Class espresso.classfile.javaclass.Method 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----espresso.classfile.javaclass.Method
public final class Method
extends Object
implements Constants
This class represents the method info structure, i.e. the representation for a method in the class. See JVM specification for details. A method has access flags, a name, a signature and a number of attributes.

Variable Index

o access_flags
o attributes
o attributes_count
o constant_pool
o name_index
o signature_index

Constructor Index

o Method()
Empty constructor, all attributes have to be defined via `setXXX' methods.
o Method(DataInputStream, ConstantPool)
Construct object from file stream.
o Method(int, int, int, Attribute[], ConstantPool)
o Method(Method)
Initialize from another object.

Method Index

o accept(Visitor)
Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class.
o dump(DataOutputStream)
Dump method to file stream on binary format.
o getAccessFlags()
o getAttributes()
o getCode()
o getConstantPool()
o getName()
o getNameIndex()
o getSignature()
o getSignatureIndex()
o setAccessFlags(int)
o setAttributes(Attribute[])
o setConstantPool(ConstantPool)
o setNameIndex(int)
o setSignatureIndex(int)
o toString()
Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static int main(String[]) throws IOException', e.g.

Variables

o access_flags 
 private int access_flags
o name_index 
 private int name_index
o signature_index 
 private int signature_index
o attributes_count 
 private int attributes_count
o attributes 
 private Attribute attributes[]
o constant_pool 
 private ConstantPool constant_pool

Constructors

o Method 
 public Method()
Empty constructor, all attributes have to be defined via `setXXX' methods. Use at your own risk.

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

o Method 
 Method(DataInputStream file,
        ConstantPool constant_pool) throws IOException, ClassFormatError
Construct object from file stream.

Parameters:
file - Input stream
o Method 
 public Method(int access_flags,
               int name_index,
               int signature_index,
               Attribute attributes[],
               ConstantPool constant_pool)
Parameters:
access_flags - Access rights of method
name_index - Points to field name in constant pool
signature_index - Points to encoded signature
attributes - Collection of attributes
constant_pool - Array of constants

Methods

o 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.

Parameters:
v - Visitor object
o dump 
 public final void dump(DataOutputStream file) throws IOException
Dump method to file stream on binary format.

Parameters:
file - Output file stream
o getAccessFlags 
 public final int getAccessFlags()
Returns:
Access flags of the class field.
o getAttributes 
 public final Attribute[] getAttributes()
Returns:
Collection of method attributes.
o getCode 
 public final Code getCode()
Returns:
Code attribute of method
o getConstantPool 
 public final ConstantPool getConstantPool()
Returns:
Constant pool used by this object.
See Also:
ConstantPool
o getName 
 public final String getName()
Returns:
Name of method
o getNameIndex 
 public final int getNameIndex()
Returns:
Index in constant pool of field name.
o getSignature 
 public final String getSignature()
Returns:
String representation of method type signature.
o getSignatureIndex 
 public final int getSignatureIndex()
Returns:
Index in constant pool of field signature.
o setAccessFlags 
 public final void setAccessFlags(int access_flags)
o setAttributes 
 public final void setAttributes(Attribute attributes[])
o setConstantPool 
 public final void setConstantPool(ConstantPool constant_pool)
Parameters:
constant_pool - Constant pool to be used for this object.
See Also:
ConstantPool
o setNameIndex 
 public final void setNameIndex(int name_index)
o setSignatureIndex 
 public final void setSignatureIndex(int signature_index)
o toString 
 public final String toString()
Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static int main(String[]) throws IOException', e.g.

Returns:
String representation of the method.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
