Evaluate the JVM linkage rules for access to the given method
on behalf of a caller class which proposes to perform the access.
Return true if the caller class has privileges to invoke a method
or access a field with the given properties.
This requires an accessibility check of the referencing class,
plus an accessibility check of the member within the class,
which depends on the member's modifier flags.

 The relevant properties include the defining class (defc) of the member, and its modifier flags (mods). Also relevant is the class used to make the initial symbolic reference to the member (refc). If this latter class is not distinguished, the defining class should be passed for both arguments (defc == refc). 
JVM Specification, 5.4.4 "Access Control"

A field or method R is accessible to a class or interface D if
and only if any of the following conditions is true:
    

  • R is public.

  • R is protected and is declared in a class C, and D is either
    a subclass of C or C itself.  Furthermore, if R is not
    static, then the symbolic reference to R must contain a
    symbolic reference to a class T, such that T is either a
    subclass of D, a superclass of D or D itself.

  • R is either protected or has default access (that is,
    neither public nor protected nor private), and is declared
    by a class in the same runtime package as D.

  • R is private and is declared in D.


This discussion of access control omits a related restriction
on the target of a protected field access or method invocation
(the target must be of class D or a subtype of D). That
requirement is checked as part of the verification process
(5.4.1); it is not part of link-time access control.

Params:
  • refc – the class used in the symbolic reference to the proposed member
  • defc – the class in which the proposed member is actually defined
  • mods – modifier flags for the proposed member
  • lookupClass – the class for which the access check is being made
Returns:true iff the the accessing class can access such a member
