public final class Method
extends FieldOrMethod
This class represents the method info structure, i.e. the representation for a method in the class. See JVM specification for details. A method has access flags, a name, a signature and a number of attributes.

Constructor Index

 o Method()
Empty constructor, all attributes have to be defined via `setXXX' methods.
 o Method(int, int, int, Attribute[], ConstantPool)
 o Method(Method)
Initialize from another object.

Method Index

 o accept(Visitor)
Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class.
 o copy(ConstantPool)
 o getCode()
 o getExceptionTable()
 o toString()
Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static int main(String[]) throws IOException', e.g.

Constructors

 o Method
 public Method()
Empty constructor, all attributes have to be defined via `setXXX' methods. Use at your own risk.

 o Method
 public Method(Method c)
Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use clone() for a physical copy.

 o Method
 public Method(int access_flags,
               int name_index,
               int signature_index,
               Attribute attributes[],
               ConstantPool constant_pool)
Parameters:
access_flags - Access rights of method
name_index - Points to field name in constant pool
signature_index - Points to encoded signature
attributes - Collection of attributes
constant_pool - Array of constants

Methods

 o accept
 public void accept(Visitor v)
Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.

Parameters:
v - Visitor object
 o getCode
 public final Code getCode()
Returns:
Code attribute of method, if any
 o getExceptionTable
 public final ExceptionTable getExceptionTable()
Returns:
ExceptionTable attribute of method, if any, i.e. list all exceptions the method may throw not exception handlers!
 o toString
 public final String toString()
Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static int main(String[]) throws IOException', e.g.

Returns:
String representation of the method.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
 o copy
 public final Method copy(ConstantPool constant_pool)
Returns:
deep copy of this method
