Class SSANewInstruction


  • public abstract class SSANewInstruction
    extends SSAInstruction
    An allocation instruction ("new") for SSA form.

    This includes allocations of both scalars and arrays.

      • 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.

      • 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​(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.
      • getConcreteType

        public TypeReference getConcreteType()
        Returns:
        TypeReference
      • getUse

        public int getUse​(int j)
        Overrides:
        getUse in class SSAInstruction
        Returns:
        value number representing the jth use in this instruction. -1 means TOP (i.e., the value doesn't matter)
      • isPEI

        public boolean isPEI()
        Overrides:
        isPEI in class SSAInstruction
        Returns:
        true iff this instruction may throw an exception.
      • isFallThrough

        public boolean isFallThrough()
        Specified by:
        isFallThrough in class SSAInstruction
        Returns:
        true iff this instruction may fall through to the next
