InstructionFinder is a tool to search for given instructions patterns, i.e., match sequences of instructions in an instruction list via regular expressions. This can be used, e.g., in order to implement a peep hole optimizer that looks for code patterns and replaces them with faster equivalents.

This class internally uses the Regexp package to search for regular expressions. A typical application would look like this:

InstructionFinder f   = new InstructionFinder(il);
String            pat = "IfInstruction ICONST_0 GOTO ICONST_1 NOP (IFEQ|IFNE)";
for(Iterator i = f.search(pat, constraint); i.hasNext(); ) {
InstructionHandle[] match = (InstructionHandle[])i.next();
...
il.delete(match[1], match[5]);
...
}

Search for the given pattern in the instruction list. You can search for any valid opcode via its symbolic name, e.g. "istore". You can also use a super class or an interface name to match a whole set of instructions, e.g. "BranchInstruction" or "LoadInstruction". "istore" is also an alias for all "istore_x" instructions. Additional aliases are "if" for "ifxx", "if_icmp" for "if_icmpxx", "if_acmp" for "if_acmpxx". Consecutive instruction names must be separated by white space which will be removed during the compilation of the pattern. For the rest the usual pattern matching rules for regular expressions apply.

Example pattern:

search("BranchInstruction NOP ((IfInstruction|GOTO)+ ISTORE Instruction)*");

If you alter the instruction list upon a match such that other matching areas are affected, you should call reread() to update the finder and call search() again, because the matches are cached.

Params:
  • pattern – the instruction pattern to search for, where case is ignored
  • from – where to start the search in the instruction list
  • constraint – optional CodeConstraint to check the found code pattern for user-defined constraints
Returns:iterator of matches where e.nextElement() returns an array of instruction handles describing the matched area
