In many scenarios where classfile is used, ClassDesc is cached by statically declaring constants, such as InvokerBytecodeGenerator/StringConcatFactory. 

However, internalName is generated by subString every time bytecode is built, which means that the purpose of caching ClassDesc is not fully achieved.

This problem can be solved by caching internalName.
