  94 /**
  95  * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and
  96  * interfaces in a running Java application. An enum class and a record
  97  * class are kinds of class; an annotation interface is a kind of
  98  * interface. Every array also belongs to a class that is reflected as
  99  * a {@code Class} object that is shared by all arrays with the same
 100  * element type and number of dimensions.  The primitive Java types
 101  * ({@code boolean}, {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short}, {@code
 102  * int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and {@code double}), and the
 103  * keyword {@code void} are also represented as {@code Class} objects.
 104  *
 105  * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead a {@code Class}
 106  * object is constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine when
 107  * a class is derived from the bytes of a {@code class} file through
 108  * the invocation of one of the following methods:
 109  * <ul>
 110  * <li> {@link ClassLoader#defineClass(String, byte[], int, int) ClassLoader::defineClass}
 111  * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineClass(byte[])
 112  *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineClass}
 113  * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 114  *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineHiddenClass}
 115  * </ul>
 116  *
 117  * <p> The methods of class {@code Class} expose many characteristics of a
 118  * class or interface. Most characteristics are derived from the {@code class}
 119  * file that the class loader passed to the Java Virtual Machine or
 120  * from the {@code class} file passed to {@code Lookup::defineClass}
 121  * or {@code Lookup::defineHiddenClass}.
 122  * A few characteristics are determined by the class loading environment
 123  * at run time, such as the module returned by {@link #getModule() getModule()}.
 124  *
 125  * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the
 126  * class name of an object:
 127  *
 128  * {@snippet lang="java" :
 129  * void printClassName(Object obj) {
 130  *     System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
 131  *                        " is " + obj.getClass().getName());
 132  * }}
 133  *
 134  * It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named
 135  * class or interface (or for {@code void}) using a <dfn>class literal</dfn>
 136  * (JLS {@jls 15.8.2}).
 137  * For example:
 138  *
 139  * {@snippet lang="java" :
 140  * System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: " + Foo.class.getName()); // @highlight substring="Foo.class"
 141  * }
 142  *
 143  * <p> Some methods of class {@code Class} expose whether the declaration of
 144  * a class or interface in Java source code was <em>enclosed</em> within
 145  * another declaration. Other methods describe how a class or interface
 146  * is situated in a <dfn>{@index "nest"}</dfn>. A nest is a set of
 147  * classes and interfaces, in the same run-time package, that
 148  * allow mutual access to their {@code private} members.
 149  * The classes and interfaces are known as <dfn>{@index "nestmates"}</dfn>
 150  * (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.29}).
 151  * One nestmate acts as the
 152  * <dfn>nest host</dfn> (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.28}), and enumerates the other nestmates which
 153  * belong to the nest; each of them in turn records it as the nest host.
 154  * The classes and interfaces which belong to a nest, including its host, are
 155  * determined when
 156  * {@code class} files are generated, for example, a Java compiler
 157  * will typically record a top-level class as the host of a nest where the
 158  * other members are the classes and interfaces whose declarations are
 159  * enclosed within the top-level class declaration.
 160  *
 161  * <h2><a id=hiddenClasses>Hidden Classes</a></h2>
 162  * A class or interface created by the invocation of
 163  * {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 164  * Lookup::defineHiddenClass} is a {@linkplain Class#isHidden() <dfn>hidden</dfn>}
 165  * class or interface.
 166  * All kinds of class, including enum classes and record classes, may be
 167  * hidden classes; all kinds of interface, including annotation interfaces,
 168  * may be hidden interfaces.
 169  *
 170  * The {@linkplain #getName() name of a hidden class or interface} is
 171  * not a {@linkplain ClassLoader##binary-name binary name},
 172  * which means the following:
 173  * <ul>
 174  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be referenced by the constant pools
 175  *     of other classes and interfaces.
 176  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be described in
 177  *     {@linkplain java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc <em>nominal form</em>} by
 178  *     {@link #describeConstable() Class::describeConstable},
 179  *     {@link ClassDesc#of(String) ClassDesc::of}, or
 180  *     {@link ClassDesc#ofDescriptor(String) ClassDesc::ofDescriptor}.
 181  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be discovered by {@link #forName Class::forName}
 182  *     or {@link ClassLoader#loadClass(String, boolean) ClassLoader::loadClass}.
 183  * </ul>
 184  *
 185  * A hidden class or interface is never an array class, but may be
 186  * the element type of an array. In all other respects, the fact that
 187  * a class or interface is hidden has no bearing on the characteristics
 188  * exposed by the methods of class {@code Class}.
 189  *
 190  * <h2><a id=implicitClasses>Implicitly Declared Classes</a></h2>
 191  *
 192  * Conventionally, a Java compiler, starting from a source file for an
 193  * implicitly declared class, say {@code HelloWorld.java}, creates a
 194  * similarly-named {@code class} file, {@code HelloWorld.class}, where
 195  * the class stored in that {@code class} file is named {@code
 196  * "HelloWorld"}, matching the base names of the source and {@code
 197  * class} files.
 198  *
 199  * For the {@code Class} object of an implicitly declared class {@code
 200  * HelloWorld}, the methods to get the {@linkplain #getName name} and
 201  * {@linkplain #getTypeName type name} return results
 202  * equal to {@code "HelloWorld"}. The {@linkplain #getSimpleName
 203  * simple name} of such an implicitly declared class is {@code "HelloWorld"} and
 204  * the {@linkplain #getCanonicalName canonical name} is {@code "HelloWorld"}.
 205  *
 206  * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}
 207  * object.  For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code
 208  * Class<String>}.  Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is
 209  * unknown.
 210  *
