Class LocalVariableGen

java.lang.Object

org.apache.bcel.generic.LocalVariableGen

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, InstructionTargeter, NamedAndTyped

public class LocalVariableGen
extends Object
implements InstructionTargeter, NamedAndTyped, Cloneable

Represents a local variable within a method. It contains its scope, name and type. The generated LocalVariable object can be obtained with getLocalVariable which needs the instruction list and the constant pool as parameters.

Constructor Details

LocalVariableGen

public LocalVariableGen(int index,
 String name,
 Type type,
 InstructionHandle start,
 InstructionHandle end)

Generate a local variable that with index 'index'. Note that double and long variables need two indexs. Index indices have to be provided by the user.

Parameters:

index - index of local variable

name - its name

type - its type

start - from where the instruction is valid (null means from the start)

end - until where the instruction is valid (null means to the end)

LocalVariableGen

public LocalVariableGen(int index,
 String name,
 Type type,
 InstructionHandle start,
 InstructionHandle end,
 int origIndex)

Generates a local variable that with index 'index'. Note that double and long variables need two indexs. Index indices have to be provided by the user.

Parameters:

index - index of local variable

name - its name

type - its type

start - from where the instruction is valid (null means from the start)

end - until where the instruction is valid (null means to the end)

origIndex - index of local variable prior to any changes to index

Method Details

clone

public Object clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

containsTarget

public boolean containsTarget(InstructionHandle ih)

Description copied from interface: InstructionTargeter

Tests whether this targeter targets the specified instruction handle.

Specified by:

containsTarget in interface InstructionTargeter

Parameters:

ih - the instruction handle to test.

Returns:

true, if ih is target of this variable

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

We consider to local variables to be equal, if the use the same index and are valid in the same range.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getEnd

public InstructionHandle getEnd()

getIndex

public int getIndex()

getLiveToEnd

public boolean getLiveToEnd()

getLocalVariable

public LocalVariable getLocalVariable(ConstantPoolGen cp)

Gets LocalVariable object. This relies on that the instruction list has already been dumped to byte code or that the 'setPositions' methods has been called for the instruction list. Note that due to the conversion from byte code offset to InstructionHandle, it is impossible to tell the difference between a live range that ends BEFORE the last insturction of the method or a live range that ends AFTER the last instruction of the method. Hence the liveToEnd flag to differentiate between these two cases.

Parameters:

cp - constant pool

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface NamedAndTyped

getOrigIndex

public int getOrigIndex()

getStart

public InstructionHandle getStart()

getType

public Type getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface NamedAndTyped

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

setEnd

public void setEnd(InstructionHandle end)

setIndex

public void setIndex(int index)

setLiveToEnd

public void setLiveToEnd(boolean liveToEnd)

setName

public void setName(String name)

Specified by:

setName in interface NamedAndTyped

setStart

public void setStart(InstructionHandle start)

setType

public void setType(Type type)

Specified by:

setType in interface NamedAndTyped

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

updateTarget

public void updateTarget(InstructionHandle oldIh,
 InstructionHandle newIh)

Description copied from interface: InstructionTargeter

Replaces the target of this targeter from this old handle to the new handle.

Specified by:

updateTarget in interface InstructionTargeter

Parameters:

oldIh - old target, either start or end

newIh - new target
