Constructor Details

LocalVariableInstruction

protected LocalVariableInstruction(short opcode,
 short cTag,
 int n)

Constructs a LocalVariableInstruction.

Parameters:

opcode - Instruction opcode.

cTag - Instruction number for compact version, ALOAD_0, for example.

n - local variable index (unsigned short).

Method Details

dump

public void dump(DataOutputStream out)
          throws IOException

Dumps instruction as byte code to stream out.

Overrides:

dump in class Instruction

Parameters:

out - Output stream.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown when an I/O exception of some sort has occurred.

getCanonicalTag

public short getCanonicalTag()

Gets the canonical tag for instruction, for example, ALOAD for ALOAD_0.

Returns:

canonical tag for instruction, for example, ALOAD for ALOAD_0.

getIndex

public final int getIndex()

Description copied from interface: IndexedInstruction

Gets the index.

Specified by:

getIndex in interface IndexedInstruction

Returns:

local variable index (n) referred by this instruction.

getType

public Type getType(ConstantPoolGen cp)

Returns the type associated with the instruction - in case of ALOAD or ASTORE Type.OBJECT is returned. This is just a bit incorrect, because ALOAD and ASTORE may work on every ReferenceType (including Type.NULL) and ASTORE may even work on a ReturnaddressType.

Specified by:

getType in interface TypedInstruction

Parameters:

cp - The constant pool generator.

Returns:

type associated with the instruction.

initFromFile

protected void initFromFile(ByteSequence bytes,
 boolean wide)
                     throws IOException

Reads needed data (for example index) from file.

(ILOAD <= tag <= ALOAD_3) || (ISTORE <= tag <= ASTORE_3)

Overrides:

initFromFile in class Instruction

Parameters:

bytes - byte sequence to read from.

wide - "wide" instruction flag.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown if the implementation needs to read data from the file

setIndex

public void setIndex(int index)

Sets the local variable index. also updates opcode and length TODO Why?

Specified by:

setIndex in interface IndexedInstruction

Parameters:

index - local variable index (unsigned short).

Throws:

ClassGenException - Thrown if index is out of bounds.

See Also:

• setIndexOnly(int)

toString

public String toString(boolean verbose)

Long output format: <name of opcode> "["<opcode number>"]" "("<length of instruction>")" "<"< local variable index>">"

Overrides:

toString in class Instruction

Parameters:

verbose - long/short format switch.

Returns:

mnemonic for instruction.
