| <h1>return</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Purpose</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Return from a single-width (32-bit) non-object value-returning method. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>Details</h2> |
| |
| <table class="instruc"> |
| <thead> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Op & Format</th> |
| <th>Mnemonic / Syntax</th> |
| <th>Arguments</th> |
| </tr> |
| </thead> |
| <tbody> |
| <tr> |
| <td>0f 11x</td> |
| <td>return vAA</td> |
| <td><code>A:</code> return value register (8 bits)</td> |
| </tr> |
| </tbody> |
| </table> |
| |
| <h2>Constraints</h2> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| The return type of the current method must not be double, long, or a |
| reference. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| A must be a valid register index in the current stack frame. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Register vA must not be part of a register pair. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The type of vA must match the return type of the method. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Behavior</h2> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| If the method is synchronized, the object's monitor is released in a way |
| similar to the monitor-exit instruction. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The stack frame of the current method invocation is removed from the stack. |
| This includes all its registers becoming invalid. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| If the stack is now empty, the current thread terminates. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Otherwise, the following happens: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| The stack frame that caused this method invocation becomes valid. This |
| includes all its registers and their old values. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Execution continues at the bytecode instruction immediately following |
| the invoke-kind or invoke-kind/range instruction that caused this |
| method invocation. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The return value can be consumed by (exactly) the first instruction |
| following the invoke-kind or invoke-kind/range instruction that caused |
| this method invocation, and this instructions needs to be a move-result |
| instruction. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
