Instantiate class in Jasmin

Question

I'm trying to instantiate a class in Jasmin like this: ``` new Ljava/lang/Object; dup invokespecial java/lang/Object/<init>()V ``` This does compile but the class vierifier complains: "VerifyError: Call to wrong initialization method." What's the correct way to instantiate a class?

Accepted Answer

Ahh, I found the f***ing problem:

The parameter of 'new' should be the plain qualified name of the type, not it's decorated name. I. e. instead of

```
new Ljava/lang/Object;
```

you should write:

```
new java/lang/Object
```

The working code is:

```
new java/lang/Object
dup
invokespecial java/lang/Object/<init>()V
```
