    - #### target

          @Deprecated
          protected InstructionHandle target

      Deprecated. (since 6.0) will be made private; do not access directly, use getter/setter

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### BranchInstruction

          protected BranchInstruction(short opcode,
                                      InstructionHandle target)

      Common super constructor
      Parameters:
        `opcode` - Instruction opcode
        `target` - instruction to branch to

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### dump

          public void dump(DataOutputStream out)
                    throws IOException

      Dump instruction as byte code to stream out.
      Overrides:
        `dump` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `out` - Output stream
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### getTargetOffset

          protected int getTargetOffset(InstructionHandle _target)

      Parameters:
        `_target` - branch target
      Returns:
        the offset to `target' relative to this instruction

    - #### getTargetOffset

          protected int getTargetOffset()

      Returns:
        the offset to this instruction's target

    - #### updatePosition

          protected int updatePosition(int offset,
                                       int max_offset)

      Called by InstructionList.setPositions when setting the position for every instruction. In the presence of variable length instructions `setPositions' performs multiple passes over the instruction list to calculate the correct (byte) positions and offsets by calling this function.
      Parameters:
        `offset` - additional offset caused by preceding (variable length) instructions
        `max_offset` - the maximum offset that may be caused by these instructions
      Returns:
        additional offset caused by possible change of this instruction's length

    - #### toString

          public String toString(boolean verbose)

      Long output format: <position in byte code> <name of opcode> "["<opcode number>"]" "("<length of instruction>")" "<"<target instruction>">" "@"<branch target offset>
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `verbose` - long/short format switch
      Returns:
        mnemonic for instruction

    - #### initFromFile

          protected void initFromFile(ByteSequence bytes,

                               throws IOException

      Read needed data (e.g. index) from file. Conversion to a InstructionHandle is done in InstructionList(byte[]).
      Overrides:
        `initFromFile` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `bytes` - input stream
        `wide` - wide prefix?
