Space Walker: create Sparrow page

create Sparrow page

New page

Sparrow is Ornithe's generics patch. It is used to modify generic type signatures in Java class files.

See [[Signature Changer]] for information on generic type signatures and how these patches are applied.

=== Relevance ===

Most Minecraft versions before 1.8.2 Pre-release 5 had the generic type signatures stripped from the jar. Sparrow was created in an effort to reconstruct what the original generics would have been in the source code.

=== File Specification ===

The <code>.sigs</code> file format was originally created by [https://github.com/Gaming32 Gaming32]. <code>.sigs</code> files are <code>UTF-8</code> encoded text files. A line has the following format.

<class name> [<class signature>]
<member name> <member type descriptor> <member signature>
...
...

* <code>class name</code>: the internal name of the class.
* <code>class signature</code>: the generic type signature of the class (optional).
* <code>member name</code>: the name of the field or method.
* <code>member type descriptor</code>: the type descriptor of the field or method.
* <code>member signature</code>: the generic type signature of the field or method.

==== Notes ====

The file format does not support generic type signatures for local variables.
