ConstantPoolBuilder
is a preview API of the Java platform.
Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
Builder for the constant pool of a classfile. Provides read and write access
to the constant pool that is being built. Writing is append-only and idempotent
(entry-bearing methods will return an existing entry if there is one).
A ConstantPoolBuilderPREVIEW is associated with a
ClassBuilder
PREVIEW.
The ConstantPoolBuilderPREVIEW also provides access to some of the
state of the ClassBuilderPREVIEW, such as classfile processing options.- Since:
