All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Node

public final class ConstantValue
extends Attribute

This class is derived from Attribute and represents a constant value, i.e., a default value for initializing a class field. This class is instantiated by the Attribute.readAttribute() method.

Constructor Detail

ConstantValue

public ConstantValue(ConstantValue c)

Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use clone() for a physical copy.

ConstantValue

public ConstantValue(int name_index,
                     int length,
                     int constantvalue_index,
                     ConstantPool constant_pool)

Parameters:

name_index - Name index in constant pool

length - Content length in bytes

constantvalue_index - Index in constant pool

constant_pool - Array of constants

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)

Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.

Specified by:

accept in interface Node

Specified by:

accept in class Attribute

Parameters:

v - Visitor object

dump

public final void dump(DataOutputStream file)
                throws IOException

Dump constant value attribute to file stream on binary format.

Overrides:

dump in class Attribute

Parameters:

file - Output file stream

Throws:

IOException

getConstantValueIndex

public final int getConstantValueIndex()

Returns:

Index in constant pool of constant value.

setConstantValueIndex

public final void setConstantValueIndex(int constantvalue_index)

Parameters:

constantvalue_index - the index info the constant pool of this constant value

toString

public final String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Attribute

Returns:

String representation of constant value.

copy

public Attribute copy(ConstantPool _constant_pool)

Specified by:

copy in class Attribute

Returns:

deep copy of this attribute
