      As specified, the metadata functions:
      GetClassMetadata
      GetFieldMetadata
      GetMethodMetadata

      return a value of type char*

      But metadata is complex structured data including references to
      to constant pool entries. JVMTI has no mechanism to access
      constant pool entries and thus these strings cannot be interpreted.
