public final class ConstantValue
extends Attribute

This class is derived from Attribute and represents a constant value, i.e., a default value for initializing a class field. This class is instantiated by the Attribute.readAttribute() method.

Constructor Detail

### ConstantValue

    public ConstantValue(ConstantValue c)

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

### ConstantValue

    public ConstantValue(int name_index,
                         int length,
                         int constantvalue_index,
                         ConstantPool constant_pool)

Parameters:
  `name_index` - Name index in constant pool
  `length` - Content length in bytes
  `constantvalue_index` - Index in constant pool
  `constant_pool` - Array of constants

Method Detail

### 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.

  Specified by:
    `accept` in interface `Node`
  Specified by:
    `accept` in class `Attribute`
  Parameters:
    `v` - Visitor object

### dump

    public final void dump(java.io.DataOutputStream file)
                    throws java.io.IOException

  Dump constant value attribute to file stream on binary format.

  Overrides:
    `dump` in class `Attribute`
  Parameters:
    `file` - Output file stream
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getConstantValueIndex

    public final int getConstantValueIndex()

  Returns:
    Index in constant pool of constant value.

### setConstantValueIndex

    public final void setConstantValueIndex(int constantvalue_index)

### toString

    public final java.lang.String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Attribute`
  Returns:
    String representation of constant value.

### copy

    public Attribute copy(ConstantPool constant_pool)

  Specified by:
    `copy` in class `Attribute`
  Returns:
    deep copy of this attribute
