All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Node

public final class Field
extends FieldOrMethod

This class represents the field info structure, that is, the representation for a variable in the class. See JVM specification for details.

Field Details

EMPTY_ARRAY

public static final Field[] EMPTY_ARRAY

Empty array constant.

Since:

6.6.0

Constructor Details

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.

Parameters:

c - Source to copy.

Field

public Field(int accessFlags,
 int nameIndex,
 int signatureIndex,
 Attribute[] attributes,
 ConstantPool constantPool)

Constructs a Field.

Parameters:

accessFlags - Access rights of field.

nameIndex - Points to field name in constant pool.

signatureIndex - Points to encoded signature.

attributes - Collection of attributes.

constantPool - Array of constants.

Method Details

getComparator

public static BCELComparator<Field> getComparator()

Gets the comparison strategy object.

Returns:

Comparison strategy object.

setComparator

public static void setComparator(BCELComparator<Field> comparator)

Sets the comparison strategy object.

Parameters:

comparator - Comparison strategy object.

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)

Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitly 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 Field copy(ConstantPool constantPool)

Creates a deep copy of this field.

Parameters:

constantPool - the constant pool.

Returns:

deep copy of this field.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Return value as defined by given BCELComparator strategy. By default two Field objects are said to be equal when their names and signatures are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

See Also:

• Object.equals(Object)

getConstantValue

public ConstantValue getConstantValue()

Gets the constant value associated with this field.

Returns:

constant value associated with this field (may be null).

getType

public Type getType()

See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.2.2

Returns:

type of field.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Return value as defined by given BCELComparator strategy. By default return the hash code of the field's name XOR signature.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

See Also:

• Object.hashCode()

toString

public String toString()

Return string representation close to declaration format, for example: 'public static final short MAX = 100'.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

String representation of field, including the signature.
