org.apache.bcel.classfile

Class Code

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Node, Serializable

public final class Code
extends Attribute

This class represents a chunk of Java byte code contained in a method. It is instantiated by the Attribute.readAttribute() method. A Code attribute contains informations about operand stack, local variables, byte code and the exceptions handled within this method. This attribute has attributes itself, namely LineNumberTable which is used for debugging purposes and LocalVariableTable which contains information about the local variables.

Constructor Details

Code

public Code(int name_index,
            int length,
            int max_stack,
            int max_locals,
            byte[] code,
            CodeException[] exception_table,
            Attribute[] attributes,
            ConstantPool constant_pool)
Parameters:
name_index - Index pointing to the name Code
length - Content length in bytes
max_stack - Maximum size of stack
max_locals - Number of local variables
code - Actual byte code
exception_table - Table of handled exceptions
attributes - Attributes of code: LineNumber or LocalVariable
constant_pool - Array of constants

Code

public Code(Code c)
Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use copy() for a physical copy.

Method Details

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)
Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
Specified by:
accept in interface Node
Overrides:
accept in interface Attribute
Parameters:
v - Visitor object

copy

public Attribute copy(ConstantPool constant_pool)
Overrides:
copy in interface Attribute
Returns:
deep copy of this attribute

dump

public final void dump(DataOutputStream file)
            throws IOException
Dump code attribute to file stream in binary format.
Overrides:
dump in interface Attribute
Parameters:
file - Output file stream

getAttributes

public final Attribute[] getAttributes()
Returns:
Collection of code attributes.
See Also:
Attribute

getCode

public final byte[] getCode()
Returns:
Actual byte code of the method.

getExceptionTable

public final CodeException[] getExceptionTable()
Returns:
Table of handled exceptions.
See Also:
CodeException

getLineNumberTable

public LineNumberTable getLineNumberTable()
Returns:
LineNumberTable of Code, if it has one

getLocalVariableTable

public LocalVariableTable getLocalVariableTable()
Returns:
LocalVariableTable of Code, if it has one

getMaxLocals

public final int getMaxLocals()
Returns:
Number of local variables.

getMaxStack

public final int getMaxStack()
Returns:
Maximum size of stack used by this method.

setAttributes

public final void setAttributes(Attribute[] attributes)
Parameters:

setCode

public final void setCode(byte[] code)
Parameters:
code - byte code

setExceptionTable

public final void setExceptionTable(CodeException[] exception_table)
Parameters:
exception_table - exception table

setMaxLocals

public final void setMaxLocals(int max_locals)
Parameters:
max_locals - maximum number of local variables

setMaxStack

public final void setMaxStack(int max_stack)
Parameters:
max_stack - maximum stack size

toString

public final String toString()
Overrides:
toString in interface Attribute
Returns:
String representation of code chunk.

toString

public final String toString(boolean verbose)
Returns:
String representation of code chunk.
