It was said that when I use +
operator to concat String
it later transforms into StringBuilder.append
but when I ran Java Decompiler GUI and opened MainClass.class
there was
public class MainClass
{
public static void main(String[] paramArrayOfString)
{
String str1 = "abc";
String str2 = "def";
String str3 = str1 + str2;
}
}
when the original was
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String val1 = "abc";
String val2 = "def";
String res = val1 + val2;
}
}
What is wrong?
I compiled it using javac MainClass.java
Most decompilers will automatically transform the compiler generated StringBuilder
sequences back into string concatenation with +
.
One of the few that doesn't is Krakatau. If you decompile the class with Krakatau, you'll get something like
public class MainClass {
public MainClass()
{
super();
}
public static void main(String[] a)
{
new StringBuilder().append("abc").append("def").toString();
}
}
So as you can see, the StringBuilder
code is there. You can also look at the disassembly to be sure.
