Interface MethodRefEntry

All Superinterfaces:

MemberRefEntry, PoolEntry

public sealed interface MethodRefEntry
extends MemberRefEntry

Models a CONSTANT_MethodRef_info structure, or a symbolic reference to a class method, in the constant pool of a class file.

A class method reference entry is composite:

MethodRefEntry(
    ClassEntry owner,
    NameAndTypeEntry nameAndType
)

where the type in the NameAndTypeEntry is a method descriptor string.
