Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static <E extends Enum<E>> Enum.EnumDesc<E>`	`of(ClassDesc enumClass, String constantName)`	Returns a nominal descriptor for the specified `enum` class and name

Methods declared in class DynamicConstantDesc

bootstrapArgs, bootstrapArgsList, bootstrapMethod, constantName, constantType, equals, hashCode, of, of, ofCanonical, ofNamed, resolveConstantDesc, toString

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`ConstantDesc[]`	`bootstrapArgs()`	Returns the bootstrap arguments for this constant.
`List<ConstantDesc>`	`bootstrapArgsList()`	Returns the bootstrap arguments for this constant as an immutable `List`.
`DirectMethodHandleDesc`	`bootstrapMethod()`	Returns a `MethodHandleDesc` describing the bootstrap method for this constant.
`String`	`constantName()`	Returns the name that would appear in the `NameAndType` operand of the `LDC` for this constant.
`ClassDesc`	`constantType()`	Returns a `ClassDesc` describing the type that would appear in the `NameAndType` operand of the `LDC` for this constant.
`final boolean`	`equals(Object o)`	Compares the specified object with this descriptor for equality.
`final int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code value for this object.
`static <T> DynamicConstantDesc<T>`	`of(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod)`	Returns a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant whose bootstrap has no static arguments, whose name parameter is `ConstantDescs.DEFAULT_NAME`, and whose type parameter is always the same as the bootstrap method return type.
`static <T> DynamicConstantDesc<T>`	`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`	`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>`	`ofNamed(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String constantName, ClassDesc constantType, ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)`	Returns a nominal descriptor for a dynamic constant.
`E`	`resolveConstantDesc(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup)`	Resolves this descriptor reflectively, emulating the resolution behavior of JVMS Â§5.4.3 and the access control behavior of JVMS Â§5.4.4.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns a compact textual description of this constant description, including the bootstrap method, the constant name and type, and the static bootstrap arguments.

Methods declared in class Object

clone, finalize, getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`protected void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
