Denotes a method as a C constant value.

Calls to the method are replaced with a compile time constant. The constant value is extracted from the C header file during native image generation.

The class containing the annotated method must be annotated with CContext.

final class ValueAccess { private ValueAccess() { }
Returns the value of a CConstant, i.e., the same value that calling the annotated method would return.

This method is useful during native image generation, when the annotated method cannot be called.

Params:
  • declaringClass – The class that contains the method annotated with CConstant .
  • methodName – The name of the method annotated with CConstant.
  • returnType – The desired type of the returned value. For integer-kind constants, the supported types are Long, Integer, and Boolean. For floating point constants, the only supported type is Double. For string constants, the only supported type is String.
Returns:The value of the C constant.
