creating object instance without invoking initiali

问题:

I'm trying to generate bytecode wich will create object instance without code initialization logic. Actually I want to reproduce generateSerializationConstructor behavior.

    {
        mv = cw.visitMethod(ACC_PUBLIC, "newObjectInstance", "()Ljava/lang/Object;", null, null);
        mv.visitCode();
        mv.visitTypeInsn(NEW, classNameInternal);
        mv.visitInsn(DUP);
        classNameInternal = "java/lang/Object";
        mv.visitMethodInsn(INVOKESPECIAL, classNameInternal, "<init>", "()V");
        mv.visitInsn(ARETURN);
        mv.visitMaxs(0, 0);
        mv.visitEnd();
    }

unfortunally I got such error:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/esotericsoftware/reflectasm/benchmark/ConstructorAccessBenchmark$SomeClass_ClassAccess_, method: newObjectInstance signature: ()Ljava/lang/Object;) Call to wrong initialization method

回答1:

JVM specification prohibits creation of objects without calling proper constructor. However, there are two tricky ways of doing this. Both of them are specific to OpenJDK / Oracle JDK and are not guaranteed to work on all Java implementations.

1. Call sun.misc.Unsafe.allocateInstance() internal API to instantiate a class without calling a constructor.
2. When generating a class in run-time, inherit your class from sun.reflect.MagicAccessorImpl. JVM will skip bytecode verification for such class thus allowing to have NEW bytecode without proper INVOKESPECIAL.

Both techniques are used in our custom serialization engine which can be found at https://github.com/odnoklassniki/one-nio/blob/master/src/one/nio/serial/
