Method Detail

copyForSSA

public SSAInstruction copyForSSA(SSAInstructionFactory insts,
                                 int[] defs,
                                 int[] uses)

Description copied from class: SSAInstruction

This method is meant to be used during SSA conversion for an IR that is not in SSA form. It creates a new SSAInstruction of the same type as the receiver, with a combination of the receiver's uses and defs and those from the method parameters.

In particular, if the 'defs' parameter is null, then the new instruction has the same defs as the receiver. If 'defs' is not null, it must be an array with a size equal to the number of defs that the receiver instruction has. In this case, the new instruction has defs taken from the array. The uses of the new instruction work in the same way with the 'uses' parameter.

Note that this only applies to CAst-based IR translation, since Java bytecode-based IR generation uses a different SSA construction mechanism.

Specified by:

copyForSSA in class SSAInstruction

toString

public java.lang.String toString(SymbolTable symbolTable)

Specified by:

toString in class SSAInstruction

visit

public void visit(SSAInstruction.IVisitor v)

Description copied from class: SSAInstruction

Apply an IVisitor to this instruction. We invoke the appropriate IVisitor method according to the type of this instruction.

Specified by:

visit in class SSAInstruction

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class SSAInstruction

isPEI

public boolean isPEI()

Overrides:

isPEI in class SSAInstruction

Returns:

true iff this instruction may throw an exception.

hasDef

public boolean hasDef()

Description copied from class: SSAInstruction

Does this instruction define a normal value, as distinct from a set of exceptions possibly thrown by it (e.g. for invoke instructions).

Overrides:

hasDef in class SSAInstruction

Returns:

true if the instruction does define a proper value.

getDef

public int getDef()

Overrides:

getDef in class SSAInstruction

getDef

public int getDef(int i)

Description copied from class: SSAInstruction

Return the ith def

Overrides:

getDef in class SSAInstruction

Parameters:

i - number of the def, starting at 0.

getNumberOfDefs

public int getNumberOfDefs()

Overrides:

getNumberOfDefs in class SSAInstruction

isFallThrough

public boolean isFallThrough()

Specified by:

isFallThrough in class SSAInstruction

Returns:

true iff this instruction may fall through to the next

getToken

public java.lang.Object getToken()

getType

public TypeReference getType()
