- Around line 385-386: The inline comment "some need some don't. what is
difference?" in MethodGen24.java is ambiguous; remove it or replace it with a
concise, specific explanation tied to the surrounding logic that removes the
first parameter type for inner-class constructors. Update the comment near the
block that says "remove first param type so consistent with other methods" (the
code handling inner-class constructors/parameter stripping) to explicitly state
when and why the first parameter is removed (e.g., "for non-static inner-class
constructors the synthetic outer-instance parameter is removed to match other
method signatures") and delete the vague sentence.

In @java/Makefile:
- Around line 733-735: The TODO comment contains an incomplete find/remove
command (the TODO line and the commented `rm -f \`find ...\`` fragment) which
should be resolved: either complete the command so it reliably removes .class
files while pruning the listed debug paths and document its behavior in the
Makefile, or remove the TODO and commented command and instead add a tracking
issue (or reference an existing one) noting the desired cleanup; update the
Makefile by deleting the unfinished TODO block or replacing it with a finalized
command and a short explanatory comment, and if you choose to track the work,
include the issue ID in the Makefile comment for future reference.

1465-1469: Good build system improvement with explicit dependency chain.

The new explicit compilation rule for SplitterFactoryTestUpdater.class and its addition as a dependency for SplitterFactoryTest.java properly captures the code generation relationship. This ensures the updater is built before being executed to generate the test file (line 1474), preventing potential build ordering issues.


770-770: Cleanup entry is consistent with other debug directory removals.

The addition of daikon/dcomp/debug/ removal in the very-clean target is consistent with the existing cleanup pattern (e.g., line 768 for chicory debug).


2133-2146: diff24 helper target is correctly implemented.

The diff24 target is properly marked as .PHONY (line 2140) and provides a useful comparison between base and Java 24+ instrumentation files. The explanatory comment (lines 2137-2139) appropriately documents why certain utility files are excluded from the diff.

Note: The checkmake warnings about missing .PHONY declarations for clean and test targets are unrelated to this change and were already present in the codebase.


24-25: Good abstraction for Java 24+ tool selection.

The dynamic tool selection using BuildJDKTool is a clean pattern that enables version-specific instrumentation while maintaining a single invocation point. Both BuildJDK and BuildJDK24 classes implement compatible main methods, allowing the conditional variable override (defaulting to BuildJDK and switching to BuildJDK24 for Java 24+) to work correctly at line 636.

java/daikon/chicory/MethodGen24.java (10)

64-108: LGTM: Field organization comments added as requested.

The comment markers clearly delineate MethodModel items (lines 64-85) and CodeAttribute items (lines 99-108), improving code readability and making it easier to understand which fields come from which source.


159-216: LGTM: MInfo24 class made public for instrumentation.

Making this class public allows instrumentation clients to access method information during instrumentation passes. The class is well-documented and its fields are appropriately encapsulated.


225-302: LGTM: Constructor properly initializes parameter metadata.

The constructor correctly initializes the new parameter-related fields by calling getParamTypes() and getParamNames(). Using Collections.emptyList() (line 252) for methods without code is appropriate and efficient.


304-349: LGTM: New constructor supports instrumentation-created methods.

This constructor properly initializes a MethodGen24 for methods created during instrumentation. The comment at line 340 clearly documents that localsTable will be populated later by fixLocals, which is the expected workflow.


396-432: LGTM: Parameter name derivation is thorough.

The method correctly derives parameter names from the local variable table, handling both static and non-static methods. It appropriately accounts for 2-slot parameters (line 427) and generates placeholder names when locals are missing (line 418). The comment at lines 405-406 appropriately notes that these values may be corrected later by fixLocals.


434-526: LGTM: fixLocals comprehensively handles local variable reconciliation.

The method properly handles all the tricky cases mentioned in the documentation:

  • Missing 'this' for non-static native methods (lines 452-458)
  • Alignment gaps for 2-slot parameters (lines 474-491)
  • Missing locals for unused parameters (lines 465-471, 492-500)
  • Resorting and synchronization (lines 508-523)

The high-level invariant comment requested in past reviews is now present (lines 435-447), clearly documenting the method's postconditions.


537-567: LGTM: New method type checks are correct.

The three new utility methods correctly identify constructors, class initializers, and standard main methods. The isMain check properly validates all required conditions: static, void return, name "main", and exactly one String array parameter.


664-672: LGTM: setOriginalLocalVariables properly clones the input.

Unlike the parameter setters, this method defensively clones the input array (line 671), preventing external mutation. This is good defensive programming.


760-767: LGTM: setInstructionList supports native method wrapping.

This setter allows instrumentation to add instructions to methods, particularly for native method wrappers as documented (line 761).


769-792: LGTM: Enhanced toString produces readable method signatures.

The implementation correctly renders a Java-like method signature, including proper handling of varargs (lines 783-785). It does assume paramTypes.length == paramNames.length (line 781), which relies on the documented preconditions of the setter methods.

51-54: LGTM! Clean conditional logic for Java 24 support.

The conditional assignment of BuildJDKTool to BuildJDK24 follows the established pattern for version-specific handling and integrates well with the existing Java version detection logic.


2130-2143: LGTM! Well-structured diff target for Java 24 variants.

The diff24 target is properly declared as .PHONY and provides a convenient way to compare the Java 24 instrumentation files with their base versions. The comment explaining excluded files is helpful for maintainers.


640-640: BuildJDK24 class is properly included in the compilation chain.

The dynamic invocation daikon.dcomp.${BuildJDKTool} is safe because BuildJDK24.java exists and is automatically compiled via the wildcard pattern in INSTRUMENTATION_JAVA_FILES on line 584. The dcomp-jdk target's dependency on dcomp_premain.jar ensures compilation completes before this command runs.

8-8: LGTM: Clean import additions and type descriptor introduction.

The new imports (ArraysPlume, Code, @InternedDistinct) are all used appropriately in the file. The introduction of type descriptor constants (CD_Object, CD_String, CD_int, CD_void, objectArrayCD) improves maintainability by eliminating repeated calls to Type.OBJECT, Type.STRING, etc., and makes the code more readable.

Also applies to: 23-23, 48-48, 92-131


248-254: LGTM: Improved error handling with conditional stack traces.

The conditional stack trace printing (based on debug_transform.enabled) is a good improvement that reduces console noise in production while still providing detailed diagnostics when debugging is enabled.

Also applies to: 316-322, 336-343


240-240: LGTM: Method renames improve code clarity.

The method renames are well-chosen and improve readability:

  • writeDebugClassFiles is more descriptive than outputDebugFiles
  • addInitNotifyCalls clarifies the purpose better than addInvokeToClinit
  • isChicoryClass is more explicit than isChicory
  • create_method_info_if_instrumented better describes the conditional nature of the operation

All call sites have been updated consistently.

Also applies to: 295-295, 410-410, 1190-1191


1268-1268: LGTM: Variable renames improve clarity.

The variable renames enhance readability:

  • exit_line_numbers is more descriptive than exit_locs
  • prev_line_number is clearer than last_line_number about being the previous value in the iteration

Also applies to: 1276-1276


658-661: LGTM: Past review comments properly addressed.

The code changes appropriately address all three past review comments:

  1. Iterator contract is now documented (lines 658-661)
  2. Assertions verify both iterators are exhausted (lines 683-685)
  3. Boolean comparison now uses idiomatic style !foundLine instead of foundLine == false (line 1302)

Also applies to: 683-685, 1302-1302


278-281: LGTM: Defensive null check improves robustness.

The null check for className is a good defensive programming practice that prevents potential NPEs. The comment explaining that this is "most likely a lambda-related class" provides useful context for future maintainers.


222-229: LGTM: More precise package matching prevents false positives.

Adding the trailing dot to package checks ("sun.reflect." and "jdk.internal.reflect.") ensures only classes within those packages are matched, preventing false positives from similarly-named packages like sun.reflective or sun.reflection.

365-395: Constant static field capture: behavior is reasonable but narrower than Instrument24

The new loop over Field instances stores final static primitive fields (BasicType) and their ConstantValue string representations into classInfo.staticMap, which is useful for the runtime without touching non‑constant fields. Note that the Instrument24 version now uses formatConstantDesc over all ConstantValueAttributes (including strings); if you intend both instrumenters to offer the same view, you may eventually want to expand this BCEL side beyond BasicType or document that it only captures primitive constants.


858-868: Javadoc and return type for get_nonce_local are now misleading

get_nonce_local’s Javadoc still says “Returns null if not present” and the return type is annotated @Nullable, but the implementation now unconditionally throws an Error if the nonce local is not found. Either update the Javadoc/annotation to reflect that it never returns null, or relax the behavior (e.g., return null and let callers decide) so the documentation remains accurate.

Suggested doc/annotation tweak
-  /**
-   * Finds the nonce local variable. Returns null if not present.
-   *
-   * @param mgen describes a method
-   * @return a local variable to save the nonce value, or null
-   */

151-195: Fix control flow in isBootClass() to preserve system class detection

The current if/else if chain means that when Chicory.boot_classes is configured, system classes that don't match the regex are NOT caught by the loader == null, loader.getParent() == null, sun.reflect, and jdk.internal.reflect checks. This changes the semantic from "extra boot classes" to "only classes matching the regex are boot classes", unexpectedly disabling built-in system class detection. Change the first block to an independent if statement and convert remaining else if checks to independent if statements so system classes are always excluded, or update the comment to document this as intentional behavior.

java/daikon/chicory/Instrument24.java (1)

381-446: Class-level instrumentation and static-constant capture are structurally sound

instrumentClass now clearly separates concerns: it instruments methods, copies non-method ClassElements unchanged, conditionally registers classInfo in SharedData, and then walks FieldModels to stash constant static field values via formatConstantDesc in classInfo.staticMap. The constant-handling code will gracefully log and fall back to an empty string on resolution failures; if you’d prefer to distinguish “no value” from “empty string”, you could special-case the error path and skip inserting those entries.

Possible tweak to avoid ambiguous empty-string entries
-      String name = fm.fieldName().stringValue();
-      String valueString = formatConstantDesc(cva.get().constant().constantValue());
-      debugInstrument.log("  Constant field: %s, valueString: %s%n", name, valueString);
-      classInfo.staticMap.put(name, valueString);
+      String name = fm.fieldName().stringValue();
+      String valueString = formatConstantDesc(cva.get().constant().constantValue());
+      debugInstrument.log("  Constant field: %s, valueString: %s%n", name, valueString);
+      if (!valueString.isEmpty()) {
+        classInfo.staticMap.put(name, valueString);
+      }

24-24: BuildJDKTool indirection looks correct and keeps 24+ logic localized

The BuildJDKTool indirection cleanly defaults to BuildJDK and switches to BuildJDK24 when JAVA_RELEASE_NUMBER >= 24, and the dyncomp‑jdk invocation uses it consistently (daikon.dcomp.${BuildJDKTool}). This keeps the version‑specific logic confined to the Java‑version detection block and the one call site.

Also applies to: 51-54, 640-640


569-571: Explicit chicory-test prerequisite is fine

Making chicory-test explicitly depend on daikon/chicory/inv_out.diff is consistent with how the rule is defined immediately below and does not change behavior.


2130-2143: diff24 helper target is well‑scoped and safe

The new diff24 section (with .PHONY and explicit Instrument/DCInstrument/BuildJDK/Chicory comparisons) is a focused developer aid and does not affect the normal build graph. Good way to keep the 24-era variants in sync.

java/daikon/chicory/Instrument.java (4)

94-131: Type-descriptor refactor improves consistency with Instrument24

The introduction of CD_Object, CD_String, CD_int, CD_void, and objectArrayCD and their consistent use throughout the file make the BCEL implementation line up with the classfile‑based Instrument24 and reduce duplication of descriptor literals. No issues here.


235-257: Centralized debug dump handling is safer under failures

writeDebugClassFiles(JavaClass c, File directory, String className) plus the updated transform error handling give you a single place to manage .class/BCEL debug output and now only print stack traces when debug_transform.enabled. On parse or instrumentation errors the transformer cleanly returns null, which is appropriate for a javaagent and avoids taking down the VM.

Also applies to: 326-357


540-607: Exit instrumentation pipeline correctly enforces the MethodInfo iterator contract

The refactored instrument_all_methods plus generate_return_instrumentation now drive return instrumentation via curMethodInfo.exit_location_is_included and curMethodInfo.exit_locations, consuming one boolean per return and one line number only when that boolean is true, followed by assertions that both iterators are exhausted. This aligns with the MethodInfo documentation and makes mismatches between method scanning and MethodInfo construction fail fast.

Also applies to: 660-688, 764-812


1192-1239: MethodInfo construction matches documented exit-location contract

create_method_info_if_instrumented constructs exit_line_numbers and isIncluded such that there is one boolean entry for every return instruction and only those exits with true get an entry in exit_line_numbers. Combined with the iterator usage and post-loop assertions in instrument_all_methods, this strictly enforces the MethodInfo.exit_locations / exit_location_is_included invariant and keeps Chicory’s behavior aligned with DynComp’s expectations.

Also applies to: 1269-1339, 660-687

java/daikon/chicory/Instrument24.java (7)

91-105: Class-level documentation for Instrument24 is clear and accurate

The revised Javadoc succinctly describes the role of Instrument24 as a ClassFileTransformer based on java.lang.classfile, and explains why the BCEL‑based Instrument is still needed for pre‑24 JDKs. No changes needed here.


232-272: Debug dump path from raw bytes is robust and failure-tolerant

The new writeDebugClassFiles(byte[], File, String) parses the transformed bytes via BCEL only for generating human‑readable dumps, falls back cleanly if parsing fails, and guards stack traces behind debug_transform.enabled. The transform method uses this helper both before and after instrumentation when Chicory.dump is enabled, but always returns null on parse/instrumentation failure rather than propagating, which is appropriate behavior for a javaagent.

Also applies to: 345-352, 369-379


531-662: Method and exit instrumentation pipeline is coherent and enforces invariants

The classfile‑based pipeline (instrument_all_methodsinstrumentMethodinstrumentCodeinstrumentInstructionListaddInstrumentationAtEntry / addInstrumentationAtExits) cleanly mirrors the BCEL version: a per‑method MInfo24 tracks locals/labels, entry instrumentation creates a nonce local and calls Runtime.enter, and addInstrumentationAtExits drives exit instrumentation from MethodInfo.exit_location_is_included and exit_locations. The post‑loop assertions on both iterators ensure any future mismatch between MethodInfo construction and bytecode scanning is detected early.

Also applies to: 758-838, 840-1000


860-951: Entry/exit code generation using MethodGen24.MInfo24 looks correct

generateIncrementNonce and callEnterOrExit correctly handle static vs instance vs constructor cases, lay out the (object, nonce, method index, parameter array[, return value, line]) stack discipline expected by the Chicory runtime, and respect multi-slot primitive types via TypeKind.slotSize(). Using MInfo24’s nonceLocal, returnLocal, and nextLocalIndex keeps the locals table and maxLocals in sync with the instrumentation.

Also applies to: 1103-1187


1363-1479: Descriptor→name helpers and MethodInfo construction are careful and match BCEL semantics

The new helpers (classDescToClassGetName, convertDescriptorToFqBinaryName, convertClassTypeDescriptorToFqBinaryName, convertTypeArgumentsToBinaryNames) cover primitives, arrays, and a subset of generic signatures and feed into getFqBinaryNameParameterTypes and create_method_info_if_instrumented. The MethodInfo creation logic (parameter names/types, inner-class constructor handling, and exit line discovery with prev_line_number and !foundLine handling) mirrors the BCEL version, so Chicory’s ppt naming and exit-location contracts stay aligned across both instrumenters.

1573-1627: Utility helpers (convertDescriptorToFqBinaryName, generics handling, formatConstantDesc) are reasonable

convertDescriptorToFqBinaryName and its helpers provide a consistent “extended binary name” format for descriptors (including arrays and a constrained subset of generics), which is appropriate for logging and ppt naming. convertTypeArgumentsToBinaryNames’s depth‑tracking approach should behave well for simple nested generics and explicitly treats a lone "*" as ?, which is a pragmatic compromise. formatConstantDesc using ConstantDesc.resolveConstantDesc is a clean way to get actual constant values, and the try/catch boundary prevents constant‑resolution problems from breaking instrumentation.

1727-1735: createLocalWithMethodScope correctly maintains locals table and maxLocals

Creating method‑scope locals via LocalVariable.of(..., minfo.startLabel, minfo.endLabel), bumping minfo.nextLocalIndex by TypeKind.from(localType).slotSize(), and updating mgen.setMaxLocals keeps the locals metadata consistent with the added instrumented locals (nonce and return value). This matches how the classfile API expects locals to be described.

In @java/daikon/chicory/Instrument24.java:
- Around line 550-554: The synchronized(this) block around MethodGen24
construction serializes instrumentation for all methods and may be a performance
bottleneck; determine if shared mutable state accessed during instrumentation
(e.g., classBuilder or any fields of Instrument24) requires that global lock,
and if not either remove the synchronized(this) or replace it with a narrower
lock (synchronize only the minimal shared-state updates) or switch to
per-class/per-method instrumenter instances (create a MethodGen24 per method and
confine mutable state to it) so that MethodGen24 mm/classBuilder usage is
thread-safe without blocking unrelated method instrumentation.

In @java/daikon/dcomp/StackMapUtils24.java:
- Line 189: Remove or properly gate the commented-out debug statement in
StackMapUtils24.java: the line "// DCInstrument24.debugInstrument.log("New
LocalVariableTable:%n%s%n", mgen.localsTable);" should either be deleted if no
longer needed, or restored behind a conditional debug flag (e.g., use an
existing debug/config check or a logger.isDebugEnabled() guard) so that debug
output for mgen.localsTable is produced only when intended and does not remain
as commented clutter.
- Around line 139-151: Add a defensive bounds check in addNewSpecialLocal before
accessing locals.get(newIndex - 1): verify that newIndex is <= locals.size() and
if not throw a DynCompError with a clear message referencing mgen.getClassName()

fixLocals() must be called first; this will prevent an IndexOutOfBoundsException
when computing lastArg and newOffset.

variable to explicitly state that it mutates mgen.localsTable in place: add a
sentence after the current description (before the @param list) saying that the
method inserts the new LocalVariable into mgen.localsTable and shifts/adjusts
subsequent entries (changing their slot numbers), so callers should expect this
side effect; keep references to MethodGen24#fixLocals and the isParam behavior
intact.

1-34: LGTM!

The class structure follows the standard utility class pattern with a private constructor to prevent instantiation. The documentation clearly explains the purpose and relationship to the original StackMapUtils from plume-lib/bcel-util.


36-48: LGTM!

Excellent documentation clarifying the terminology used throughout the class. This helps prevent confusion between 'index' (subscript into data structure) and 'offset' (slot number in stack frame).


59-99: LGTM!

The method correctly adjusts slot numbers for all instruction types that reference local variables. The use of modern Java pattern matching in the switch expression is idiomatic for Java 24, and the exception handling appropriately wraps unexpected exceptions with context.


101-138: LGTM!

The javadoc clearly documents the method's purpose, use cases, and preconditions. The initialization logic is straightforward.


153-192: The insertion and adjustment logic is correct.

The code properly:

  • Inserts the new local variable at the correct position
  • Updates maxLocals and nextLocalIndex
  • Adjusts parameter arrays when adding a parameter
  • Updates subsequent locals' slot numbers
  • Calls adjustCodeForLocalsChange to fix instruction references
java/daikon/chicory/Instrument24.java (7)

91-146: LGTM: Class structure and initialization.

The class javadoc clearly explains the purpose and Java 24+ API usage. Constructor properly initializes debug logging and output directories based on Chicory configuration.


997-999: LGTM: Iterator exhaustion checks added.

The assertions at the end of addInstrumentationAtExits properly verify that both shouldIncludeIter and exitLocationIter have been fully consumed, addressing the previous review comment about sanity checking iterator usage.


1091-1187: LGTM: Enter/exit call generation is well-structured.

The callEnterOrExit method correctly handles:

  • Static methods and constructors (pushing null for object)
  • Parameter array construction with primitive wrapping
  • Return value handling at exits
  • Line number tracking

The dependency on addInstrumentationAtEntry having created the nonce local is properly documented and enforced with @RequiresNonNull.


1753-1775: LGTM: Efficient integer constant loading.

The loadIntegerConstant method optimally selects between intrinsic constants (iconst_m1 through iconst_5), BIPUSH, SIPUSH, and LDC based on value range. This follows JVM best practices for constant loading efficiency.


416-427: Lock ordering is consistent throughout the codebase—no deadlock risk.

The sequential synchronization on SharedData.new_classes followed by SharedData.all_classes is used consistently in Instrument.java and Instrument24.java. Elsewhere, these locks are acquired individually, never in reverse order. No deadlock scenario exists.


306-309: The proxy class detection pattern is intentional but limited to JDK proxies.

The check className.contains("/$Proxy") is consistently applied across all instrument classes and correctly targets JDK's standard proxy naming convention. However, this pattern will not detect proxies created by cglib or javassist, which use different naming schemes (e.g., ClassName$$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$, ClassName_$$_javassist_). If support for such frameworks is needed in the future, additional patterns should be added.


1502-1508: Line number incrementing for synthetic exit points is sound and necessary.

The code safely generates unique line numbers for multiple return instructions when bytecode lacks line number information. Each incremented line number creates a distinct program point name via DaikonWriter.methodExitName(), ensuring no duplicate exit points. The strategy avoids conflicts with actual line numbers because incrementing only occurs when no line information is available (!foundLine), and prev_line_number prevents incrementing after legitimate line directives are encountered. Downstream consumers handle these synthetic line numbers correctly as simple program point identifiers.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider adding a defensive check before accessing the locals table.

While the javadoc states that fixLocals must be called before this routine (which should ensure locals has entries for all parameters), the access at line 149 could throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException if that precondition is violated. Adding an explicit check would make failures easier to diagnose:

if (newIndex > locals.size()) {
  throw new DynCompError(
    String.format(
      "Locals table size (%d) is insufficient for method %s.%s; expected at least %d entries. "
      + "Ensure fixLocals() was called before addNewSpecialLocal().",
      locals.size(), mgen.getClassName(), mgen.getName(), newIndex));
}

Note: This echoes a previous review comment about adding assertions for safety.

56-56: LGTM! Class correctly marked as final.

Making BuildJDK a final class is appropriate since it's a utility class with a private constructor and shouldn't be subclassed.


468-468: LGTM! Correct use of static final for immutable formatter.

DateTimeFormatter is immutable and thread-safe, so making timeFormatter a static final field is the right approach.


489-489: LGTM! Method rename aligns with updated API.

The rename from instrument_jdk() to instrument_jdk_class() is consistent with the broader instrumentation API changes in this PR.

java/daikon/dcomp/BuildJDK24.java (1)

115-207: LGTM! Main method structure is well-organized.

The main flow properly handles both explicit class file arguments and full JDK instrumentation, with appropriate error handling and progress reporting.

java/daikon/dcomp/ClassGen24.java (1)

29-93: LGTM! Well-structured class with appropriate BCEL analogy.

The class effectively mirrors BCEL's ClassGen using Java 24's java.lang.classfile APIs. Fields are properly final, and the caching of ClassModel data improves performance and aligns with BCEL's design patterns.

java/daikon/dcomp/CalcStack24.java (6)

59-67: LGTM! Well-designed utility class with clear sentinel.

The class is properly final with a private throwing constructor to prevent instantiation. The NULL_CD sentinel is clearly documented as a marker for null values on the operand stack.


85-134: LGTM! Clean CodeElement dispatch with proper Label handling.

The simulateCodeElement method correctly handles Labels by caching/validating stack states, which is essential for control flow analysis. The worklist pattern for divergent control flow is well-implemented.


148-160: LGTM! Error message now includes instruction index for debugging.

The error message improvement (adding instIndex) addresses past feedback and will make debugging easier.


714-716: LGTM! JSR/RET handling correctly removed.

Since JSR and RET have been illegal since JDK 7 (class file version 51.0), and this code targets Java 24+, falling through to the default error case is the correct approach.


922-955: LGTM! Clean helper for LoadableConstantEntry → ClassDesc mapping.

The lceToCD method correctly handles all LoadableConstantEntry variants including the critical fix for ClassEntry (returning CD_Class instead of the described class).


964-977: LGTM! Clean switch expression for primitive array element types.

The npaiToElementTypeDescriptor method uses Java's enhanced switch expression effectively, making the code concise and readable.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Critical: InputStreams become invalid after JarFile is intentionally left open.

The comment on lines 260-261 says the JarFile is intentionally not closed to keep InputStreams valid. However, this differs from BuildJDK.java which has the same pattern but also doesn't close the JarFile.

While this works, it's a resource leak. A past review suggested reading bytes into memory:

-      // Get the InputStream for this file
-      InputStream is = jfile.getInputStream(entry);
-      class_stream_map.put(entryName, is);
+      // Read the bytes into memory so we can close the JarFile
+      try (InputStream is = jfile.getInputStream(entry)) {
+        byte[] bytes = is.readAllBytes();
+        class_stream_map.put(entryName, new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));
+      }

Add import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream; if applying this fix.

533-535: LGTM! Explicit dependency improves build reliability.

Adding the dependency on daikon/Daikon.class ensures the Daikon codebase is compiled before building ChicoryPremain.jar, which prevents potential build failures.


537-539: LGTM! Test dependency chain is correct.

The updated dependency ensures ChicoryPremain.jar is built before chicory-test runs, maintaining proper build ordering.


606-606: LGTM! Dynamic tool selection enables Java 24+ support.

The use of ${BuildJDKTool} allows the build system to automatically select BuildJDK24 when running on Java 24+, fulfilling the PR's objective of adding Java 24 support.


2076-2089: LGTM! Helpful diff target for tracking Java 24 changes.

The diff24 target provides a convenient way to compare the original instrumentation files with their Java 24 counterparts, which is useful during development and maintenance. The .PHONY declaration is correctly added.

java/daikon/dcomp/BuildJDK24.java (4)

203-204: Should BuildJDK24 fail when methods are skipped?

A past reviewer asked whether the build should crash by default when methods cannot be instrumented, with an optional flag to allow skipping. Currently, it prints warnings and continues. This could mask instrumentation failures that cause runtime issues.

Consider adding a --strict flag that fails the build when skipped_methods is non-empty, or making that the default behavior with a --allow-skipped override.

As noted by a past reviewer: "Should this crash by default if there are any skipped methods, possibly with an override for use during debugging or to work around bugs?"


114-207: LGTM! Well-structured main method with clear control flow.

The main method properly:

  • Parses options using the Options framework
  • Handles both test mode (specific class files) and production mode (full JDK instrumentation)
  • Restores/saves the static-field map appropriately
  • Provides helpful output and progress information

The separation of concerns between gathering class streams and instrumenting them is clean.


507-569: LGTM! Good progress reporting and error handling.

The instrumentation flow properly:

  • Uses a correctly-declared static final DateTimeFormatter (addressing a past review)
  • Writes debug output when requested
  • Provides progress updates every 100 files with timestamps
  • Handles directory creation for output files
  • Accumulates skipped methods for later reporting

The progress display will be helpful for monitoring long-running JDK instrumentation jobs.


571-606: LGTM! Helpful error reporting distinguishes known from unknown issues.

The print_skipped_methods() implementation:

  • Clearly explains the impact of skipped methods
  • Separates known issues from new problems
  • Provides actionable guidance (report unknown issues, ignore known ones)
  • Uses appropriate error output stream

This will help users understand when they need to report problems versus when issues are already known.

🔇 Additional comments (10)
java/daikon/chicory/Instrument.java (4)

94-131: Type descriptor declarations look good.

The introduction of type descriptor constants (CD_Object, CD_String, CD_int, CD_void, objectArrayCD) improves code readability and consistency. The commented-out descriptors provide useful reference without cluttering the compiled code.


224-227: Boot class package checks are correct.

The use of trailing dots in "sun.reflect." and "jdk.internal.reflect." correctly prevents false positives from classes that merely start with those prefixes but aren't in those packages.


372-395: Constant field storage refactoring is sound.

The refactored logic for storing constant static fields handles null values correctly and only populates classInfo.staticMap with valid constant values. The intermediate variables (constantValue, valueString) improve code clarity.


242-257: Method renames and error handling improvements look good.

The renamed methods (writeDebugClassFiles, addInitNotifyCalls, isChicoryClass, create_method_info_if_instrumented) improve code clarity. The enhanced error handling with conditional stack traces (controlled by debug_transform.enabled) provides better debugging capabilities without overwhelming production logs.

Also applies to: 412-447, 1192-1341, 1369-1382

java/daikon/chicory/Instrument24.java (6)

3-8: Type descriptor imports and declarations are well-organized.

The use of static imports for type descriptors from java.lang.constant.ConstantDescs (CD_Object, CD_String, CD_int, CD_void) and access flags improves code readability. This approach is consistent with modern Java 24 classfile API usage.

Also applies to: 107-111


840-911: Instrumentation entry point insertion logic is sound.

The instrumentInstructionList method provides a clean separation between entry and exit instrumentation. The addInstrumentationAtEntry method correctly identifies the insertion point (after local variable declarations and the initial label, but before the first line number or instruction) and uses ListIterator for precise insertion. The entryLabel setup properly handles label retargeting for any instructions that originally referenced bytecode offset 0.


952-1000: Exit instrumentation with iterator contract validation is excellent.

The addInstrumentationAtExits method correctly implements the iterator contract: exactly one boolean per return instruction in shouldIncludeIter, and an integer in exitLocationIter only when that boolean is true. The assertions at lines 997-999 provide valuable runtime validation that this contract is maintained, catching any potential mismatches between create_method_info_if_instrumented and the actual code scan.


1561-1701: Descriptor conversion methods handle complex type scenarios correctly.

The convertDescriptorToFqBinaryName and related methods comprehensively handle primitives, object types, arrays, and generic type parameters. The implementation correctly:

  • Converts primitive type descriptors to their Java names (lines 1587-1622)
  • Handles array dimensions (lines 1579-1626)
  • Processes generic type arguments with proper depth tracking (lines 1674-1693)
  • Replaces '/' with '.' for proper binary name format

This custom conversion ensures consistent type name representation in the classfile-based instrumentation path.


1703-1777: Utility methods for constant handling and local variable creation are well-implemented.

The formatConstantDesc method appropriately uses MethodHandles.lookup() to resolve constant values for storage. The createLocalWithMethodScope method correctly manages local variable table updates and adjusts maxLocals to account for the new variable's slot usage. The loadIntegerConstant and buildLDCInstruction helpers optimize bytecode generation by selecting the most compact instruction form based on the value or constant pool index.


232-272: Java 24 classfile API adaptations are well-executed.

The adaptations for Java 24's classfile API demonstrate good understanding of the new API:

  • writeDebugClassFiles correctly handles byte array input and uses Files.write for output
  • The ClassElement and MethodElement copying logic uses modern switch expressions effectively
  • copyMethodToOutputUnchanged and copyMethod helpers provide clean abstractions for unchanged method copying
  • Label retargeting logic comprehensively handles all instruction types that can reference labels (branches, exception handlers, switches)

The ModifiedSwitchInfo record (line 1191) provides a clean data structure for passing switch instruction modifications.

Also applies to: 407-446, 663-699, 1190-1272

Consider consolidating type name formatting to reduce parallel implementation paths.

getFullyQualifiedParameterTypes uses Type::toString while getFqBinaryNameParameterTypes uses convertDescriptorToFqBinaryName. Both methods are annotated with @BinaryName and produce the same output format, but through different conversion approaches. The different implementations exist because Instrument.java and Instrument24.java work with different BCEL API versions. To reduce maintenance burden and the risk of format divergence, consider extracting a shared utility method for binary name conversion that works with both BCEL APIs.

so both BCEL API variants reuse identical formatting logic.

In @java/daikon/chicory/Instrument.java:
- Around line 95-131: The file Instrument contains several commented-out type
descriptor fields (e.g., CD_Class, CD_Throwable, CD_boolean, CD_byte, CD_char,
CD_double, CD_float, CD_long, CD_short) surrounding the active descriptors
CD_Object, CD_String, CD_int, CD_void, and CD_Object_array; remove the unused
commented-out declarations to clean up the class or, if any of those types are
actually required, restore them by uncommenting and using the corresponding

Makefile (1)

754-804: LGTM! Output suppression improves build experience.

The addition of @ prefixes to suppress command echoing in update targets is a good UX improvement. These changes don't affect the logic or error handling of the commands.

java/daikon/chicory/Runtime.java (3)

44-44: LGTM! Required import for new helper methods.

The InternalForm annotation import is necessary for the new conversion methods added at lines 1175-1194.


539-555: Good fix: Error messages now properly go to stderr.

Routing error messages to System.err instead of System.out follows standard conventions and makes it easier to separate error output from normal program output.


1175-1194: LGTM! Useful utility methods with proper annotations.

These conversion helpers centralize standard name format transformations. The implementations are straightforward and correctly annotated with @BinaryName and @InternalForm.

java/daikon/chicory/Instrument.java (9)

224-230: Good improvement: More precise package checks.

Adding the trailing dot to the package prefix checks (lines 224, 227) ensures that only classes actually in those packages are matched, not classes with similar prefix names.


242-257: LGTM! Better error handling in debug output.

The renamed method (writeDebugClassFiles) is clearer, and the conditional stack trace printing (lines 252-254) prevents overwhelming output when not in debug mode.


280-283: Good defensive check for null className.

Adding a null check prevents potential NPEs when processing lambda-related classes that may not have conventional class names.


318-345: Improved error handling with conditional diagnostics.

The error handling at parse time (318-324) and instrumentation time (339-345) now provides clear error messages while only printing stack traces when debug mode is enabled. This is a good balance between diagnostics and noise reduction.


373-395: Static field handling is correct but note architectural limitation.

The code correctly stores constant static field values in classInfo.staticMap. The comment at lines 373-374 acknowledges that this should ideally be a method of ClassInfo, but can't be due to compatibility requirements with both Instrument.java and Instrument24.java. This is a reasonable pragmatic choice.


1178-1181: Nice refactoring using ArraysPlume utility.

Replacing manual array processing with ArraysPlume.mapArray makes the code more concise and idiomatic.


1190-1191: Better method name reflects behavior.

Renaming to create_method_info_if_instrumented makes it clear that this method may return null if the method should not be instrumented.


1268-1277: Variable renames improve clarity.

Renaming exit_locs to exit_line_numbers (line 1268) and last_line_number to prev_line_number (line 1276) makes the code more self-documenting.


1367-1380: Better method name for clarity.

Renaming isChicory to isChicoryClass makes the method's purpose clearer and is more consistent with naming conventions.

java/daikon/dcomp/BuildJDK24.java (7)

116-208: LGTM! Main method has good structure and error handling.

The main method properly handles two modes (specific class files vs. full JDK instrumentation), uses try-with-resources for file I/O, and includes appropriate progress reporting. The separation of concerns between the two modes is clear.


210-244: Good validation logic for Java home directory.

The check_java_home method provides thorough validation with clear error messages. Exiting the JVM on validation failures is appropriate for a build tool.


256-283: Verify resource management pattern for JarFile.

The comment at lines 261-262 states that the JarFile is intentionally not closed because input streams are saved for later reading. However, this pattern is risky:

  1. The JarFile remains open for the lifetime of the application
  2. If the JVM exits abnormally, the file handle may leak
  3. The input streams may become invalid if the underlying JarFile is garbage collected

Please verify that the input streams obtained from the JarFile remain valid when used in instrument_classes(). Consider either:

  • Closing the JarFile after reading all streams (and ensuring streams are cached/buffered)
  • Using try-with-resources and reading all class bytes into memory before closing
  • Documenting the resource management contract more explicitly

357-443: Good resource management in instrument_classes.

The method properly uses try-with-resources for InputStreams at lines 394-396 and 408-410, ensuring streams from class_stream_map are closed after reading. This addresses any resource leak concerns from the gather methods.


450-507: LGTM! Interface class generation uses modern APIs.

The creation of synthetic interface classes (DCompMarker, DCompInstrumented, etc.) uses the ClassFile API appropriately. The version calculation at line 497 (BcelUtil.javaVersion + 44) correctly computes the class file major version.


524-609: Well-structured instrumentation and error reporting.

The instrumentClassFile method includes helpful progress reporting (lines 565-571), and print_skipped_methods effectively separates known issues from new problems, making it easier for users to understand what needs attention.


285-349: No action needed. InputStreams created in gather_runtime_from_modules_directory() are properly closed in instrument_classes() using try-with-resources blocks (lines 394–395 and 408–409), consistent with the jar-based approach. This pattern is intentional and handles resource cleanup correctly.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

java/daikon/dcomp/ClassGen24.java (5)

20-68: Excellent class documentation and design rationale.

The javadoc clearly explains the purpose of ClassGen24 as an adapter to make the ClassFile API more similar to BCEL's ClassGen, facilitating code sharing between DCInstrument.java and DCInstrument24.java. The caching strategy for frequently-accessed fields is well-justified.


76-94: Constructor properly initializes all fields.

The constructor correctly caches immutable data and creates a mutable copy of the interface list (line 93) to support the addInterface() method. The comment at lines 91-92 explains this design choice.


101-111: LGTM! Proper interface addition with duplicate check.

The method correctly converts names (line 102), checks for duplicates (lines 103-107), and adds the interface via the constant pool (lines 108-110).


120-128: Method lookup is correct but uses linear search.

The containsMethod implementation correctly searches for a method by name and descriptor. The linear search (O(n)) should be fine given that most classes have a small number of methods. If performance becomes an issue with large classes, consider caching or using a Map.


195-202: Superclass handling for Object is documented.

The comments at lines 177-178 and 187-189 acknowledge that returning "java.lang.Object" for Object's superclass is "probably incorrect" but maintains consistency with BCEL's behavior. This is a reasonable choice for API compatibility, though it could be a source of bugs if not carefully handled by callers.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider removing commented-out type descriptors.

The active type descriptors (CD_Object, CD_String, CD_int, CD_void, CD_Object_array) are well-defined and improve code clarity. However, the commented-out descriptors (lines 99-133) should either be removed if unused, or uncommented if needed.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Address the TODO for inst24 initialization.

The @SuppressWarnings("nullness:initialization.static.field.uninitialized") with a TODO comment suggests incomplete initialization handling. Since inst24 is initialized in main() at line 134 before use, this is currently safe, but consider documenting the initialization contract or using a different pattern to avoid the suppression.
