aload_<n>

aload_<n>

Forms aload_0 = 42 (0x2a)

aload_1 = 43 (0x2b)

aload_2 = 44 (0x2c)

aload_3 = 45 (0x2d)

Stack ... ..., objectref

Description The <n> must be a valid index into the local variables of the current frame (§3.6). The local variable at <n> must contain a reference. The objectref in the local variable at index is pushed onto the operand stack.

Notes An aload_<n> instruction cannot be used to load a value of type returnAddress from a local variable onto the operand stack. This asymmetry with the corresponding astore_<n> instruction is intentional. Each of the aload_<n> instructions is the same as aload with an index of <n>, except that the operand <n> is implicit.
