Constructor Detail

Field

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

Field

public Field(int access_flags, int name_index, int signature_index, Attribute[] attributes, ConstantPool constant_pool)

Parameters: access_flags Access rights of field name_index Points to field name in constant pool signature_index Points to encoded signature attributes Collection of attributes 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.

Parameters: v Visitor object

copy

public final Field copy(ConstantPool constant_pool)

Returns: deep copy of this field

getConstantValue

public final ConstantValue getConstantValue()

Returns: constant value associated with this field (may be null)

getType

public Type getType()

Returns: type of field

toString

public final String toString()
Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static final short MAX = 100', e.g..

Returns: String representation of field, including the signature.
