BinaryDoc - Binary code is the Best Document

Java method could be tagged with bridge ( ACC_BRIDGE ) in the .class file, denotes this method is generated by Java Compiler for type erasure purpose of Java Generics . Code is the best document, so let's check the code of java.util.ArrayDeque as an example for the details. In the source code of ArrayDeque , there is only one (1) clone() method defined, as bellow: public ArrayDeque<E> clone() { try { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") ArrayDeque<E> result = (ArrayDeque<E>) super.clone(); result.elements = Arrays.copyOf(elements, elements.length); return result; } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) { throw new AssertionError(); } } Well in the generated the .class file for ArrayDeque , there are two (2) clone() methods, as the generated UML diagram from the ArrayDeque.class file shown: UML Diagram of ArrayDeque.class Here are the details of...
