Class SwitchState

java.lang.Object

gnu.bytecode.SwitchState

public class SwitchState
extends Object

Maintains the state for generating a switch statement or expression.

Simple example

To translate:

 switch (exps) {
   case 1: exp1; break;
   case 2: exp2; break;
   default: expd;
 } 

you can do:

 compile[exps]
 SwitchState sw = code.startSwitch();
 sw.addCase(1, code);
 compile[exp1];
 sw.exitSwitch(code);
 sw.addCase(2, code);
 compile[exp2];
 sw.exitSwitch(code);
 sw.addDefault(code);
 compile[expd];
 sw.finish(code);

Method Details

getMaxValue

public int getMaxValue()

getNumCases

public int getNumCases()

switchValuePushed

public void switchValuePushed(CodeAttr code)

Needs to be called after the switch value has been pushed. I.e. in execution order, just before the actual switch instruction. Called implicitly by CodeAttr.startSwitch().

addCase

public boolean addCase(int value,
 CodeAttr code)

Add a new case.

Parameters:

value - the case value to match against at run-time

code - the CodeAttr of the Method we are generating code for

Returns:

true on success; false if value duplicates an existing value

addCaseGoto

public boolean addCaseGoto(int value,
 CodeAttr code,
 Label label)

Optimization of addCase(value, code); emitGoto(label).

addDefault

public void addDefault(CodeAttr code)

insertCase

public boolean insertCase(int value,
 Label label,
 CodeAttr code)

Internal routine to add a new case.

Parameters:

value - the case value to match against at run-time

label - the location to go to if the value matches

code - the CodeAttr of the Method we are generating code for

Returns:

true on success; false if value duplicates an existing value

exitSwitch

public void exitSwitch(CodeAttr code)

Break/exit from this switch. Doesn't allow exiting through a try - if you need that, use an ExitableBlock.

finish

public void finish(CodeAttr code)

Handle the end of the switch statement. Assume the case value is on the stack; go to the matching case label.
