Tests pass with openjdk:21

[Comment 4 Miroslav Šulc 2024-07-23 09:50:17 UTC]

it seems the problem is that objectweb does not support that version of java

[Comment 5 Miroslav Šulc 2024-07-23 09:57:24 UTC]

the question is, what does asm inspect that it encounters java 24 bytecode. the package itself it should not be as there is source/target 1.8, so maybe it inspects system classes... i didn't investigate this. anyway, using a version of asm that supports java 24 should resolve this and similar issues.

not sure if vbump to asm-9.7 would help. we'll see once that's done.
