BType

trait BType

A BType is either a primitve type, a ClassBType, an ArrayBType of one of these, or a MethodType referring to BTypes.

Value members

Concrete methods

final
def conformsTo(other: BType): Boolean
final
Returns

The Java descriptor of this type. Examples:

  • int: I
  • java.lang.String: Ljava/lang/String;
  • int[]: [I
  • Object m(String s, double d): (Ljava/lang/String;D)Ljava/lang/Object;

def maxType(other: BType): BType

Compute the upper bound of two types. Takes promotions of numeric primitives into account.

Compute the upper bound of two types. Takes promotions of numeric primitives into account.

def size: Int
Returns

0 for void, 2 for long and double, 1 otherwise

The asm.Type corresponding to this BType.

The asm.Type corresponding to this BType.

Note about asm.Type.getObjectType (*): For class types, the method expects the internal name, i.e. without the surrounding 'L' and ';'. For array types on the other hand, the method expects a full descriptor, for example "[Ljava/lang/String;".

See method asm.Type.getType that creates a asm.Type from a type descriptor

  • for an OBJECT type, the 'L' and ';' are not part of the range of the created Type
  • for an ARRAY type, the full descriptor is part of the range

def typedOpcode(opcode: Int): Int

Some JVM opcodes have typed variants. This method returns the correct opcode according to the type.

Some JVM opcodes have typed variants. This method returns the correct opcode according to the type.

Value Params
opcode

A JVM instruction opcode. This opcode must be one of ILOAD, ISTORE, IALOAD, IASTORE, IADD, ISUB, IMUL, IDIV, IREM, INEG, ISHL, ISHR, IUSHR, IAND, IOR IXOR and IRETURN.

Returns

The opcode adapted to this java type. For example, if this type is float and opcode is IRETURN, this method returns FRETURN.
