Method Detail

nextVar

public final Variable nextVar()

hasMoreElements

public final boolean hasMoreElements()

Specified by:

hasMoreElements in interface java.util.Enumeration

nextElement

public java.lang.Object nextElement()

Specified by:

nextElement in interface java.util.Enumeration

isAssigned

public final boolean isAssigned()

Returns true iff assigned to a local variable slot. Only relevant if isSimple ().

isSimple

public final boolean isSimple()

Returns true for a "simple" variable. A "simple" Variable can be stack-allocated using standard local variable slots. It is allocated by the codegen package. A non-simple variable may need heap allocation, or more more complex access; it is basically ignored by the codegen package, and must be managed by higher layers.

setSimple

public final void setSimple(boolean simple)

isParameter

public final boolean isParameter()

setParameter

public final void setParameter(boolean parameter)

isArtificial

public final boolean isArtificial()

setArtificial

public final void setArtificial(boolean artificial)

reserveLocal

public boolean reserveLocal(int varIndex,
                            CodeAttr code)

Assign a local variable to a given local variable slot.

Parameters:

local - the index of the local variables.

Returns:

true iff we succeeded (i.e. the slot was unused)

allocateLocal

public void allocateLocal(CodeAttr code)

Allocate slots for a local variable (or parameter).

Returns:

the index of the (first) slot.

freeLocal

public void freeLocal(CodeAttr code)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
