Interface ConstantDynamicEntry
- All Superinterfaces:
- DynamicConstantPoolEntry,- LoadableConstantEntry,- PoolEntry
public sealed interface ConstantDynamicEntry
extends DynamicConstantPoolEntry, LoadableConstantEntry
Models a 
 where 
CONSTANT_Dynamic_info structure, representing a dynamically-computed constant, in the constant pool of a 
 class file.
 
 The use of a ConstantDynamicEntry is modeled by a DynamicConstantDesc.  Conversions are through asSymbol() and ConstantPoolBuilder.constantDynamicEntry(DynamicConstantDesc).
 
A dynamic constant entry is composite:
ConstantDynamicEntry(
    BootstrapMethodEntry bootstrap,
    NameAndTypeEntry nameAndType
)
nameAndType.type() is a field descriptor string.- API Note:
- A dynamically-computed constant is frequently called a dynamic constant, or a condy, from the abbreviation of "constant dynamic".

Method Details- 
typeSymbolReturns a symbolic descriptor for the field type of this dynamically-computed constant.- Returns:
- a symbolic descriptor for the field type of this dynamically-computed constant
 
- 
constantValueReturns a symbolic descriptor of this constant.This is equivalent to asSymbol().- Specified by:
- constantValuein interface- LoadableConstantEntry
- Returns:
- a symbolic descriptor of this constant
- See Also:
 
- 
asSymbolReturns a symbolic descriptor for this dynamically-computed constant.- Returns:
- a symbolic descriptor for this dynamically-computed constant
- See Also:
 
- 
typeKindReturns the data type of this constant.If the data type is of category 2, this constant must be loaded with ldc2_w; otherwise, the data type is of category 1, and this constant must be loaded withldcorldc_w.- Specified by:
- typeKindin interface- LoadableConstantEntry
- API Note:
- The data type of a dynamically-computed constant depends on its descriptor, while the data type of all other constants can be determined by their constant type.
- Returns:
- the data type of this constant
