public abstract class IndirectCallNode
extends Node

Represents an indirect call to a CallTarget. Indirect calls are calls for which the CallTarget may change dynamically for each consecutive call. This part of the Truffle API enables the runtime system to perform additional optimizations on indirect calls. Please note: This class is not intended to be sub classed by guest language implementations.
