Class FieldOrMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, IndexedInstruction, LoadClass, TypedInstruction
Direct Known Subclasses:
FieldInstruction, InvokeInstruction

public abstract class FieldOrMethod extends CPInstruction implements LoadClass
Super class for InvokeInstruction and FieldInstruction, since they have some methods in common!
  • Constructor Details

    • FieldOrMethod

      protected FieldOrMethod(short opcode, int index)
      Constructs a FieldOrMethod.
      Parameters:
      opcode - the opcode.
      index - to constant pool.
  • Method Details

    • getClassName

      Deprecated.
      If the instruction references an array class, this method will return "java.lang.Object". For code generated by Java 1.5, this answer is sometimes wrong (for example, if the "clone()" method is called on an array). A better idea is to use the getReferenceType(ConstantPoolGen) method, which correctly distinguishes between class types and array types.
      Gets the name of the referenced class/interface.
      Parameters:
      cpg - the constant pool generator.
      Returns:
      name of the referenced class/interface.
    • getClassType

      Deprecated.
      If the instruction references an array class, the ObjectType returned will be invalid. Use getReferenceType() instead.
      Gets the type of the referenced class/interface.
      Parameters:
      cpg - the constant pool generator.
      Returns:
      type of the referenced class/interface.
    • getLoadClassType

      Gets the ObjectType of the method return or field.
      Specified by:
      getLoadClassType in interface LoadClass
      Parameters:
      cpg - the constant pool generator.
      Returns:
      type of the referenced class/interface.
      Throws:
      ClassGenException - when the field is (or method returns) an array.
    • getName

      Gets the name of referenced method or field.
      Parameters:
      cpg - the constant pool generator.
      Returns:
      name of referenced method/field.
    • getReferenceType

      Gets the reference type representing the class, interface, or array class referenced by the instruction.
      Parameters:
      cpg - the ConstantPoolGen used to create the instruction.
      Returns:
      an ObjectType (if the referenced class type is a class or interface), or an ArrayType (if the referenced class type is an array class)
    • getSignature

      Gets the signature of referenced method or field.
      Parameters:
      cpg - the constant pool generator.
      Returns:
      signature of referenced method/field.
