java-synthetic-methods

I've made some new warning settings in eclipse. With these new settings I'm facing a strange warning. After reading I got to know what it is but couldn't find a way to remove it. Here is my problem with the sample code public class Test { private String testString; public void performAction() { new Thread( new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { testString = "initialize"; // ** } }); } } The line with * * gives me a warning in eclipse Read access to enclosing field Test.testString is emulated by a synthetic accessor method. Increasing its visibility will improve your performance.

In Kotlin, when I have a non-public member and an inline fun that calls it, there's a compilation error saying: Error:(22, 25) Kotlin: Public-API inline function cannot access non-public-API private fun f(): Unit defined in com.example I found several ways to call my function inside a public inline fun , but which is the best way to do it? Suppose I have a private fun f() { } . Then the options I found are: fun f() { } Just make it public. This is the baseline solution, but if the others turn out to have major disadvantages, this can end up the best one. @PublishedApi internal fun f() { }

I am looking at some disassembled code obtained from Java bytecode. I see some declaration as follows: .method static synthetic access$0()Lcom/package/Sample; I am not able to figure out what the synthetic or access$0 mean. Can someone please help me understand this part? Johan Sjöberg Synthetic field , (2) A compiler-created field that links a local inner class to a block's local variable or reference type parameter. See also The JavaTM Virtual Machine Specification (§4.7.6) or Synthetic Class in Java . In the java language, inner classes can access private members of their enclosing class.

My coworker suggested making several of the Eclipse code-formatting and warning settings to be more rigorous. The majority of these changes make sense, but I get this one weird warning in Java. Here's some test code to reproduce the "problem": package com.example.bugs; public class WeirdInnerClassJavaWarning { private static class InnerClass { public void doSomething() {} } final private InnerClass anInstance; { this.anInstance = new InnerClass(); // !!! this.anInstance.doSomething(); } } // using "this.anInstance" instead of "anInstance" prevents another warning, // Unqualified access to the

While developing a Java application under Eclipse I got the warning about "method/value accessed via a synthetic method". The solution was simply changing a private access modifier to a default level. That left me wondering: what's the penalty on using a synthetic method? There is some? I assume so as the compiler/Eclipse raises the warning, but it's something so relevant or something that could be safely ignored? I've not seen this information around here, so I'm asking. McDowell Eclipse is warning you that you may be exposing information you think is private. Synthetic accessors can be
