Class ClassConstantInstruction


  • public class ClassConstantInstruction
    extends java.lang.Object
    Pseudo-instruction used to place Class objects onto the stack. This logical instruction may actually involve a large chunk of code, and may even add static synthetic fields and methods to the owning class. Therefore, once the type of class being loaded is set, it cannot be changed. Also, this instruction is invalid as the target of any jump instruction or exception handler.
