Constructor Detail

ConstantPoolEntry

public ConstantPoolEntry(int tagValue,
                         int entries)

Initialise the constant pool entry.

Parameters:

tagValue - the tag value which identifies which type of constant pool entry this is.

entries - the number of constant pool entry slots this entry occupies.

Method Detail

readEntry

public static ConstantPoolEntry readEntry(java.io.DataInputStream cpStream)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Read a constant pool entry from a stream. This is a factory method which reads a constant pool entry form a stream and returns the appropriate subclass for the entry.

Parameters:

cpStream - the stream from which the constant pool entry is to be read.

Returns:

the appropriate ConstantPoolEntry subclass representing the constant pool entry from the stream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the constant pool entry cannot be read from the stream

isResolved

public boolean isResolved()

Indicates whether this entry has been resolved. In general a constant pool entry can reference another constant pool entry by its index value. Resolution involves replacing this index value with the constant pool entry at that index.

Returns:

true if this entry has been resolved.

resolve

public void resolve(ConstantPool constantPool)

Resolve this constant pool entry with respect to its dependents in the constant pool.

Parameters:

constantPool - the constant pool of which this entry is a member and against which this entry is to be resolved.

read

public abstract void read(java.io.DataInputStream cpStream)
                   throws java.io.IOException

read a constant pool entry from a class stream.

Parameters:

cpStream - the DataInputStream which contains the constant pool entry to be read.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is a problem reading the entry from the stream.

getTag

public int getTag()

Get the Entry's type tag.

Returns:

The Tag value of this entry

getNumEntries

public final int getNumEntries()

Get the number of Constant Pool Entry slots within the constant pool occupied by this entry.

Returns:

the number of slots used.
