public abstract class FieldOrMethod
extends CPInstruction
implements LoadClass

Super class for InvokeInstruction and FieldInstruction, since they have some methods in common!

Constructor Detail

FieldOrMethod

protected FieldOrMethod(short opcode,
                        int index)

Parameters:

index - to constant pool

Method Detail

getSignature

public String getSignature(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

Returns:

signature of referenced method/field.

getName

public String getName(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

Returns:

name of referenced method/field.

getClassName

@Deprecated
public String getClassName(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

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 (e.g., 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.

Returns:

name of the referenced class/interface

getClassType

@Deprecated
public ObjectType getClassType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

Deprecated.

If the instruction references an array class, the ObjectType returned will be invalid. Use getReferenceType() instead.

Returns:

type of the referenced class/interface

getReferenceType

public ReferenceType getReferenceType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

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)

getLoadClassType

public ObjectType getLoadClassType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

Gets the ObjectType of the method return or field.

Specified by:

getLoadClassType in interface LoadClass

Returns:

type of the referenced class/interface

Throws:

ClassGenException - when the field is (or method returns) an array,
