Sorry – typo:  ‘constant()’

Hi Mark,

I don't understand your question.  Nowhere in any document mentions there's
a "const" in ConstantValueAttribute.  Its Javadoc is available here:

https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk24/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/classfile/attribute/ConstantValueAttribute.html

So once you get a ConstantValueAttribute from a field, you can check its
constant() accessor, and pattern match to check if it is an
IntegerEntry/StringEntry etc.



Regards,

Chen Liang

ConstantValueAttribute:const() is not public.  The documentation implies it
is.  How do you get the value?



Thanks,

Mark
