All Implemented Interfaces:

```
public enum DispatchResult
extends Enum<DispatchResult>
```
Outcome of dispatching a single instruction, directing the interpreter's next action.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ATHROW`	An `athrow` was executed; the thrown reference is on the stack and needs handler lookup.
`BRANCH`	Control transfers to the branch target the dispatcher left on the context.
`CHECKCAST`	A cast check was performed; the dispatcher already applied it, so no follow-up is needed.
`CONTINUE`	The instruction finished in place and the program counter already advanced; nothing more is owed by the interpreter.
`FIELD_GET`	A field read is pending and must be serviced against the heap before execution resumes.
`FIELD_PUT`	A field write is pending and must be serviced against the heap before execution resumes.
`INSTANCEOF`	A type test was performed; the dispatcher already pushed its result.
`INVOKE`	A call was reached; the interpreter must resolve the target and push a new frame.
`NEW_ARRAY`	An array must be allocated, covering the primitive, reference, and multi-dimensional forms.
`NEW_OBJECT`	An instance must be allocated for the pending `new`, before its constructor runs.
`RETURN`	The current frame completes and hands its return value, if any, to the caller.
`THROW`	The interpreter must raise an exception it detected itself, such as a division by zero, rather than one the code threw explicitly.

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static DispatchResult[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (DispatchResult c : DispatchResult.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static DispatchResult valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
