Uses of Interface
java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc

Packages that use ConstantDesc

Package	Description
java.lang	Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.lang.constant	Classes and interfaces to represent nominal descriptors for run-time entities such as classes or method handles, and classfile entities such as constant pool entries or invokedynamic call sites.
java.lang.invoke	The java.lang.invoke package provides low-level primitives for interacting with the Java Virtual Machine.

Uses of ConstantDesc in java.lang.constant

Subinterfaces of ConstantDesc in java.lang.constant

interface	DirectMethodHandleDesc	A nominal descriptor for a direct MethodHandle.
interface	MethodHandleDesc	A nominal descriptor for a MethodHandle constant.
interface	MethodTypeDesc	A nominal descriptor for a MethodType constant.

Classes in java.lang.constant that implement ConstantDesc

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	DynamicConstantDesc<T>	A nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant (one described in the constant pool with Constant_Dynamic_info.)

Fields in java.lang.constant declared as ConstantDesc

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static ConstantDesc	ConstantDescs.NULL	Nominal descriptor representing the constant null

Methods in java.lang.constant that return ConstantDesc

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
ConstantDesc[]	DynamicCallSiteDesc.bootstrapArgs()	Returns ConstantDescs describing the bootstrap arguments for the invokedynamic.
ConstantDesc[]	DynamicConstantDesc.bootstrapArgs()	Returns the bootstrap arguments for this constant.
static <T> ConstantDesc	DynamicConstantDesc.ofCanonical(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String constantName, ClassDesc constantType, ConstantDesc[] bootstrapArgs)	Returns a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant, transforming it into a more specific type if the constant bootstrap is a well-known one and a more specific nominal descriptor type (e.g., ClassDesc) is available.

Methods in java.lang.constant that return types with arguments of type ConstantDesc

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
List<ConstantDesc>	DynamicConstantDesc.bootstrapArgsList()	Returns the bootstrap arguments for this constant as an immutable List.
Optional<? extends ConstantDesc>	Constable.describeConstable()	Returns an Optional containing the nominal descriptor for this instance, if one can be constructed, or an empty Optional if one cannot be constructed.

Methods in java.lang.constant with parameters of type ConstantDesc

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static DynamicCallSiteDesc	DynamicCallSiteDesc.of(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String invocationName, MethodTypeDesc invocationType, ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)	Creates a nominal descriptor for an invokedynamic call site.
static <T> DynamicConstantDesc<T>	DynamicConstantDesc.of(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)	Returns a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant whose name parameter is ConstantDescs.DEFAULT_NAME, and whose type parameter is always the same as the bootstrap method return type.
static <T> ConstantDesc	DynamicConstantDesc.ofCanonical(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String constantName, ClassDesc constantType, ConstantDesc[] bootstrapArgs)	Returns a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant, transforming it into a more specific type if the constant bootstrap is a well-known one and a more specific nominal descriptor type (e.g., ClassDesc) is available.
static <T> DynamicConstantDesc<T>	DynamicConstantDesc.ofNamed(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String constantName, ClassDesc constantType, ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)	Returns a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant.
DynamicCallSiteDesc	DynamicCallSiteDesc.withArgs(ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)	Returns a nominal descriptor for an invokedynamic call site whose bootstrap method, name, and invocation type are the same as this one, but with the specified bootstrap arguments.

Constructors in java.lang.constant with parameters of type ConstantDesc

Modifier	Constructor	Description
protected	DynamicConstantDesc(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String constantName, ClassDesc constantType, ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)	Creates a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant.

Uses of ConstantDesc in java.lang.invoke

Classes in java.lang.invoke that implement ConstantDesc

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
static class	VarHandle.VarHandleDesc	A nominal descriptor for a VarHandle constant.
