Unexpected InternalName format on Enum classes

Hi all,

I'm one of the developers of the open source Sonar quality platform (
www.sonarsource.org) and we use ASM to generate some O.O. metrics and
understand the global architecture of a project.

I'm currently facing a little issue when analyzing java enumerations (see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONAR-1638). Indeed, the bytecode contains
some use of INVOKEVIRTUAL instruction with an unexpected format (at least
for me) :

INVOKEVIRTUAL [LspecialCases/ClassWithEnum$MyEnum;.clone ()Ljava/lang/Object;


In that case, I expect to get :

INVOKEVIRTUAL specialCases/ClassWithEnum$MyEnum.clone ()Ljava/lang/Object


Indeed, when my implementation of the VisitMethod interface is called back
on the method visitMethodInsn(int opcode, String owner, String name, String
desc);
and in that case the argument "owner" equals to
"[LspecialCases/ClassWithEnum$MyEnum;" where I expect to get the internal
name "specialCases/ClassWithEnum$MyEnum"

Does it means that I need to always check the format of the "owner" argument
before doing anything ?

Thanks for your help,
Freddy
