java.lang.classfile.constantpool

public sealed Interface AnnotationConstantValueEntry

Known Direct Subinterfaces: java.lang.classfile.constantpool.DoubleEntry, java.lang.classfile.constantpool.FloatEntry, java.lang.classfile.constantpool.IntegerEntry, java.lang.classfile.constantpool.LongEntry, java.lang.classfile.constantpool.Utf8Entry
Imports: java.lang.classfile.AnnotationValue, java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc

Marker interface for constant pool entries that can represent constant values associated with elements of annotations. They are also the only entries that do not refer to other constant pool entries.

API Note

An annotation constant value entry alone is not sufficient to determine the annotation constant; for example, an IntegerEntry of 1 can mean true in AnnotationValue.OfBoolean or 1 in AnnotationValue.OfInt.

Since: 24
Java Virtual Machine Specification: 4.7.16.1 The element_value structure
