This class is used to build up a constant pool. The user adds constants via 'addXXX' methods, 'addString', 'addClass', etc.. These methods return an index into the constant pool. Finally, 'getFinalConstantPool()' returns the constant pool built up. Intermediate versions of the constant pool can be obtained with 'getConstantPool()'. A constant pool has capacity for Constants.MAX_SHORT entries. Note that the first (0) is used by the JVM and that Double and Long constants need two slots.
