Consider constructor auto-generation to allow private field injection.
vackosar opened this issue · comments
For example in class A { @Inject private B b; } field b cannot be injected because it is private field.
Can you please consider to automatically generate constructor into class A upon compilation to avoid having to make b more accessible or writing constructor manually?
Annotation processing cannot modify existing classes. This cannot be done
for that reason alone, among others.

Well AspectJ does code generation at compile time, so it can be done, no?
Byte code rewriting is a very different thing than annotation processing,
though. And Dagger has no way of interacting with code at the bytecode
level.
