AppleCore transforms all IGrowables it can find in the class path, but does it without computing frames (https://github.com/squeek502/ASMHelper/blob/master/raw/squeek/asmhelper/ASMHelper.java#L123)

This causes invalid bytecode crashes in Java 7 and 8: williewillus/Botania#80

Ugh, I was worried about this. I don't compute frames and I get this; I compute them and I get even weirder crashes in ClassWriter.getCommonSuperClass().

Appreciate the report. Not sure what the solution is at this point.

Wait, the crash report from williewillus/Botania#80 is using an old development version of AppleCore that was known to have this issue. Please have that user update to the release version of 1.3.0, where this should have been fixed: https://github.com/squeek502/AppleCore/releases/tag/v1.3.0

My solution to this was to have a custom ClassWriter implementation that doesn't load classes but instead uses ASM itself to find the common superclass. The ClassWriter is here, the ClassInfo class structure is here.

Appreciate the example, @diesieben07. I know CodeChickenLib does something similar. Looks like I'll have to write something as robust if this is still an issue (though I probably should anyway).

I had this issue with the same dev version, got fixed in 1.3.0 tho :)

williewillus/Botania#80 got closed, so I assume this can get closed too.

Still seems to be an issue, actually. From @VikeStep: http://pastebin.com/rXC1tCAs

That is 1.7.10 tho.

The problem wouldn't be different between MC versions. I updated the 1.7.10 version, too.
