Class ClassConstantInstruction

java.lang.Object
serp.bytecode.ClassConstantInstruction

public class ClassConstantInstruction extends Object
Pseudo-instruction used to place Class objects onto the stack. This logical instruction may actually involve a large chunk of code, and may even add static synthetic fields and methods to the owning class. Therefore, once the type of class being loaded is set, it cannot be changed. Also, this instruction is invalid as the target of any jump instruction or exception handler.
