  96 /**
  97  * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and
  98  * interfaces in a running Java application. An enum class and a record
  99  * class are kinds of class; an annotation interface is a kind of
 100  * interface. Every array also belongs to a class that is reflected as
 101  * a {@code Class} object that is shared by all arrays with the same
 102  * element type and number of dimensions.  The primitive Java types
 103  * ({@code boolean}, {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short}, {@code
 104  * int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and {@code double}), and the
 105  * keyword {@code void} are also represented as {@code Class} objects.
 106  *
 107  * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead a {@code Class}
 108  * object is constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine when
 109  * a class is derived from the bytes of a {@code class} file through
 110  * the invocation of one of the following methods:
 111  * <ul>
 112  * <li> {@link ClassLoader#defineClass(String, byte[], int, int) ClassLoader::defineClass}
 113  * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineClass(byte[])
 114  *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineClass}
 115  * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 116  *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineHiddenClass}
 117  * </ul>
 118  *
 119  * <p> The methods of class {@code Class} expose many characteristics of a
 120  * class or interface. Most characteristics are derived from the {@code class}
 121  * file that the class loader passed to the Java Virtual Machine or
 122  * from the {@code class} file passed to {@code Lookup::defineClass}
 123  * or {@code Lookup::defineHiddenClass}.
 124  * A few characteristics are determined by the class loading environment
 125  * at run time, such as the module returned by {@link #getModule() getModule()}.
 126  *
 127  * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the
 128  * class name of an object:
 129  *
 130  * {@snippet lang="java" :
 131  * void printClassName(Object obj) {
 132  *     System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
 133  *                        " is " + obj.getClass().getName());
 134  * }}
 135  *
 136  * It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named
 137  * class or interface (or for {@code void}) using a <dfn>class literal</dfn>
 138  * (JLS {@jls 15.8.2}).
 139  * For example:
 140  *
 141  * {@snippet lang="java" :
 142  * System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: " + Foo.class.getName()); // @highlight substring="Foo.class"
 143  * }
 144  *
 145  * <p> Some methods of class {@code Class} expose whether the declaration of
 146  * a class or interface in Java source code was <em>enclosed</em> within
 147  * another declaration. Other methods describe how a class or interface
 148  * is situated in a <dfn>{@index "nest"}</dfn>. A nest is a set of
 149  * classes and interfaces, in the same run-time package, that
 150  * allow mutual access to their {@code private} members.
 151  * The classes and interfaces are known as <dfn>{@index "nestmates"}</dfn>
 152  * (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.29}).
 153  * One nestmate acts as the
 154  * <dfn>nest host</dfn> (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.28}), and enumerates the other nestmates which
 155  * belong to the nest; each of them in turn records it as the nest host.
 156  * The classes and interfaces which belong to a nest, including its host, are
 157  * determined when
 158  * {@code class} files are generated, for example, a Java compiler
 159  * will typically record a top-level class as the host of a nest where the
 160  * other members are the classes and interfaces whose declarations are
 161  * enclosed within the top-level class declaration.
 162  *
 163  * <p> Unless otherwise specified, methods in this class throw a
 164  * {@link NullPointerException} when they are called with {@code null}
 165  * or an array that contains {@code null} as an argument.
 166  *
 167  * <h2><a id=hiddenClasses>Hidden Classes</a></h2>
 168  * A class or interface created by the invocation of
 169  * {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 170  * Lookup::defineHiddenClass} is a {@linkplain Class#isHidden() <dfn>hidden</dfn>}
 171  * class or interface.
 172  * All kinds of class, including enum classes and record classes, may be
 173  * hidden classes; all kinds of interface, including annotation interfaces,
 174  * may be hidden interfaces.
 175  *
 176  * The {@linkplain #getName() name of a hidden class or interface} is
 177  * not a {@linkplain ClassLoader##binary-name binary name},
 178  * which means the following:
 179  * <ul>
 180  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be referenced by the constant pools
 181  *     of other classes and interfaces.
 182  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be described in
 183  *     {@linkplain java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc <em>nominal form</em>} by
 184  *     {@link #describeConstable() Class::describeConstable},
 185  *     {@link ClassDesc#of(String) ClassDesc::of}, or
 186  *     {@link ClassDesc#ofDescriptor(String) ClassDesc::ofDescriptor}.
 187  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be discovered by {@link #forName Class::forName}
 188  *     or {@link ClassLoader#loadClass(String, boolean) ClassLoader::loadClass}.
 189  * </ul>
 190  *
 191  * A hidden class or interface is never an array class, but may be
 192  * the element type of an array. In all other respects, the fact that
 193  * a class or interface is hidden has no bearing on the characteristics
 194  * exposed by the methods of class {@code Class}.
 195  *
 196  * <h2><a id=implicitClasses>Implicitly Declared Classes</a></h2>
 197  *
 198  * Conventionally, a Java compiler, starting from a source file for an
 199  * implicitly declared class, say {@code HelloWorld.java}, creates a
 200  * similarly-named {@code class} file, {@code HelloWorld.class}, where
 201  * the class stored in that {@code class} file is named {@code
 202  * "HelloWorld"}, matching the base names of the source and {@code
 203  * class} files.
 204  *
 205  * For the {@code Class} object of an implicitly declared class {@code
 206  * HelloWorld}, the methods to get the {@linkplain #getName name} and
 207  * {@linkplain #getTypeName type name} return results
 208  * equal to {@code "HelloWorld"}. The {@linkplain #getSimpleName
 209  * simple name} of such an implicitly declared class is {@code "HelloWorld"} and
 210  * the {@linkplain #getCanonicalName canonical name} is {@code "HelloWorld"}.
 211  *
 212  * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}
 213  * object.  For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code
 214  * Class<String>}.  Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is
 215  * unknown.
 216  *
 217  * @see     java.lang.ClassLoader#defineClass(byte[], int, int)
 218  * @since   1.0

1962      *      signature (name, parameter types) and return type.</li>
1963      * <li> Within each such subset only the most specific methods are selected.
1964      *      Let method M be a method from a set of methods with same signature
1965      *      and return type. M is most specific if there is no such method
1966      *      N != M from the same set, such that N is more specific than M.
1967      *      N is more specific than M if:
1968      *   <ol type="a">
1969      *   <li> N is declared by a class and M is declared by an interface; or</li>
1970      *   <li> N and M are both declared by classes or both by interfaces and
1971      *        N's declaring type is the same as or a subtype of M's declaring type
1972      *        (clearly, if M's and N's declaring types are the same type, then
