saload

Load short from array

Bytecode

Type Description
u1 saload opcode = 0x35 (53)

Stack ..., arrayref, index => ..., value

Description

The arrayref must be of type reference and must refer to an array whose components are of type short.

The index must be of type int. Both arrayref and index are popped from the operand stack.

The short value in the component of the array at index is retrieved, sign-extended to an int value, and pushed onto the top of the operand stack.

Example

; This is like the Java code:
;      short x = arr[0];
; where x is local variable 2 and arr is
; an array in local variable 1
aload_1       ; load local variable 1 onto the stack
iconst_0      ; push the integer 0 onto the stack
saload        ; retrieve the entry
istore_2      ; store the entry in local variable 2

Exceptions

NullPointerException - arrayref is null

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - index is < 0 or >= arrayref.length
