<h2>Usage</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run ProGuard, just type:
|
|
|
|
<p class="code">
|
|
|
|
<code><b>java -jar proguard.jar </b></code><i>options</i> ...
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
You can find the ProGuard jar in the <code>lib</code> directory of the
|
|
|
|
ProGuard distribution. Alternatively, the <code>bin</code> directory contains
|
|
|
|
some short Linux and Windows scripts containing this command. Typically, you'll
|
|
|
|
put most options in a configuration file (say, <code>myconfig.pro</code>), and
|
|
|
|
just call:
|
|
|
|
<p class="code">
|
|
|
|
<code><b>java -jar proguard.jar @myconfig.pro</b></code>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
You can combine command line options and options from configuration files. For
|
|
|
|
instance:
|
|
|
|
<p class="code">
|
|
|
|
<code><b>java -jar proguard.jar @myconfig.pro -verbose</b></code>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
You can add comments in a configuration file, starting with a
|
|
|
|
<code><b>#</b></code> character and continuing until the end of the line.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Extra whitespace between words and delimiters is ignored. File names with
|
|
|
|
spaces or special characters should be quoted with single or double quotes.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Options can be grouped arbitrarily in arguments on the command line and in
|
|
|
|
lines in configuration files. This means that you can quote arbitrary sections
|
|
|
|
of command line options, to avoid shell expansion of special characters, for
|
|
|
|
instance.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The order of the options is generally irrelevant. For quick experiments, you
|
|
|
|
can abbreviate them to their first unique characters.

<dd>Specifies the input jars (or aars, wars, ears, zips, apks, or directories)

of the application to be processed. The class files in these jars will be
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
processed and written to the output jars. By default, any non-class files
|
|
|
|
will be copied without changes. Please be aware of any temporary files
|
|
|
|
(e.g. created by IDEs), especially if you are reading your input files
|
|
|
|
straight from directories. The entries in the class path can be filtered,
|
|
|
|
as explained in the <a href="#filefilters">filters</a> section. For better
|
|
|
|
readability, class path entries can be specified using multiple

<dd>Specifies the names of the output jars (or aars, wars, ears, zips, apks,

|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00

options will be written to the named jars. This allows you to collect the

contents of groups of input jars into corresponding groups of output jars.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the output entries can be filtered, as explained in
|
|
|
|
the <a href="#filefilters">filters</a> section. Each processed class file
|
|
|
|
or resource file is then written to the first output entry with a matching
|
|
|
|
filter, within the group of output jars.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
You must avoid letting the output files overwrite any input files. For
|
|
|
|
better readability, class path entries can be specified using multiple
|
|
|
|
<code>-outjars</code> options. Without any <code>-outjars</code> options,
|
|

no jars will be written.</dd>

<dd>Specifies the library jars (or aars, wars, ears, zips, apks, or
|
|
|
|
directories) of the application to be processed. The files in these jars
|
|
|
|
will not be included in the output jars. The specified library jars should
|
|
|
|
at least contain the class files that are <i>extended</i> by application
|
|
|
|
class files. Library class files that are only <i>called</i> needn't be
|
|
|
|
present, although their presence can improve the results of the
|
|
|
|
optimization step. The entries in the class path can be filtered, as
|
|
|
|
explained in the <a href="#filefilters">filters</a> section. For better
|
|
|
|
readability, class path entries can be specified using
|
|
|
|
multiple <code>-libraryjars</code> options.

2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Please note that the boot path and the class path set for running ProGuard
|
|
|
|
are not considered when looking for library classes. This means that you
|
|
|
|
explicitly have to specify the run-time jar that your code will use.
|
|
|
|
Although this may seem cumbersome, it allows you to process applications
|
|
|
|
targeted at different run-time environments. For example, you can process
|
|
|
|
<a href="examples.html#application">J2SE applications</a> as well as <a
|
|
|
|
href="examples.html#midlet">JME midlets</a> or <a
|
|
|
|
href="examples.html#androidapplication">Android apps</a>, just by
|
|
|
|
specifying the appropriate run-time jar.</dd>

|
|
<dt><a name="skipnonpubliclibraryclasses"><code><b>-skipnonpubliclibraryclasses</b></code></a></dt>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>Specifies to skip non-public classes while reading library jars, to speed
|
|
|
|
up processing and reduce memory usage of ProGuard. By default, ProGuard
|
|
|
|
reads non-public and public library classes alike. However, non-public
|
|
|
|
classes are often not relevant, if they don't affect the actual program
|
|
|
|
code in the input jars. Ignoring them then speeds up ProGuard, without
|
|
|
|
affecting the output. Unfortunately, some libraries, including recent JSE
|
|
|
|
run-time libraries, contain non-public library classes that are extended
|
|
|
|
by public library classes. You then can't use this option. ProGuard will
|
|
|
|
print out warnings if it can't find classes due to this option being
|
|
|
|
set.</dd>

<dt><a name="dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses"><code><b>-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses</b></code></a></dt>
|
|

<dd>Specifies not to ignore non-public library classes. As of version 4.5, this

|
is the default setting.</dd>

<dt><a name="dontskipnonpubliclibraryclassmembers"><code><b>-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclassmembers</b></code></a></dt>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
<dd>Specifies not to ignore package visible library class members (fields and
|
|
|
|
methods). By default, ProGuard skips these class members while parsing
|
|
|
|
library classes, as program classes will generally not refer to them.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes however, program classes reside in the same packages as library
|
|
|
|
classes, and they do refer to their package visible class members. In
|
|
|
|
those cases, it can be useful to actually read the class members, in order
|
|
|
|
to make sure the processed code remains consistent.</dd>

2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
<dd>Specifies the directories to be kept in the output jars (or aars, wars,
|
|
|
|
ears, zips, apks, or directories). By default, directory entries are
|
|
|
|
removed. This reduces the jar size, but it may break your program if the
|
|
|
|
code tries to find them with constructs like
|
|
|
|
"<code>mypackage.MyClass.class.getResource("")</code>". You'll then want
|
|
|
|
to keep the directory corresponding to the package,
|
|
|
|
"<code>-keepdirectories mypackage</code>". If the option is specified
|
|
|
|
without a filter, all directories are kept. With a filter, only matching
|
2014-08-20 00:11:08 +04:00
|
|
|
directories are kept. For instance,
|
|
|
|
"<code>-keepdirectories mydirectory</code>" matches the specified
|
|
|
|
directory, "<code>-keepdirectories mydirectory/*</code>" matches its
|
|
|
|
immediate subdirectories, and
|
|
|
|
"<code>-keepdirectories mydirectory/**</code>" matches all of its
|
|
|

subdirectories.</dd>

<code>1.2</code>, <code>1.3</code>, <code>1.4</code>, <code>1.5</code> (or

just <code>8</code>). By default, the version numbers of the class files
|
|
|

are left unchanged. For example, you may want to

shouldn't downgrade the version numbers of class files, since the code

<dd>Specifies to assign the same obfuscated names to class members that have
|
|
|
|
the same names, and different obfuscated names to class members that have
|
|
|
|
different names (for each given class member signature). Without the
|
|
|
|
option, more class members can be mapped to the same short names like 'a',
|
|
|
|
'b', etc. The option therefore increases the size of the resulting code
|
|
|
|
slightly, but it ensures that the saved obfuscation name mapping can
|
|
|
|
always be respected in subsequent incremental obfuscation steps.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For instance, consider two distinct interfaces containing methods with the
|
|
|
|
same name and signature. Without this option, these methods may get
|
|
|
|
different obfuscated names in a first obfuscation step. If a patch is then
|
|
|
|
added containing a class that implements both interfaces, ProGuard will
|
|
|
|
have to enforce the same method name for both methods in an incremental
|
|
|
|
obfuscation step. The original obfuscated code is changed, in order to
|
|
|
|
keep the resulting code consistent. With this option <i>in the initial

|

|
obfuscation step</i>, such renaming will never be necessary.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
This option is only applicable when obfuscating. In fact, if you are
|
|
|
|
planning on performing incremental obfuscation, you probably want to avoid
|

shrinking and optimization altogether, since these steps could remove or

<h2><a name="classpath">Class Paths</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ProGuard accepts a generalization of class paths to specify input files and
|
|
|
|
output files. A class path consists of entries, separated by the traditional
|
|
|
|
path separator (e.g. '<b>:</b>' on Unix, or '<b>;</b>' on Windows platforms).
|
|
|
|
The order of the entries determines their priorities, in case of duplicates.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Each input entry can be:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>A class file or resource file,</li>
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>An apk file, containing any of the above,</li>
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>A jar file, containing any of the above,</li>
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>An aar file, containing any of the above,</li>
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>A war file, containing any of the above,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>An ear file, containing any of the above,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A zip file, containing any of the above,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A directory (structure), containing any of the above.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The paths of directly specified class files and resource files is ignored, so
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
class files should generally be part of a jar file, an aar file, a war file,
|
|
|
|
an ear file, a zip file, or a directory. In addition, the paths of class files
|
|
|
|
should not have any additional directory prefixes inside the archives or
|
|
|
|
directories.
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Each output entry can be:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>An apk file, in which all class files and resource files will be
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
collected.</li>
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>A jar file, in which any and all of the above will be collected,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>An aar file, in which any and all of the above will be collected,</li>
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
<li>A war file, in which any and all of the above will be collected,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>An ear file, in which any and all of the above will be collected,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A zip file, in which any and all of the above will be collected,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A directory, in which any and all of the above will be collected.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
When writing output entries, ProGuard will generally package the results in a
|
|
|
|
sensible way, reconstructing the input entries as much as required. Writing
|
|
|
|
everything to an output directory is the most straightforward option: the
|
|
|
|
output directory will contain a complete reconstruction of the input entries.
|
|
|
|
The packaging can be almost arbitrarily complex though: you could process an
|
|
|
|
entire application, packaged in a zip file along with its documentation,
|
|
|
|
writing it out as a zip file again. The Examples section shows a few ways
|
|
|
|
to <a href="examples.html#restructuring">restructure output archives</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Files and directories can be specified as discussed in the section on <a
|
|
|
|
href="#filename">file names</a> below.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
In addition, ProGuard provides the possibility to filter the class path
|
|
|
|
entries and their contents, based on their full relative file names. Each
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
class path entry can be followed by up to 7 types of <a
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
href="#filefilters">file filters</a> between parentheses, separated by
|

|
|
semi-colons:

|
|
|
<li>A filter for all aar names that are encountered,</li>

<li>A filter for all apk names that are encountered,</li>
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00

<li>A filter for all zip names that are encountered,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A filter for all ear names that are encountered,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A filter for all war names that are encountered,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A filter for all jar names that are encountered,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A filter for all class file names and resource file names that are
|
|
|
|
encountered.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
If fewer than 7 filters are specified, they are assumed to be the latter
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
filters. Any empty filters are ignored. More formally, a filtered class path
|
|
|
|
entry looks like this:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
<i>classpathentry</i><b>(</b>[[[[[[<i>aarfilter</i><b>;</b>]<i>apkfilter</i><b>;</b>]<i>zipfilter</i><b>;</b>]<i>earfilter</i><b>;</b>]<i>warfilter</i><b>;</b>]<i>jarfilter</i><b>;</b>]<i>filefilter</i><b>)</b>
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Square brackets "[]" mean that their contents are optional.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example, "<code>rt.jar(java/**.class,javax/**.class)</code>" matches all
|
|
|
|
class files in the <code>java</code> and <code>javax</code> directories inside
|
|
|
|
the <code>rt</code> jar.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example, "<code>input.jar(!**.gif,images/**)</code>" matches all files in
|
|
|
|
the <code>images</code> directory inside the <code>input</code> jar, except
|
|
|
|
gif files.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The different filters are applied to all corresponding file types, irrespective
|
|
|
|
of their nesting levels in the input; they are orthogonal.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
|
|
|
"<code>input.war(lib/**.jar,support/**.jar;**.class,**.gif)</code>" only
|
|
|
|
considers jar files in the <code>lib</code> and <code>support</code>
|
|
|
|
directories in the <code>input</code> war, not any other jar files. It then
|
|
|
|
matches all class files and gif files that are encountered.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The filters allow for an almost infinite number of packaging and repackaging
|
|
|
|
possibilities. The Examples section provides a few more examples
|
|
|
|
for <a href="examples.html#filtering">filtering input and output</a>.

<h2><a name="filename">File Names</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ProGuard accepts absolute paths and relative paths for the various file names
|
|
|
|
and directory names. A relative path is interpreted as follows:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>relative to the base directory, if set, or otherwise</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>relative to the configuration file in which it is specified, if any, or
|
|
|
|
otherwise</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>relative to the working directory.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The names can contain Java system properties (or Ant properties, when using
|
|
|
|
Ant), delimited by angular brackets, '<b><</b>' and '<b>></b>'. The
|
|
|
|
properties are automatically replaced by their corresponding values.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example, <code><java.home>/lib/rt.jar</code> is automatically
|
|
|
|
expanded to something like <code>/usr/local/java/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar</code>.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, <code><user.home></code> is expanded to the user's home
|
|
|
|
directory, and <code><user.dir></code> is expanded to the current
|
|
|
|
working directory.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Names with special characters like spaces and parentheses must be quoted with
|
|
|
|
single or double quotes. Each file name in a list of names has to be quoted
|
|
|
|
individually. Note that the quotes themselves may need to be escaped when used
|
|
|
|
on the command line, to avoid them being gobbled by the shell.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example, on the command line, you could use an option like <code>'-injars
|
|
|
|
"my program.jar":"/your directory/your program.jar"'</code>.
|
|
|

<h2><a name="filefilters">File Filters</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like general <a href="#filters">filters</a>, a file filter is a
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list of file names that can contain wildcards. Only files with
|
|
|
|
matching file names are read (in the case of input jars), or written (in the
|
|
|
|
case of output jars). The following wildcards are supported:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<table cellspacing="10">
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>?</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any single character in a file name.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>*</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any part of a filename not containing the directory
|
|
|
|
separator.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>**</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any part of a filename, possibly containing any number of
|
|
|
|
directory separators.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, "<code>java/**.class,javax/**.class</code>" matches all
|
|
|
|
class files in the <code>java</code> and <code>javax</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, a file name can be preceded by an exclamation mark '<b>!</b>' to
|
|
|
|
<i>exclude</i> the file name from further attempts to match with
|
|
|
|
<i>subsequent</i> file names.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example, "<code>!**.gif,images/**</code>" matches all files in the
|
|
|
|
<code>images</code> directory, except gif files.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The Examples section provides a few more examples for <a

<h2><a name="filters">Filters</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ProGuard offers options with filters for many different aspects of the
|
|
|
|
configuration: names of files, directories, classes, packages, attributes,
|
2013-12-26 19:10:58 +04:00
|
|
|
optimizations, etc.
|
2013-03-18 15:50:26 +04:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
A filter is a list of comma-separated names that can contain wildcards. Only
|
|
|
|
names that match an item on the list pass the filter. The supported wildcards
|
|
|
|
depend on the type of names for which the filter is being used, but the
|
|
|
|
following wildcards are typical:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<table cellspacing="10">
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>?</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any single character in a name.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>*</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any part of a name not containing the package separator or
|
|
|
|
directory separator.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>**</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any part of a name, possibly containing any number of
|
|
|
|
package separators or directory separators.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, "<code>foo,*bar</code>" matches the name <code>foo</code> and
|
|
|
|
all names ending with <code>bar</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, a name can be preceded by a negating exclamation mark '<b>!</b>'
|
|
|
|
to <i>exclude</i> the name from further attempts to match
|
|
|
|
with <i>subsequent</i> names. So, if a name matches an item in the filter, it
|
|
|
|
is accepted or rejected right away, depending on whether the item has a
|
|
|
|
negator. If the name doesn't match the item, it is tested against the next
|
|
|
|
item, and so on. It if doesn't match any items, it is accepted or rejected,
|
|
|
|
depending on the whether the last item has a negator or not.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For example, "<code>!foobar,*bar</code>" matches all names ending with
|
|
|
|
<code>bar</code>, except <code>foobar</code>.

The various <code>-keep</code> options for shrinking and obfuscation may seem

a bit confusing at first, but there's actually a pattern behind them. The

following table summarizes how they are related:

Each of these <code>-keep</code> options is of course followed by a

|
members (fields and methods) to which it should be applied.
|
|

<p>
|

If you're not sure which option you need, you should probably simply use
|
|
|
|
<code>-keep</code>. It will make sure the specified classes and class members
|
|
|
|
are not removed in the shrinking step, and not renamed in the obfuscation step.

<h2><a name="classspecification">Class Specifications</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A class specification is a template of classes and class members (fields and
|
|
|
|
methods). It is used in the various <code>-keep</code> options and in the
|
|
|
|
<code>-assumenosideeffects</code> option. The corresponding option is only
|
|
|
|
applied to classes and class members that match the template.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The template was designed to look very Java-like, with some extensions for
|
|
|
|
wildcards. To get a feel for the syntax, you should probably look at the <a
|
|
|
|
href="examples.html">examples</a>, but this is an attempt at a complete formal
|
|
|
|
definition:

Square brackets "[]" mean that their contents are optional. Ellipsis dots

"..." mean that any number of the preceding items may be specified. A vertical

|
bar "|" delimits two alternatives. Non-bold parentheses "()" just group parts
|
|
|
|
of the specification that belong together. The indentation tries to clarify

the intended meaning, but white-space is irrelevant in actual configuration
|

For additional flexibility, class names can actually be comma-separated
|
|
|
|
lists of class names, with optional <code><b>!</b></code> negators, just
|
|
|
|
like file name filters. This notation doesn't look very Java-like, so it
|
|
|
|
should be used with moderation.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
For convenience and for backward compatibility, the class name
|
|
|
|
<code><b>*</b></code> refers to any class, irrespective of its package.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <code><b>extends</b></code> and <code><b>implements</b></code>
|
|
|
|
specifications are typically used to restrict classes with wildcards. They

|
|
are currently equivalent, specifying that only classes extending or
|
|
|

implementing the given class qualify. Note that the given class itself is
|
|
|

not included in this set. If required, it should be specified in a
|
|
|
|
separate option.</li>
|
|
|
|
|

|
<li>The <code><b>@</b></code> specifications can be used to restrict classes
|
|

|
|
|
|
annotation types. An <i>annotationtype</i> is specified just like a
|
|
|
|
<i>classname</i>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Fields and methods are specified much like in Java, except that method
|
|
|
|
argument lists don't contain argument names (just like in other tools
|
|
|
|
like <code>javadoc</code> and <code>javap</code>). The specifications can
|
|
|
|
also contain the following catch-all wildcards:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<table cellspacing="10">
|
|

Note that the above wildcards don't have return types. Only the

Types in descriptors can contain the following wildcards:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<table cellspacing="10">
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>%</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any primitive type ("<code>boolean</code>", "<code>int</code>",
|
|
|
|
etc, but not "<code>void</code>").</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>?</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any single character in a class name.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>*</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any part of a class name not containing the package separator.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>**</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any part of a class name, possibly containing any number of
|
|
|
|
package separators.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>***</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any type (primitive or non-primitive, array or
|
|
|
|
non-array).</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>...</b></code></td>
|
|
|
|
<td>matches any number of arguments of any type.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the <code>?</code>, <code>*</code>, and <code>**</code>
|
|
|
|
wildcards will never match primitive types. Furthermore, only the
|
|
|
|
<code>***</code> wildcards will match array types of any dimension. For
|
|
|
|
example, "<code>** get*()</code>" matches "<code>java.lang.Object
|
|
|
|
getObject()</code>", but not "<code>float getFloat()</code>", nor
|
|
|
|
"<code>java.lang.Object[] getObjects()</code>".</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Constructors can also be specified using their short class names (without
|
|
|
|
package) or using their full class names. As in the Java language, the
|
|
|
|
constructor specification has an argument list, but no return type.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The class access modifiers and class member access modifiers are typically
|
|
|
|
used to restrict wildcarded classes and class members. They specify that
|
|
|
|
the corresponding access flags have to be set for the member to match. A
|
|
|
|
preceding <code><b>!</b></code> specifies that the corresponding access
|
|
|
|
flag should be unset.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Combining multiple flags is allowed (e.g. <code>public static</code>). It
|
|
|
|
means that both access flags have to be set (e.g. <code>public</code>
|
|
|
|
<i>and</i> <code>static</code>), except when they are conflicting, in
|
|
|
|
which case at least one of them has to be set (e.g. at least
|
|
|
|
<code>public</code>
|
|
|
|
<i>or</i> <code>protected</code>).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
ProGuard supports the additional modifiers <code><b>synthetic</b></code>,
|
|
|
|
<code><b>bridge</b></code>, and <code><b>varargs</b></code>, which may be
|
|
|
|
set by compilers.</li>
