  55 /**
  56  * A method type represents the arguments and return type accepted and
  57  * returned by a method handle, or the arguments and return type passed
  58  * and expected  by a method handle caller.  Method types must be properly
  59  * matched between a method handle and all its callers,
  60  * and the JVM's operations enforce this matching at, specifically
  61  * during calls to {@link MethodHandle#invokeExact MethodHandle.invokeExact}
  62  * and {@link MethodHandle#invoke MethodHandle.invoke}, and during execution
  63  * of {@code invokedynamic} instructions.
  64  * <p>
  65  * The structure is a return type accompanied by any number of parameter types.
  66  * The types (primitive, {@code void}, and reference) are represented by {@link Class} objects.
  67  * (For ease of exposition, we treat {@code void} as if it were a type.
  68  * In fact, it denotes the absence of a return type.)
  69  * <p>
  70  * All instances of {@code MethodType} are immutable.
  71  * Two instances are completely interchangeable if they compare equal.
  72  * Equality depends on pairwise correspondence of the return and parameter types and on nothing else.
  73  * <p>
  74  * This type can be created only by factory methods.
  75  * All factory methods may cache values, though caching is not guaranteed.
  76  * Some factory methods are static, while others are virtual methods which
  77  * modify precursor method types, e.g., by changing a selected parameter.
  78  * <p>
  79  * Factory methods which operate on groups of parameter types
  80  * are systematically presented in two versions, so that both Java arrays and
  81  * Java lists can be used to work with groups of parameter types.
  82  * The query methods {@code parameterArray} and {@code parameterList}
  83  * also provide a choice between arrays and lists.
  84  * <p>
  85  * {@code MethodType} objects are sometimes derived from bytecode instructions
  86  * such as {@code invokedynamic}, specifically from the type descriptor strings associated
  87  * with the instructions in a class file's constant pool.
  88  * <p>
  89  * Like classes and strings, method types can also be represented directly
  90  * in a class file's constant pool as constants.
  91  * A method type may be loaded by an {@code ldc} instruction which refers
  92  * to a suitable {@code CONSTANT_MethodType} constant pool entry.
  93  * The entry refers to a {@code CONSTANT_Utf8} spelling for the descriptor string.
  94  * (For full details on method type constants, see sections {@jvms
  95  * 4.4.8} and {@jvms 5.4.3.5} of the Java Virtual Machine
  96  * Specification.)
  97  * <p>
  98  * When the JVM materializes a {@code MethodType} from a descriptor string,
  99  * all classes named in the descriptor must be accessible, and will be loaded.
 100  * (But the classes need not be initialized, as is the case with a {@code CONSTANT_Class}.)
 101  * This loading may occur at any time before the {@code MethodType} object is first derived.
 102  * <p>
 103  * <b><a id="descriptor">Nominal Descriptors</a></b>
 104  * <p>
 105  * A {@code MethodType} can be described in {@linkplain MethodTypeDesc nominal form}
 106  * if and only if all of the parameter types and return type can be described
 107  * with a {@link Class#describeConstable() nominal descriptor} represented by
 108  * {@link ClassDesc}.  If a method type can be described norminally, then:
 109  * <ul>
 110  * <li>The method type has a {@link MethodTypeDesc nominal descriptor}
 111  *     returned by {@link #describeConstable() MethodType::describeConstable}.</li>
 112  * <li>The descriptor string returned by
 113  *     {@link #descriptorString() MethodType::descriptorString} or
 114  *     {@link #toMethodDescriptorString() MethodType::toMethodDescriptorString}
 115  *     for the method type is a valid type descriptor (JVMS {@jvms 4.3.3}).</li>
 116  * </ul>
 117  * <p>
 118  * If any of the parameter types or return type cannot be described
 119  * nominally, i.e. {@link Class#describeConstable() Class::describeConstable}
 120  * returns an empty optional for that type,
 121  * then the method type cannot be described in nominal form:
 122  * <ul>
 123  * <li>The method type has no {@link MethodTypeDesc nominal descriptor} and
 124  *     {@link #describeConstable() MethodType::describeConstable} returns
 125  *     an empty optional.</li>
 126  * <li>The descriptor string returned by
 127  *     {@link #descriptorString() MethodType::descriptorString} or
 128  *     {@link #toMethodDescriptorString() MethodType::toMethodDescriptorString}
 129  *     for the method type is not a valid type descriptor string.</li>
 130  * </ul>
