getstatic2_quick

Get static field from class

Bytecode

Type Description
u1 getstatic2_quick opcode = 0xD4 (212)
u2 index

Stack ..., => ..., value.word1, value.word2

Description

The unsigned index is used to access to field entry, a reference to a class name and a field name. If the field is protected, then it must be either a member of the current class or a member of a superclass of the current class.

The item is resolved, determining both the class field and its width. The value of the class field is fetched and pushed onto the operand stack.

Notes

The opcode of this instruction was originally getstatic, operating on a class field determined dynamically to be two words wide. The operands of the getstatic instruction are not modified. There is no equivalent to the getfield2_quick instruction, storing a class offset as an instruction operand, for two-word static fields.
