A ClassVisitor that prints the ASM code that generates the classes it visits. This class visitor can be used to quickly write ASM code to generate some given bytecode:
  • write the Java source code equivalent to the bytecode you want to generate;
  • compile it with javac;
  • make a ASMifierClassVisitor visit this compiled class (see the main method);
  • edit the generated source code, if necessary.
The source code printed when visiting the Hello class is the following:

import org.objectweb.asm.*;
public class HelloDump implements Opcodes {
    public static byte[] dump() throws Exception {
        ClassWriter cw = new ClassWriter(0);
        FieldVisitor fv;
        MethodVisitor mv;
        AnnotationVisitor av0;
        cw.visit(49,
                ACC_PUBLIC + ACC_SUPER,
                "Hello",
                null,
                "java/lang/Object",
                null);
        cw.visitSource("Hello.java", null);
        {
            mv = cw.visitMethod(ACC_PUBLIC, "<init>", "()V", null, null);
            mv.visitVarInsn(ALOAD, 0);

                    null,
                    null);
            mv.visitFieldInsn(GETSTATIC,

                    "out",

                    "(Ljava/lang/String;)V");
            mv.visitInsn(RETURN);
            mv.visitMaxs(2, 1);
            mv.visitEnd();
        }
        cw.visitEnd();
        return cw.toByteArray();
    }
}
where Hello is defined by:

public class Hello {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hello");
    }
