java反射 获取变量值,Java反射：如何获取变量的名称？

Using Java Reflection, is it possible to get the name of a local variable? For example, if I have this:

Foo b = new Foo();

Foo a = new Foo();

Foo r = new Foo();

is it possible to implement a method that can find the names of those variables, like so:

public void baz(Foo... foos)

{

for (Foo foo: foos) {

// Print the name of each foo - b, a, and r

System.out.println(***);

}

}

EDIT: This question is different from Is there a way in Java to find the name of the variable that was passed to a function? in that it more purely asks the question about whether one can use reflection to determine the name of a local variable, whereas the other question (including the accepted answer) is more focused on testing values of variables.

As of Java 8, some local variable name information is available through reflection. See the "Update" section below.

Complete information is often stored in class files. One compile-time optimization is to remove it, saving space (and providing some obsfuscation). However, when it is is present, each method has a local variable table attribute that lists the type and name of local variables, and the range of instructions where they are in scope.

Perhaps a byte-code engineering library like ASM would allow you to inspect this information at runtime. The only reasonable place I can think of for needing this information is in a development tool, and so byte-code engineering is likely to be useful for other purposes too.

Update: Limited support for this was added to Java 8. Parameter (a special class of local variable) names are now available via reflection. Among other purposes, this can help to replace @ParameterName annotations used by dependency injection containers.
