org.apache.bcel.generic.LocalVariableGen

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, InstructionTargeter, NamedAndTyped

public class LocalVariableGen
extends java.lang.Object
implements InstructionTargeter, NamedAndTyped, java.lang.Cloneable

Represents a local variable within a method. It contains its scope, name and type. The generated LocalVariable object can be obtained with getLocalVariable which needs the instruction list and the constant pool as parameters.

Constructor Detail

LocalVariableGen

public LocalVariableGen(int index,
                        java.lang.String name,
                        Type type,
                        InstructionHandle start,
                        InstructionHandle end)

Generate a local variable that with index `index'. Note that double and long variables need two indexs. Index indices have to be provided by the user.

Parameters:

index - index of local variable

name - its name

type - its type

start - from where the instruction is valid (null means from the start)

end - until where the instruction is valid (null means to the end)

LocalVariableGen

public LocalVariableGen(int index,
                        java.lang.String name,
                        Type type,
                        InstructionHandle start,
                        InstructionHandle end,
                        int origIndex)

Generates a local variable that with index `index'. Note that double and long variables need two indexs. Index indices have to be provided by the user.

Parameters:

index - index of local variable

name - its name

type - its type

start - from where the instruction is valid (null means from the start)

end - until where the instruction is valid (null means to the end)

origIndex - index of local variable prior to any changes to index

Method Detail

getLocalVariable

public LocalVariable getLocalVariable(ConstantPoolGen cp)

Gets LocalVariable object. This relies on that the instruction list has already been dumped to byte code or or that the `setPositions' methods has been called for the instruction list. Note that due to the conversion from byte code offset to InstructionHandle, it is impossible to tell the difference between a live range that ends BEFORE the last insturction of the method or a live range that ends AFTER the last instruction of the method. Hence the liveToEnd flag to differentiate between these two cases.

Parameters:

cp - constant pool

setIndex

public void setIndex(int index)

getIndex

public int getIndex()

getOrigIndex

public int getOrigIndex()

setLiveToEnd

public void setLiveToEnd(boolean live_to_end)

getLiveToEnd
