==== 7.5.5 aload_<n> ====

Load reference from local variable 

Format  

aload_ 

Forms 

aload_0 = 24 (0x18) aload_1 = 25 (0x19) aload_2 = 26 (0x1a) aload_3 = 27 (0x1b) 

Stack 

... -> ..., objectref 

Description 

The  must be a valid index into the local variables of the current frame ([[3.5_Frames| Section 3.5, Frames]]). The local variable at  must contain a reference. The objectref in the local variable at  is pushed onto the operand stack. 

Notes 

An aload_ 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_ instruction is intentional. 

Each of the aload_ instructions is the same as aload with an index of , except that the operand  is implicit.
