    • copyForSSA

      public SSAInstruction copyForSSA(SSAInstructionFactory insts, int[] defs, int[] uses)
      Description copied from class: SSAInstruction
      This method is meant to be used during SSA conversion for an IR that is not in SSA form. It creates a new SSAInstruction of the same type as the receiver, with a combination of the receiver's uses and defs and those from the method parameters.

      In particular, if the 'defs' parameter is null, then the new instruction has the same defs as the receiver. If 'defs' is not null, it must be an array with a size equal to the number of defs that the receiver instruction has. In this case, the new instruction has defs taken from the array. The uses of the new instruction work in the same way with the 'uses' parameter.

      Note that this only applies to CAst-based IR translation, since Java bytecode-based IR generation uses a different SSA construction mechanism.

      TODO: move this into the SSAInstructionFactory

    • visit

      public void visit(SSAInstruction.IVisitor v)
      Description copied from class: SSAInstruction
      Apply an IVisitor to this instruction. We invoke the appropriate IVisitor method according to the type of this instruction.

    • isPEI

      public boolean isPEI()
      Overrides:
      isPEI in class SSAInstruction
      Returns:
      true iff this instruction may throw an exception.

    • hasDef

      public boolean hasDef()
      Description copied from class: SSAInstruction
      Does this instruction define a normal value, as distinct from a set of exceptions possibly thrown by it (e.g. for invoke instructions).
      Overrides:
      hasDef in class SSAInstruction
      Returns:
      true if the instruction does define a proper value.

    • getDef

      public int getDef(int i)
      Description copied from class: SSAInstruction
      Return the ith def
      Overrides:
      getDef in class SSAInstruction
      Parameters:
      i - number of the def, starting at 0.

    • getNumberOfDefs

      public int getNumberOfDefs()
      Overrides:
      getNumberOfDefs in class SSAInstruction

    • isFallThrough

      public boolean isFallThrough()
      Specified by:
      isFallThrough in class SSAInstruction
      Returns:
      true iff this instruction may fall through to the next
