Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind [NONE]
All Implemented Interfaces: `Serializable`, `Comparable<DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind>`, `Constable` Enclosing interface: DirectMethodHandleDesc
    public static enum DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind
    extends Enum<DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind>
Kinds of method handles that can be described with DirectMethodHandleDesc. Since: 12

### field:STATIC [NONE]
### STATIC public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind STATIC A method handle for a method invoked as with `invokestatic`

### field:INTERFACE_STATIC [NONE]
### INTERFACE_STATIC public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind INTERFACE_STATIC A method handle for a method invoked as with `invokestatic`

### field:VIRTUAL [NONE]
### VIRTUAL public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind VIRTUAL A method handle for a method invoked as with `invokevirtual`

### field:INTERFACE_VIRTUAL [NONE]
### INTERFACE_VIRTUAL public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind INTERFACE_VIRTUAL A method handle for a method invoked as with `invokeinterface`

### field:SPECIAL [NONE]
### SPECIAL public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind SPECIAL A method handle for a method invoked as with `invokespecial`

### field:INTERFACE_SPECIAL [NONE]
### INTERFACE_SPECIAL public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind INTERFACE_SPECIAL A method handle for an interface method invoked as with `invokespecial`

### field:CONSTRUCTOR [NONE]
### CONSTRUCTOR public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind CONSTRUCTOR A method handle for a constructor

### field:GETTER [NONE]
### GETTER public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind GETTER A method handle for a read accessor for an instance field

### field:SETTER [NONE]
### SETTER public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind SETTER A method handle for a write accessor for an instance field

### field:STATIC_GETTER [NONE]
### STATIC_GETTER public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind STATIC_GETTER A method handle for a read accessor for a static field

### field:STATIC_SETTER [NONE]
### STATIC_SETTER public static final DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind STATIC_SETTER A method handle for a write accessor for a static field

### field:refKind [NONE]
### refKind public final int refKind The corresponding `refKind` value for this kind of method handle, as defined by `MethodHandleInfo`

### field:isInterface [NONE]
### isInterface public final boolean isInterface Is this an interface

### method:values() [NONE]
### values public static DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind[] values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. Returns: an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### method:valueOf(java.lang.String) [NONE]
### valueOf public static DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind valueOf?(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.) Parameters: `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned. Returns: the enum constant with the specified name Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### method:valueOf(int) [NONE]
### valueOf public static DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind valueOf?(int refKind) Returns the enumeration member with the given `refKind` field. Behaves as if `valueOf(refKind, false)` . As a special case, if `refKind` is `REF_invokeInterface` (9) then the `isInterface` field will be true. Parameters: `refKind` - refKind of desired member Returns: the matching enumeration member Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no such member

### method:valueOf(int,boolean) [NONE]
### valueOf public static DirectMethodHandleDesc.Kind valueOf?(int refKind, boolean isInterface) Returns the enumeration member with the given the `refKind` and `isInterface` arguments. For most values of `refKind` there is an exact match regardless of the value of `isInterface`. These are: `REF_invokeVirtual` which matches to `VIRTUAL` `REF_invokeInterface` which matches to `INTERFACE_VIRTUAL` `REF_newInvokeSpecial` which matches to `CONSTRUCTOR` `REF_getField` which matches to `GETTER` `REF_putField` which matches to `SETTER` `REF_getStatic` which matches to `STATIC_GETTER` `REF_putStatic` which matches to `STATIC_SETTER` As for the rest, the returned kind will depend on the value (false or true accordingly) of `isInterface`: `REF_invokeStatic` which matches to `STATIC` or `INTERFACE_STATIC` `REF_invokeSpecial` which matches to `SPECIAL` or `INTERFACE_SPECIAL` Parameters: `refKind` - refKind of desired member `isInterface` - whether desired member is for interface methods Returns: the matching enumeration member Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no such member
