Loads the address of the local variable at a specific index onto the evaluation stack, short form.
Syntax
Remarks
The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:
| 12 < unsigned int8 > |
ldloca.s index |
Loads the address of the local variable at index onto the evaluation stack, short form. |
The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:
[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]The ldloca.s instruction pushes the address of the local variable number at the passed index onto the stack, where local variables are numbered 0 onwards. The value pushed on the stack is already aligned correctly for use with instructions like OpCodes.Ldind_I and OpCodes.Stind_I. The result is a transient pointer (type *).
The ldloca.s instruction provides an efficient encoding for use with the local variables 0 through 255.
The following ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode) method overload can use the ldloca.s opcode:
ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, byte)
