    Description

      The ConstantPoolCache is a data structure that is misnamed. It holds resolution information for Methods, Fields and Invokedynamic bytecodes.

      It is a 4 word array that has different encodings depending on what resolution information it holds. With upcoming extensions to the Java, more or less resolution information will need to be saved and extending this struct variants will become more unwieldy.

      Filing subtasks for each item.
