Class CodeAttr

java.lang.Object
  gnu.bytecode.Attribute
      gnu.bytecode.CodeAttr

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttrContainer

public class CodeAttr
extends Attribute
implements AttrContainer

Represents the contents of a standard "Code" attribute.

Most of the actual methods that generate bytecode operation are in this class (typically with names starting with emit), though there are also some in Method.

Note that a CodeAttr is an Attribute of a Method, and can in turn contain other Attributes, such as a LineNumbersAttr.
