OpenJDK 27 · java.lang.classfile.instruction.ReturnInstruction

Models a return-from-method instruction in the code array of a Code attribute. Corresponding opcodes have a kind of Opcode.Kind#RETURN. Delivered as a CodeElement when traversing the elements of a CodeModel.

A return-from-method instruction is composite:

ReturnInstruction(TypeKind typeKind)

where typeKind is computational or void.

public static ReturnInstruction	Returns: a return instruction of(TypeKind the type of the return instruction typeKind) Returns a return instruction.
public static ReturnInstruction	Returns: a return instruction of(Opcode the opcode for the specific type of return instruction, which must be of kind `Opcode.Kind#RETURN` op) Returns a return instruction.
public TypeKind	Returns: the computational type, including `void`, of the return instruction typeKind() Returns the computational type, including `void`, of the return instruction.
