C# in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

OpCode

Synopsis

This structure describes a single MSIL instruction. It is used by the ILGenerator.Emit( ) method. Alternatively, use a field from the OpCodes class to supply a specific instruction without needing to create an OpCode object. Instructions are characterized by several pieces of information, represented as properties, such as OpCode, Operand, and flow control.

public struct OpCode {
// Public Instance Properties
   public FlowControl FlowControl{get; }
   public string Name{get; }
   public OpCodeType OpCodeType{get; }
   public OperandType OperandType{get; }
   public int Size{get; }
   public StackBehaviour StackBehaviourPop{get; }
   public StackBehaviour StackBehaviourPush{get; }
   public short Value{get; }
// Public Instance Methods
   public override bool Equals(object obj);          
// overrides ValueType
   public override int GetHashCode( );    
// overrides ValueType
   public override string ToString( );    
// overrides ValueType
}
