Interface ArrayStoreInstruction

All Superinterfaces:: ClassFileElement, CodeElement, Instruction

public sealed interface ArrayStoreInstruction extends Instruction

Models an array store instruction in the code array of a Code attribute. Corresponding opcodes have a kind of Opcode.Kind.ARRAY_STORE. Delivered as a CodeElement when traversing the elements of a CodeModel.

An array store instruction is composite:

ArrayStoreInstruction(TypeKind typeKind)

where typeKind is not void, and boolean is converted to byte.

Method Details

typeKind

TypeKind typeKind()

Returns the component type of the array. The byte type store instruction bastore also operates on boolean arrays, so this never returns boolean.

Returns:: the component type of the array
