Currently, a CompilerToVM::getResolvedJavaMethod javadoc states:

    /**
     * Read a value representing a metaspace Method* and return the
     * {@link HotSpotResolvedJavaMethodImpl} wrapping it. This method does no checking that the
     * location actually contains a valid Method*. If the {@code base} object is a
     * {@link HotSpotResolvedJavaMethodImpl}, {@link HotSpotConstantPool} or
     * {@link HotSpotResolvedObjectTypeImpl} then the metaspace pointer is fetched from that object
     * and used as the base. Otherwise the object itself is used as the base.
     *
     * @param base an object to read from or null
     * @param displacement
     * @return null or the resolved method for this location
     */

however, in fact, only MemberName(it's long field at provided offset) and HotSpotResolvedJavaMethodImpl(a metaspaceMethod field) are supported by c++ code, throwing IllegalArgumentException for other non-null base parameters(but javadoc states that an object itself is used as a base in that case)
