Class BranchHandle

All Implemented Interfaces:: java.io.Serializable

public final class BranchHandle
extends InstructionHandle

BranchHandle is returned by specialized InstructionList.append() whenever a BranchInstruction is appended. This is useful when the target of this instruction is not known at time of creation and must be set later via setTarget().

Method Detail

addHandle

protected void addHandle()

Handle adds itself to the list of resuable handles.

Overrides:: addHandle in class InstructionHandle

getPosition

public int getPosition()

Overrides:: getPosition in class InstructionHandle

Following copied from class: org.apache.bcel.generic.InstructionHandle

Returns:: the position, i.e., the byte code offset of the contained instruction. This is accurate only after InstructionList.setPositions() has been called.

updatePosition

protected int updatePosition(int offset,
                             int max_offset)

Description copied from class: InstructionHandle

Called by InstructionList.setPositions when setting the position for every instruction. In the presence of variable length instructions `setPositions()' performs multiple passes over the instruction list to calculate the correct (byte) positions and offsets by calling this function.
