4.3.3 Method Descriptors
 
- 
displayDescriptorReturns a human-readable descriptor for this method type, using the canonical names for parameter and return types.- Returns:
- the human-readable descriptor for this method type
 
- 
resolveConstantDescResolves this descriptor reflectively, emulating the resolution behavior of JVMS 5.4.3 and the access control behavior of JVMS 5.4.4. The resolution and access control context is provided by theMethodHandles.Lookupparameter. No caching of the resulting value is performed.- Specified by:
- resolveConstantDescin interface- ConstantDesc
- API Note:
- MethodTypeDesc can represent method type descriptors that are not representable by MethodType, such as methods with more than 255 parameter slots, so attempts to resolve these may result in errors.
- Parameters:
- lookup- The- MethodHandles.Lookupto provide name resolution and access control context
- Returns:
- the resolved constant value
- Throws:
- ReflectiveOperationException- if a class, method, or field could not be reflectively resolved in the course of resolution
 
- 
equalsCompares the specified object with this descriptor for equality. Returnstrueif and only if the specified object is also a MethodTypeDesc both have the same arity, their return types are equal, and each pair of corresponding parameter types are equal.
