Class InstructionFactory

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    InstructionConstants

    public class InstructionFactory
    extends Object
    implements InstructionConstants
    Instances of this class may be used, e.g., to generate typed versions of instructions. Its main purpose is to be used as the byte code generating backend of a compiler. You can subclass it to add your own create methods.

    Note: The static createXXX methods return singleton instances from the InstructionConst class.
