- PUSH, SWITCH
public interface CompoundInstruction
Wrapper class for `compound' operations, virtual instructions that don't exist as byte code, but give a useful
meaning. For example, the (virtual) PUSH instruction takes an arbitray argument and produces the appropriate code at
dump time (ICONST, LDC, BIPUSH, ...). Also you can use the SWITCH instruction as a useful template for either
LOOKUPSWITCH or TABLESWITCH.
The interface provides the possibilty for the user to write `templates' or `macros' for such reuseable code patterns.
