#### class BasicBlock extends ProgramPoint[ICodes.BasicBlock]

This class represents a basic block. Each basic block contains a list of instructions that are either executed all, or none. No jumps to/from the "middle" of the basic block are allowed (modulo exceptions).

2. #### final def ##(): Int

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`.

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For `null` returns a hashcode where `null.hashCode` throws a `NullPointerException`.

   returns

     a hash value consistent with ==

5. #### final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

   The expression `x == that` is equivalent to `if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)`.

   The expression `x == that` is equivalent to `if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)`.

   returns

     `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

6. #### def apply(n: Int): ICodes.Instruction

   Return the n-th instruction.

7. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

   Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

   Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

   Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.asInstanceOf[String]` will throw a `ClassCastException` at runtime, while the expression `List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]` will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

   returns

     the receiver object.

   Definition Classes
     Any
   Exceptions thrown

     `ClassCastException` if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type `T0`.

8. #### def blockContents: String

9. #### def clear(): Unit

10. #### def clone(): AnyRef

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    The default implementation of the `clone` method is platform dependent.

    returns

      a copy of the receiver object.

12. #### def closeWith(instr: ICodes.Instruction, pos: Global.Position): Unit

18. #### def emit(is: Seq[ICodes.Instruction]): Unit

19. #### def emit(instr: ICodes.Instruction, pos: Global.Position): Unit

    Emitting does not set touched to true.

    Emitting does not set touched to true. During code generation this is a hotspot and setting the flag for each emit is a waste. Caching should happen only after a block is closed, which sets the DIRTYSUCCS flag.

20. #### def emit(instr: ICodes.Instruction): Unit

    Add a new instruction at the end of the block, using the same source position as the last emitted instruction

21. #### def emitOnly(is: ICodes.Instruction*): Unit

    The semantics of this are a little odd but it's designed to work seamlessly with the existing code.

    The semantics of this are a little odd but it's designed to work seamlessly with the existing code. It emits each supplied instruction, then closes the block. The odd part is that if the instruction has pos == NoPosition, it calls the 1-arg emit, but otherwise it calls the 2-arg emit. This way I could retain existing behavior exactly by calling setPos on any instruction using the two arg version which I wanted to include in a call to emitOnly.

26. #### def enterIgnoreMode(): Unit

    Enter ignore mode: new 'emit'ted instructions will not be added to this basic block.

    Enter ignore mode: new 'emit'ted instructions will not be added to this basic block. It makes the generation of THROW and RETURNs easier.

27. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`that`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`that`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    The `eq` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of `AnyRef`, and has three additional properties:

    - It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`.
    - For any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(null)` and `null.eq(x)` returns `false`.
    - `null.eq(null)` returns `true`.

    When overriding the `equals` or `hashCode` methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (`o1 eq o2`), they should be equal to each other (`o1 == o2`) and they should hash to the same value (`o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

      AnyRef

28. #### def equals(other: Any): Boolean

    The equality method for reference types.

    The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to `eq`.

    See also `equals` in scala.Any.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    The details of when and if the `finalize` method is invoked, as well as the interaction between `finalize` and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

    Return the index of inst.

    Return the index of inst. Uses reference equality. Returns -1 if not found.

46. #### final def isEmpty: Boolean

47. #### final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.isInstanceOf[String]` will return `false`, while the expression `List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` will return `true`. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type `T0`; `false` otherwise.
