28: getstatic #4 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;

31: iload_3

32: invokevirtual #5 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(I)V

35: return

Arguments are passed to the other function in the stack, and the return value is left onTOS.

4.1.10 Bitfields.

All bit-wise operations work just like in any otherISA:

public static int set (int a, int b)

{

return a | 1<<b;

}

public static int clear (int a, int b)

{

return a & (~(1<<b));

}

public static int set(int, int);

flags: ACC_PUBLIC, ACC_STATIC

Code:

stack=3, locals=2, args_size=2

0: iload_0

1: iconst_1

2: iload_1

3: ishl

4: ior

5: ireturn

public static int clear(int, int);

flags: ACC_PUBLIC, ACC_STATIC

Code:

stack=3, locals=2, args_size=2

0: iload_0

1: iconst_1

2: iload_1

3: ishl

4: iconst_m1

5: ixor

6: iand

7: ireturn

iconst_m1loads− 1 in the stack, it’s the same as the0xFFFFFFFFnumber.

XORing with0xFFFFFFFFhas the same effect of inverting all bits (2.6 on page 461).

Let’s extend all data types to 64-bitlong:

public static long lset (long a, int b)

{

return a | 1<<b;

}
