Also note that in the description of the class file attributes are listed
as being
Generic_Attribute {
u2 name_index
u4 length;
u1 data[length];
}
Which is correct, but in some of the specific attributes (like SourceFile)
they are listed as :
SourceFile {
u2 name -> "SourceFile"
>> u2 length -> (SHOULD be u4, is always '2')
u2 filename -> "file where it was compiled."
}
So watch out for those, and while name is described as the index
of a string in the constant pool, it is actually a constant pool
item of type CONSTANT_asciz, not CONSTANT_String.
