org.apache.bcel.generic.SWITCH

All Implemented Interfaces:

CompoundInstruction

public final class SWITCH
extends Object
implements CompoundInstruction

SWITCH - Branch depending on int value, generates either LOOKUPSWITCH or TABLESWITCH instruction, depending on whether the match values (int[]) can be sorted with no gaps between the numbers.

Constructor Details

SWITCH

public SWITCH(int[] match,
 InstructionHandle[] targets,
 InstructionHandle target)

SWITCH

public SWITCH(int[] match,
 InstructionHandle[] targets,
 InstructionHandle target,
 int maxGap)

Template for switch() constructs. If the match array can be sorted in ascending order with gaps no larger than maxGap between the numbers, a TABLESWITCH instruction is generated, and a LOOKUPSWITCH otherwise. The former may be more efficient, but needs more space. Note, that the key array always will be sorted, though we leave the original arrays unaltered.

Parameters:

match - array of match values (case 2: ... case 7: ..., etc.)

targets - the instructions to be branched to for each case

target - the default target

maxGap - maximum gap that may between case branches
