      • Frame

        public Frame​(int locals,
                     int stack)
        Create a new frame with the specified local variable table size, and max stack size
        Parameters:
        locals - the number of local variable table entries
        stack - the maximum stack size
    • Method Detail

      • getLocal

        public Type getLocal​(int index)
        Returns the local varaible table entry at index.
        Parameters:
        index - the position in the table
        Returns:
        the type if one exists, or null if the position is empty
      • setLocal

        public void setLocal​(int index,
                             Type type)
        Sets the local variable table entry at index to a type.
        Parameters:
        index - the position in the table
        type - the type to set at the position
      • getStack

        public Type getStack​(int index)
        Returns the type on the stack at the specified index.
        Parameters:
        index - the position on the stack
        Returns:
        the type of the stack position
      • setStack

        public void setStack​(int index,
                             Type type)
        Sets the type of the stack position
        Parameters:
        index - the position on the stack
        type - the type to set
      • clearStack

        public void clearStack()
        Empties the stack
      • getTopIndex

        public int getTopIndex()
        Gets the index of the type sitting at the top of the stack. This is not to be confused with a length operation which would return the number of elements, not the position of the last element.
        Returns:
        the position of the element at the top of the stack
      • localsLength

        public int localsLength()
        Returns the number of local variable table entries, specified at construction.
        Returns:
        the number of local variable table entries
      • peek

        public Type peek()
        Gets the top of the stack without altering it
        Returns:
        the top of the stack
      • pop

        public Type pop()
        Alters the stack to contain one less element and return it.
        Returns:
        the element popped from the stack
      • push

        public void push​(Type type)
        Alters the stack by placing the passed type on the top
        Parameters:
        type - the type to add to the top
      • copy

        public Frame copy()
        Makes a shallow copy of this frame, i.e. the type instances will remain the same.
        Returns:
        the shallow copy
      • copyStack

        public Frame copyStack()
        Makes a shallow copy of the stack portion of this frame. The local variable table size will be copied, but its contents will be empty.
        Returns:
        the shallow copy of the stack
      • mergeStack

        public boolean mergeStack​(Frame frame)
        Merges all types on the stack of this frame instance with that of the specified frame. The local variable table is left untouched.
        Parameters:
        frame - the frame to merge the stack from
        Returns:
        true if any changes where made
      • merge

        public boolean merge​(Frame frame)
        Merges all types on the stack and local variable table of this frame with that of the specified type.
        Parameters:
        frame - the frame to merge with
        Returns:
        true if any changes to this frame where made by this merge
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
