Appendix C
Mapping between Metrics and
Java Bytecode
Table C.1 shows the list of metrics where the the Java Virtual Machine
opcodes are used to compute the value.
Abbv. Name Opcodes Used
THC Throw Count ATHROW
MCC Method Call Count INVOKEINTERFACE, INVOICESPECIAL,
INVOICESTATIC, INVOICEVIRTUAL
OOC Instance Of Check Count INSTANCEOF
CAC Check Cast Count CHECKCAST
TCC Type Construction Count NEW, NEWARRAY, MULTINEWARRAY
CLC Constant Load Count LDC
PLC Primitive Load Count ILOAD, FLOAD, DLOAD
PSC Primitive Store Count ISTORE, FLOAD, DSTORE
ALC Array Load Count AALOAD, BALOAD, CALOAD, DALOAD,
FALOAD, IALOAD, SALOAD, LALOAD
ASC Array Store Count AASTORE, BASTORE, CASTORE, DASTORE,
FASTORE, IASTORE, SASTORE, LASTORE

IOC Increment Operation IINC
Count
NOB Branch Count GOTO, GOTO_W, ATHROW
GTC Goto Count GOTO, GOTO_W
Table C.1: Metrics are computed by processing opcodes inside method
bodies of each class.
