Interface MemberRefEntry
- All Superinterfaces:
- PoolEntry
- All Known Subinterfaces:
- FieldRefEntry,- InterfaceMethodRefEntry,- MethodRefEntry
public sealed interface MemberRefEntry
extends PoolEntry
permits FieldRefEntry, InterfaceMethodRefEntry, MethodRefEntry (not exhaustive)
Superinterface modeling symbolic references to a member of a class or interface
 in the constant pool of a 
class file, which include references to
 fields, class methods,
 and interface methods.
 
 Different types of symbolic references to a member of a class or interface
 bear structural similarities and share parts of the resolution processes, and
 they can sometimes appear in the same locations.  For example, both MethodRefEntry and InterfaceMethodRefEntry can appear in an invokestatic instruction.
 
A member reference entry is composite:
MemberRefEntry(
    ClassEntry owner,
    NameAndTypeEntry nameAndType
)

Method Details- 
ownerClassEntry owner()Returns the class or interface which this member belongs to.- Returns:
- the class or interface which this member belongs to
 
- 
nameAndTypeNameAndTypeEntry nameAndType()Returns the name and descriptor string of the member.- Returns:
- the name and descriptor string of the member
 
- 
name
- 
typeReturns the descriptor string of the member. This is a field descriptor string if this entry is aFieldRefEntry, or a method descriptor string if this entry is aMethodRefEntryorInterfaceMethodRefEntry.- API Note:
- Each subinterface defines a typeSymbol()accessor for the symbolic descriptor for the member type.
- Returns:
- the descriptor string of the member
