List of Java bytecode instructions

This is a list of the instructions that make up the Java bytecode, an abstract machine language that is ultimately executed by the Java virtual machine. The Java bytecode is generated from languages running on the Java Platform, most notably the Java programming language.

Note that any referenced "value" refers to a 32-bit int as per the Java instruction set.

• Jazelle DBX (Direct Bytecode eXecution), a feature that executes some Java bytecodes in hardware, on some ARM9 CPUs
• Common Intermediate Language (CIL), a similar bytecode specification that runs on the CLR of the .NET Framework
