wide :
next instruction uses 16-bit index : index :
- Description
- wide is placed in front of an instruction that accesses a local
variable. You use it to extend the range of local variables available to the
instruction from 8 bits (i.e. 0-255) to 16 bits (i.e. 0-65535). In addition,
for iinc, it increases the increment range. wide is used in
conjunction with one of the following opcodes: aload, dload,
iload, fload, lload, astore,
dstore, istore, fstore, lstore,
iinc and ret. See the reference pages of those instructions
for more details.
- Notes
- The opcode that follows wide cannot be the target of a branch.
