A visitor called by ConstantPoolParser.parse(ConstantPoolVisitor) when a constant pool entry is parsed.

A visit* method is called when a constant pool entry is parsed. The first argument is always the constant pool index. The second argument is always the constant pool tag, even for methods like visitUTF8(int, byte, String) which only apply to one tag. String arguments refer to Utf8 or NameAndType entries declared elsewhere, and are always accompanied by the indexes of those entries.

The order of the calls to the visit* methods is not necessarily related to the order of the entries in the constant pool. If one entry has a reference to another entry, the latter (lower-level) entry will be visited first.

The following table shows the relation between constant pool entry types and the corresponding visit* methods:

Tag(s)Method
CONSTANT_Utf8 visitUTF8(int, byte, String)
CONSTANT_Integer, CONSTANT_Float, CONSTANT_Long, CONSTANT_Double visitConstantValue(int, byte, Object)
CONSTANT_String, CONSTANT_Class visitConstantString(int, byte, String, int)
CONSTANT_NameAndType visitDescriptor(int, byte, String, String, int, int)
CONSTANT_Fieldref, CONSTANT_Methodref, CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodref visitMemberRef(int, byte, String, String, String, int, int)
