No, that's not what I want. javap merely prints out the declarations of the
class and methods, no decode of the file contents.
kopi I can't get to run at all.
I want something that decodes and prints out the entire contents of the
.class file structure, so that I can see the variables, constants pool,
initialisation, operations performed by bytecode, etc, etc.
I'm trying to identify and then fix the difference of a single byte
between two very simple files.
My source is:
< . . .>
double x = Double.NaN;
double y = Double.longBitsToDouble(0x7ff000abacab0000L);
double z = Double.longBitsToDouble(0x8000000000000000L);
System.out.println("x =" + x);
System.out.println("y =" + y);
System.out.println("z =" + z);
<. . .>
(expected outputs: Nan, NaN, -0.0)
