Interface InvokeDynamicInstruction

All Superinterfaces:: ClassFileElement, CodeElement, Instruction

public sealed interface InvokeDynamicInstruction extends Instruction

Models a dynamically-computed call site invocation instruction in the code array of a Code attribute. The corresponding opcode is invokedynamic. Delivered as a CodeElement when traversing the elements of a CodeModel.

A dynamically-computed call site invocation instruction is composite:

InvokeDynamicInstruction(InvokeDynamicEntry invokedynamic)

See Java Virtual Machine Specification:

6.5.invokedynamic invokedynamic
