Module io.smallrye.classfile

Package io.smallrye.classfile.constantpool

Interface LoadableConstantEntry

All Superinterfaces:

PoolEntry

All Known Subinterfaces:

ClassEntry, ConstantDynamicEntry, ConstantValueEntry, DoubleEntry, FloatEntry, IntegerEntry, LongEntry, MethodHandleEntry, MethodTypeEntry, StringEntry

public sealed interface LoadableConstantEntry
extends PoolEntry
permits ClassEntry, ConstantDynamicEntry, ConstantValueEntry, MethodHandleEntry, MethodTypeEntry

Marker interface for constant pool entries suitable for loading via the ldc instructions.

The use of a LoadableConstantEntry is modeled by a ConstantDesc. Conversions are through ConstantPoolBuilder.loadableConstantEntry(ConstantDesc) and constantValue().

Method Details

constantValue

ConstantDesc constantValue()

Returns a symbolic descriptor of this constant.

Returns:

a symbolic descriptor of this constant
