Operation Load short from array

saload


Forms saload = 53 (0x35)

Stack ..., arrayref, index ..., value

Description The arrayref must be of type reference and must refer to an array whose components are of type short. The index must be of type int. Both arrayref and index are popped from the operand stack. The short value in the component of the array at index is retrieved, sign-extended to an int value, and pushed onto the top of the operand stack.

Runtime Exceptions If arrayref is null, saload throws a NullPointerException.

Otherwise, if index is not within the bounds of the array referenced by arrayref, the saload instruction throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
