java.lang.Enum<ClassFile.ConstantPoolSharingOptionPREVIEW>
java.lang.classfile.ClassFile.ConstantPoolSharingOption

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `ClassFile.OptionPREVIEW`, `Comparable<ClassFile.ConstantPoolSharingOptionPREVIEW>`, `Constable`

Enclosing interface:
  `ClassFilePREVIEW`

public static enum ClassFile.ConstantPoolSharingOption extends Enum<ClassFile.ConstantPoolSharingOptionPREVIEW> implements ClassFile.OptionPREVIEW
`ConstantPoolSharingOption` is a preview API of the Java platform.
Programs can only use `ConstantPoolSharingOption` when preview features are enabled.
Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
Option describing whether to preserve the original constant pool when transforming a classfile. Reusing the constant pool enables significant optimizations in processing time and minimizes differences between the original and transformed classfile, but may result in a bigger classfile when a classfile is significantly transformed. Default is `SHARED_POOL` to preserve the original constant pool.
