System.Reflection.Emit.OpCodes.Ldloca Field

Loads the address of the local variable at a specific index onto the evaluation stack.

Syntax

public static readonly OpCode Ldloca

Remarks

The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:

FE OD < unsigned int16 >

ldloca index

Loads the address of the local variable at index onto the evaluation stack.

The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:

[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]

The ldloca 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 following ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode) method overload can use the ldloca opcode:

  • ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, short)
