## Class ConstantValue

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.bcel.classfile.Attribute
  - - org.apache.bcel.classfile.ConstantValue

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, Node

      public final class ConstantValue
      extends Attribute

  This class is derived from Attribute and represents a constant value, i.e., a default value for initializing a class field. This class is instantiated by the Attribute.readAttribute() method.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ConstantValue

          public ConstantValue(ConstantValue c)

      Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use clone() for a physical copy.

    - #### ConstantValue

          public ConstantValue(int name_index,
                               int length,
                               int constantvalue_index,
                               ConstantPool constant_pool)

      Parameters:
        `name_index` - Name index in constant pool
        `length` - Content length in bytes
        `constantvalue_index` - Index in constant pool
        `constant_pool` - Array of constants

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          public void accept(Visitor v)

      Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
      Specified by:
        `accept` in interface `Node`
      Specified by:
        `accept` in class `Attribute`
      Parameters:
        `v` - Visitor object

    - #### dump

          public final void dump(DataOutputStream file)
                          throws IOException

      Dump constant value attribute to file stream on binary format.
      Overrides:
        `dump` in class `Attribute`
      Parameters:
        `file` - Output file stream
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### getConstantValueIndex

          public final int getConstantValueIndex()

      Returns:
        Index in constant pool of constant value.

    - #### setConstantValueIndex

          public final void setConstantValueIndex(int constantvalue_index)

      Parameters:
        `constantvalue_index` - the index info the constant pool of this constant value

    - #### toString

          public final String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Attribute`
      Returns:
        String representation of constant value.

    - #### copy

          public Attribute copy(ConstantPool _constant_pool)

      Specified by:
        `copy` in class `Attribute`
      Returns:
        deep copy of this attribute
