public final class TIBConstantOperand
extends ConstantOperand

Represents a constant TIB operand, found for example, from an ObjectConstantOperand.

NB: we don't use an object constant operand because:

  1. TIBs don't form part of the object literals
  2. Loads on the contents of a TIB can be turned into constant moves, whereas for arrays in general this isn't the case.

NB: we don't use TypeOperand as the type of the operand is RVMType, whereas a TIBs type is Object[].
