Interface FieldInstruction

All Superinterfaces:

ClassFileElement, CodeElement, Instruction

public sealed interface FieldInstruction
extends Instruction

Models a field access instruction in the code array of a Code attribute. Corresponding opcodes will have a kind of Opcode.Kind.FIELD_ACCESS. Delivered as a CodeElement when traversing the elements of a CodeModel.
