Method Details

isDefined

boolean isDefined()

Indicates if this type initializer is defined.

Returns:

true if this type initializer is defined.

expandWith

TypeInitializer expandWith(ByteCodeAppender byteCodeAppender)

Expands this type initializer with another byte code appender. For this to be possible, this type initializer must be defined.

Parameters:

byteCodeAppender - The byte code appender to apply as the type initializer.

Returns:

A defined type initializer.

wrap

TypeWriter.MethodPool.Record wrap(TypeWriter.MethodPool.Record record)

Creates a method pool record that applies this type initializer while preserving the record that was supplied.

Parameters:

record - The record to wrap.

Returns:

A new record that represents the supplied record while also executing this type initializer.
