          org.apache.bcel.generic.CPInstruction
              org.apache.bcel.generic.FieldOrMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Cloneable, IndexedInstruction, LoadClass, TypedInstruction

Direct Known Subclasses:
  FieldInstruction, InvokeInstruction

    public abstract class FieldOrMethod

extends CPInstruction
implements LoadClass

Super class for InvokeInstruction and FieldInstruction, since they have some methods in common!

Field Summary

Fields inherited from class org.apache.bcel.generic.CPInstruction
`index`

Fields inherited from class org.apache.bcel.generic.Instruction
`length, opcode`

Constructor Summary
`protected` `FieldOrMethod(short opcode, int index)`

Method Summary
`String` `getClassName(ConstantPoolGen cpg)` Deprecated. If the instruction references an array class, this method will return "java.lang.Object". For code generated by Java 1.5, this answer is sometimes wrong (e.g., if the "clone()" method is called on an array). A better idea is to use the getReferenceType() method, which correctly distinguishes between class types and array types.
`ObjectType` `getClassType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)` Deprecated. If the instruction references an array class, the ObjectType returned will be invalid. Use getReferenceType() instead.
`ObjectType` `getLoadClassType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)` Returns the ObjectType of the referenced class or interface that may be loaded and resolved.
`String` `getName(ConstantPoolGen cpg)`
`ReferenceType` `getReferenceType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)` Return the reference type representing the class, interface, or array class referenced by the instruction.
`String` `getSignature(ConstantPoolGen cpg)`

Constructor Detail

### FieldOrMethod

    protected FieldOrMethod(short opcode,
                            int index)

Parameters:
  `index` - to constant pool

Method Detail

### getSignature

    public String getSignature(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

  Returns:
    signature of referenced method/field.

### getName

    public String getName(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

  Returns:
    name of referenced method/field.

### getClassName

    public String getClassName(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

  Deprecated. If the instruction references an array class, this method will return "java.lang.Object". For code generated by Java 1.5, this answer is sometimes wrong (e.g., if the "clone()" method is called on an array). A better idea is to use the getReferenceType() method, which correctly distinguishes between class types and array types.

  Returns:
    name of the referenced class/interface

### getClassType

    public ObjectType getClassType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

  Deprecated. If the instruction references an array class, the ObjectType returned will be invalid. Use getReferenceType() instead.

  Returns:
    type of the referenced class/interface

### getReferenceType

    public ReferenceType getReferenceType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

  Return the reference type representing the class, interface, or array class referenced by the instruction.

  Parameters:
    `cpg` - the ConstantPoolGen used to create the instruction
  Returns:
    an ObjectType (if the referenced class type is a class or interface), or an ArrayType (if the referenced class type is an array class)

### getLoadClassType

    public ObjectType getLoadClassType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)

  Description copied from interface: `LoadClass`
  Returns the ObjectType of the referenced class or interface that may be loaded and resolved.

  Specified by:
    `getLoadClassType` in interface `LoadClass`
  Returns:
    type of the referenced class/interface
