[Checkers] ClassWriter bug report

[Mahmood Ali]

Hi Matt,

I have been working on having the Checker Framework parse annotations  
from class files.  Unfortunately, I couldn't make much progress.

I suspect that there is a bug in ClassWriter that prevents it from  
writing all type annotations to the classfile.  When debugging (using  
the latest version), I noticed that for the method testParam(), I was  
getting the following:

- method - testParam - MethodSymbol.typeAnnotations has one element:  
<[UNKNOWN @-1]>
- parameter - m - VarSymbol.typeAnnotations is List.nil() i.e. empty  
list

I was suspecting a different result.  Shouldn't one of them have an  
annotation for parameterized type?

Here is the output when using -X308 flags.  Notice how it printed a  
statement for the method receiver when writing and reading, but not  
for the parameterized type.

I tested with 0.6.2, which is the last release before updating  
langtools to hg.

Please send me an email with your thoughts.

Regards,
Mahmood
