BCELRewriter
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    throws Exception
    {
        JavaClass clazz = Repository.lookupClass(
"test.Sample" );
        ConstantPoolGen cp = new ConstantPoolGen(
clazz.getConstantPool() );
        ClassGen cg = new ClassGen( clazz );
        InstructionFactory instrFactory = new
InstructionFactory( cg );
        
        Method[] methods = clazz.getMethods();
        
        for( int i=0; i < methods.length; i++ )
        {
            
            MethodGen mg = new MethodGen(methods[i],
cg.getClassName(),
cp);
            InstructionList instrList =
mg.getInstructionList();
            Instruction preReturnInstr =
instrList.getEnd().getPrev().getInstruction();
            
            System.out.println( "MaxStackSize before:
" +
mg.getMaxStack() );
            System.out.println( mg.getInstructionList() );
            
            instrList.append(preReturnInstr,
buildStaticInvoke(instrFactory) );
            
            System.out.println( "MaxStackSize after:
" +
mg.getMaxStack() );
            System.out.println( mg.getInstructionList() );
            
            mg.setMaxStack();
            
            methods[i] = mg.getMethod();
        }
        
        cg.setMethods( methods );
        cg.getJavaClass().dump(
"C:\\test\\Sample.class" );
    }

    
    private static InstructionList
buildStaticInvoke(InstructionFactory
instrFactory)
    {
        InstructionList il = new InstructionList();
        
        InvokeInstruction invokeLog =
instrFactory.createInvoke(
                        "test.Logger",
                        "log",
                        Type.VOID,
                        new Type[] { Type.STRING,
Type.STRING,
Type.STRING, Type.STRING },
                        Constants.INVOKESTATIC);
        
        ConstantPoolGen constPoolGen =
instrFactory.getConstantPool();
        il.append(new PUSH(constPoolGen,
"arg1"));
        il.append(new PUSH(constPoolGen,
"arg2"));
        il.append(new PUSH(constPoolGen,
"arg3"));
        il.append(new PUSH(constPoolGen,
"arg4"));
        il.append( invokeLog );
        
        return il;
    }
}

When running "java test.Sample" i get following
error:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: test/Sample, method:
<init> signature:
()V) Stack size too large
Exception in thread "main" 

If you only use three arguments everything works fine...?!

Kind Regards,
Patrick
