dload_<n>

dload_0 or dload_1 or dload_2 or dload_3 Stack

Retrieves the double-precision float stored in local variables <n> and <n> + 1 and pushes it onto the operand stack. Both <n> and <n> + 1 must be valid local variable numbers in the current frame, and together they must be holding a double.

See the description of dload for more information on how doubles are retrieved from local variables.

'dload_<n>' is functionally equivalent to 'dload <n>', although it is typically more efficient and also takes fewer bytes in the bytecode.

Example

dload_0 ; push double in local variables 0 and 1 onto stack dload_1 ; push double in local variables 1 and 2 onto stack dload_2 ; push double in local variables 2 and 3 onto stack dload_3 ; push double in local variables 3 and 4 onto stack Bytecode
