@title invoke-direct

@id 112

@desc {

    Call the indicated method. The result (if any) may be stored with an appropriate <b>move-result*</b> variant as the immediately subsequent instruction.

<b>invoke-virtual</b> is used to invoke a normal virtual method (a method that is not <b>private</b>, <b>static</b>, or <b>final</b>, and is also not a constructor).

When the <b>method_id</b> references a method of a non-interface class, <b>invoke-super</b> is used to invoke the closest superclass's virtual method (as opposed to the one with the same <b>method_id</b> in the calling class). The same method restrictions hold as for <b>invoke-virtual</b>.

In Dex files version <b>037</b> or later, if the <b>method_id</b> refers to an interface method, <b>invoke-super</b> is used to invoke the most specific, non-overridden version of that method defined on that interface. The same method restrictions hold as for <b>invoke-virtual</b>. In Dex files prior to version <b>037</b>, having an interface <b>method_id</b> is illegal and undefined.

<b>invoke-direct</b> is used to invoke a non-<b>static</b> direct method (that is, an instance method that is by its nature non-overridable, namely either a <b>private</b> instance method or a constructor).

<b>invoke-static</b> is used to invoke a <b>static</b> method (which is always considered a direct method).

<b>invoke-interface</b> is used to invoke an <b>interface</b> method, that is, on an object whose concrete class isn't known, using a <b>method_id</b> that refers to an <b>interface</b>.

<b>Note:</b> These opbs are reasonable candidates for static linking, altering the method argument to be a more direct offset (or pair thereof).
