Re: getting type information from this code

No, all you know is what local variable slot the variable is found in. Then 
you can look in the LocalVariableTable to find the information out (assuming 
it is in the class file) [compiled with -g]

the byte code would be something like

aconst_null
astore_1

Subject: getting type information from this code


Am I correct in saying the byte code will not contain information on the 
type for line 2 in the following code


line 1: public void someMethod() {
line 2:           DummyClass c = null;
line 3:  }

Is it correct to say that the byte code will not contain info that the 
variable c is of type DummyClass?  If I am incorrect, how do I get the type 
information?
thanks,
