Packages that use DynamicConstantDesc
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.

Description
`static <T> DynamicConstantDesc<T>`
DynamicConstantDesc.`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>`
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> DynamicConstantDesc<T>`
DynamicConstantDesc.`ofNamed(DirectMethodHandleDesc bootstrapMethod, String constantName, ClassDesc constantType, ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)`
