Class StatementWriter

java.lang.Object
org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.asm.StatementWriter
Direct Known Subclasses:
OptimizingStatementWriter, StaticTypesStatementWriter
public class StatementWriter extends Object
Generates bytecode for Groovy statements by visiting AST statement nodes and emitting corresponding JVM instructions via the WriterController. Handles control flow (loops, branches, try/catch), synchronization, assertions, and expression statements.

  • Field Details

    • controller

      protected final WriterController controller
      The controller coordinating all bytecode writers for the current class.

  • Constructor Details

    • StatementWriter

      public StatementWriter(WriterController controller)
      Creates a statement writer backed by the given controller.
      Parameters:
      controller - the writer controller for the current compilation

  • Method Details

    • writeStatementLabel

      protected void writeStatementLabel(Statement statement)
      Emits bytecode labels for any statement labels attached to statement. Called before emitting the body of every statement so that named labels (break foo / continue foo) resolve correctly.
      Parameters:
      statement - the statement whose labels should be emitted

    • writeBlockStatement

      public void writeBlockStatement(BlockStatement block)
      Generates bytecode for a block statement by visiting each contained statement. Pushes the block's variable scope, emits the statements, and pops afterward. Named labels on the block create a breakable region so that break label within the block jumps to the end of it.
      Parameters:
      block - the block statement to compile

    • writeForStatement

      public void writeForStatement(ForStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a for statement. Delegates to writeForLoopWithClosureList(org.codehaus.groovy.ast.stmt.ForStatement) for C-style loops (using a ClosureListExpression), or to writeForInLoop(org.codehaus.groovy.ast.stmt.ForStatement) for for-in loops.
      Parameters:
      statement - the for statement to compile

    • writeForInLoop

      protected void writeForInLoop(ForStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a for-in loop by calling iterator() on the collection expression and delegating loop control to writeForInLoopControlAndBlock(org.codehaus.groovy.ast.stmt.ForStatement).
      Parameters:
      statement - the for-in statement to compile

    • writeForInLoopControlAndBlock

      protected void writeForInLoopControlAndBlock(ForStatement statement)
      Emits the loop-control structure and body for a for-in loop. Assumes the iterator object is already on the operand stack. Declares loop variables, emits the hasNext/next check-and-advance, generates the loop body, and handles index-variable increment when present.
      Parameters:
      statement - the for-in statement whose control and body should be emitted

    • defineLoopIndexVariable

      protected final BytecodeVariable defineLoopIndexVariable(ForStatement statement)

    • writeLoopBackEdge

      protected final void writeLoopBackEdge(org.objectweb.asm.Label continueLabel, boolean bodyMayReachContinue)

    • writeIteratorHasNext

      protected void writeIteratorHasNext(org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor mv)
      Emits the Iterator.hasNext() call via the given visitor. Overrideable so subclasses can substitute a specialized or inlined variant.
      Parameters:
      mv - the method visitor to write to

    • writeIteratorNext

      protected void writeIteratorNext(org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor mv)
      Emits the Iterator.next() call via the given visitor. Overrideable so subclasses can substitute a specialized or inlined variant.
      Parameters:
      mv - the method visitor to write to

    • writeForLoopWithClosureList

      protected void writeForLoopWithClosureList(ForStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a C-style for(init; cond; incr) loop. The collection expression is a ClosureListExpression whose middle element is the boolean condition, lower elements are initializers, and upper elements are incrementors.
      Parameters:
      statement - the for statement with a ClosureListExpression collection

    • writeWhileLoop

      public void writeWhileLoop(WhileStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a while loop.
      Parameters:
      statement - the while statement to compile

    • writeDoWhileLoop

      public void writeDoWhileLoop(DoWhileStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a do-while loop.
      Parameters:
      statement - the do-while statement to compile

    • writeIfElse

      public void writeIfElse(IfStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for an if/else statement.
      Parameters:
      statement - the if statement to compile

    • writeTryCatchFinally

      public void writeTryCatchFinally(TryCatchStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a try/catch/finally statement. Handles exception table registration, finally-block inlining at every exit path, and a catch-all rethrow for exceptions not handled by any catch clause.
      Parameters:
      statement - the try/catch/finally statement to compile

    • writeSwitch

      public void writeSwitch(SwitchStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a switch statement. Each case expression is compared using Groovy's isCase operator, so non-integer switch expressions are supported.
      Parameters:
      statement - the switch statement to compile

    • writeBreak

      public void writeBreak(BreakStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a break statement, applying any intervening finally blocks before the jump.
      Parameters:
      statement - the break statement to compile

    • writeContinue

      public void writeContinue(ContinueStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a continue statement, applying any intervening finally blocks before the jump.
      Parameters:
      statement - the continue statement to compile

    • writeSynchronized

      public void writeSynchronized(SynchronizedStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a synchronized statement. Stores the monitor object in a local variable, emits MONITORENTER/MONITOREXIT guards, and registers a catch-all exception handler that exits the monitor before rethrowing.
      Parameters:
      statement - the synchronized statement to compile

    • writeAssert

      public void writeAssert(AssertStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for an assert statement.
      Parameters:
      statement - the assert statement to compile

    • writeThrow

      public void writeThrow(ThrowStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a throw statement. Casts the expression to Throwable and emits ATHROW.
      Parameters:
      statement - the throw statement to compile

    • writeReturn

      public void writeReturn(ReturnStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for a return statement. For void methods emits RETURN after applying any finally blocks. For value-returning methods evaluates the expression, casts it to the declared return type, and emits the appropriate typed return instruction.
      Parameters:
      statement - the return statement to compile

    • writeExpressionStatement

      public void writeExpressionStatement(ExpressionStatement statement)
      Generates bytecode for an expression statement. Evaluates the expression and discards any value left on the operand stack. Marks method-call and binary expressions so that unused return values are elided rather than boxed.
      Parameters:
      statement - the expression statement to compile
