I am trying to decompile a couple of jar files using JAD in Java (I tried JD-GUI as well with even less luck), but I get quite a lot of errors. One type (easy to fix) seems to be with internal classes, but I also found this bit of code:
static int[] $SWITCH_TABLE$atp$com$OrderType()
{
$SWITCH_TABLE$atp$com$OrderType;
if($SWITCH_TABLE$atp$com$OrderType == null) goto _L2; else goto _L1
_L1:
return;
_L2:
JVM INSTR pop ;
int ai[] = new int[OrderType.values().length];
try
{
ai[OrderType.LIMIT.ordinal()] = 2;
}
catch(NoSuchFieldError _ex) { }
try
{
ai[OrderType.MARKET.ordinal()] = 1;
}
catch(NoSuchFieldError _ex) { }
try
{
ai[OrderType.STOP.ordinal()] = 3;
}
catch(NoSuchFieldError _ex) { }
try
{
ai[OrderType.TAKE.ordinal()] = 4;
}
catch(NoSuchFieldError _ex) { }
return $SWITCH_TABLE$atp$com$OrderType = ai;
}
which is used as follows:
switch($SWITCH_TABLE$atp$com$OrderType()[co.getOrderType().ordinal()])
{
case 1: // '\001'
order = new Order(userID, null, co.getOrderType(), co.getOrderSide(), co.getOrderID(), co.getOrderSecurity(), co.getOrderQuantity(), broker);
break;
case 2: // '\002'
order = new Order(userID, null, co.getOrderType(), co.getOrderSide(), co.getOrderPrice(), co.getOrderID(), co.getOrderSecurity(), co.getOrderQuantity(), broker);
break;
case 3: // '\003'
order = new Order(userID, null, co.getOrderType(), co.getOrderSide(), co.getOrderPrice(), co.getOrderID(), co.getOrderSecurity(), co.getOrderQuantity(), broker);
break;
}
Any idea what this construct originally could have been?

I think it's tableswitch for an enum. It translates the arbitrary enum ordinal value to number 0..n, it allows improve performance of the switch statement.
UPDATE
Just understood it!
The problem is - the code which uses the enum could be compiled separately from the enum itself. So it doesn't know at compile time the ordinal values, so it cannot construct a proper tableswitch op. So, that's why it introduces the lazy SWITCH_TABLE structure to map currently available ordinal values to the local tableswitch int numbers.
