Instances of this class give users a handle to the instructions contained in an InstructionList. Instruction objects may be used more than once within a list, this is useful because it saves memory and may be much faster. Within an InstructionList an InstructionHandle object is wrapped around all instructions, i.e., it implements a cell in a doubly-linked list. From the outside only the next and the previous instruction (handle) are accessible. One can traverse the list via an Enumeration returned by InstructionList.elements().

Temporarily swap the current instruction, without disturbing anything. Meant to be used by a debugger, implementing breakpoints. Current instruction is returned.

Warning: if this is used on a BranchHandle then some methods such as getPosition() will still refer to the original cached instruction, whereas other BH methods may affect the cache and the replacement instruction.

Called by InstructionList.setPositions when setting the position for every instruction. In the presence of variable length instructions `setPositions()' performs multiple passes over the instruction list to calculate the correct (byte) positions and offsets by calling this function.
Params:
  • offset – additional offset caused by preceding (variable length) instructions
  • max_offset – the maximum offset that may be caused by these instructions
Returns:additional offset caused by possible change of this instruction's length
