Method Detail

encode

public int encode(Instr i,
                  byte[] buffer,
                  int offset)

The encode() method translates an assembly instruction into a sequence of bytes and writes them into an array. This method returns the number of bytes written into the array, which depends on the size of the instruction.

Parameters:

i - the instruction to encode into the array

buffer - an array of bytes into which to encode the instruction

offset - the offset in the buffer to which to write the bytes

Returns:

the number of bytes written into the array, which is equal to the size of the instruction
