 100 /**
 101  * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and
 102  * interfaces in a running Java application. An enum class and a record
 103  * class are kinds of class; an annotation interface is a kind of
 104  * interface. Every array also belongs to a class that is reflected as
 105  * a {@code Class} object that is shared by all arrays with the same
 106  * element type and number of dimensions.  The primitive Java types
 107  * ({@code boolean}, {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short}, {@code
 108  * int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and {@code double}), and the
 109  * keyword {@code void} are also represented as {@code Class} objects.
 110  *
 111  * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead a {@code Class}
 112  * object is constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine when
 113  * a class is derived from the bytes of a {@code class} file through
 114  * the invocation of one of the following methods:
 115  * <ul>
 116  * <li> {@link ClassLoader#defineClass(String, byte[], int, int) ClassLoader::defineClass}
 117  * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineClass(byte[])
 118  *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineClass}
 119  * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 120  *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineHiddenClass}
 121  * </ul>
 122  *
 123  * <p> The methods of class {@code Class} expose many characteristics of a
 124  * class or interface. Most characteristics are derived from the {@code class}
 125  * file that the class loader passed to the Java Virtual Machine or
 126  * from the {@code class} file passed to {@code Lookup::defineClass}
 127  * or {@code Lookup::defineHiddenClass}.
 128  * A few characteristics are determined by the class loading environment
 129  * at run time, such as the module returned by {@link #getModule() getModule()}.
 130  *
 131  * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the
 132  * class name of an object:
 133  *
 134  * {@snippet lang="java" :
 135  * void printClassName(Object obj) {
 136  *     System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
 137  *                        " is " + obj.getClass().getName());
 138  * }}
 139  *
 140  * It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named
 141  * class or interface (or for {@code void}) using a <dfn>class literal</dfn>
 142  * (JLS {@jls 15.8.2}).
 143  * For example:
 144  *
 145  * {@snippet lang="java" :
 146  * System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: " + Foo.class.getName()); // @highlight substring="Foo.class"
 147  * }
 148  *
 149  * <p> Some methods of class {@code Class} expose whether the declaration of
 150  * a class or interface in Java source code was <em>enclosed</em> within
 151  * another declaration. Other methods describe how a class or interface
 152  * is situated in a <dfn>{@index "nest"}</dfn>. A nest is a set of
 153  * classes and interfaces, in the same run-time package, that
 154  * allow mutual access to their {@code private} members.
 155  * The classes and interfaces are known as <dfn>{@index "nestmates"}</dfn>
 156  * (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.29}).
 157  * One nestmate acts as the
 158  * <dfn>nest host</dfn> (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.28}), and enumerates the other nestmates which
 159  * belong to the nest; each of them in turn records it as the nest host.
 160  * The classes and interfaces which belong to a nest, including its host, are
 161  * determined when
 162  * {@code class} files are generated, for example, a Java compiler
 163  * will typically record a top-level class as the host of a nest where the
 164  * other members are the classes and interfaces whose declarations are
 165  * enclosed within the top-level class declaration.
 166  *
 167  * <p> Unless otherwise specified, methods in this class throw a
 168  * {@link NullPointerException} when they are called with {@code null}
 169  * or an array that contains {@code null} as an argument.
 170  *
 171  * <h2><a id=hiddenClasses>Hidden Classes</a></h2>
 172  * A class or interface created by the invocation of
 173  * {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 174  * Lookup::defineHiddenClass} is a {@linkplain Class#isHidden() <dfn>hidden</dfn>}
 175  * class or interface.
 176  * All kinds of class, including enum classes and record classes, may be
 177  * hidden classes; all kinds of interface, including annotation interfaces,
 178  * may be hidden interfaces.
 179  *
 180  * The {@linkplain #getName() name of a hidden class or interface} is
 181  * not a {@linkplain ClassLoader##binary-name binary name},
 182  * which means the following:
 183  * <ul>
 184  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be referenced by the constant pools
 185  *     of other classes and interfaces.
 186  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be described in
 187  *     {@linkplain java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc <em>nominal form</em>} by
 188  *     {@link #describeConstable() Class::describeConstable},
 189  *     {@link ClassDesc#of(String) ClassDesc::of}, or
 190  *     {@link ClassDesc#ofDescriptor(String) ClassDesc::ofDescriptor}.
 191  * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be discovered by {@link #forName Class::forName}
 192  *     or {@link ClassLoader#loadClass(String, boolean) ClassLoader::loadClass}.
 193  * </ul>
 194  *
 195  * A hidden class or interface is never an array class, but may be
 196  * the element type of an array. In all other respects, the fact that
 197  * a class or interface is hidden has no bearing on the characteristics
 198  * exposed by the methods of class {@code Class}.
 199  *
 200  * <h2><a id=implicitClasses>Implicitly Declared Classes</a></h2>
 201  *
 202  * Conventionally, a Java compiler, starting from a source file for an
 203  * implicitly declared class, say {@code HelloWorld.java}, creates a
 204  * similarly-named {@code class} file, {@code HelloWorld.class}, where
 205  * the class stored in that {@code class} file is named {@code
 206  * "HelloWorld"}, matching the base names of the source and {@code
 207  * class} files.
 208  *
 209  * For the {@code Class} object of an implicitly declared class {@code
 210  * HelloWorld}, the methods to get the {@linkplain #getName name} and
 211  * {@linkplain #getTypeName type name} return results
 212  * equal to {@code "HelloWorld"}. The {@linkplain #getSimpleName
 213  * simple name} of such an implicitly declared class is {@code "HelloWorld"} and
 214  * the {@linkplain #getCanonicalName canonical name} is {@code "HelloWorld"}.
 215  *
 216  * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}
 217  * object.  For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code
 218  * Class<String>}.  Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is
 219  * unknown.
 220  *
 221  * @see     java.lang.ClassLoader#defineClass(byte[], int, int)
 222  * @since   1.0

2668      * method, invoking it with the module name and the absolute name of the

2681      * the method delegates to {@link ClassLoader#getSystemResource}.
2682      *
2683      * <p> Before delegation, an absolute resource name is constructed from the
2684      * given resource name using this algorithm:
2685      *
2686      * <ul>
2687      *
2688      * <li> If the {@code name} begins with a {@code '/'}
2689      * (<code>'&#92;u002f'</code>), then the absolute name of the resource is the
2690      * portion of the {@code name} following the {@code '/'}.
2691      *
2692      * <li> Otherwise, the absolute name is of the following form:
2693      *
2694      * <blockquote>
2695      *   {@code modified_package_name/name}
2696      * </blockquote>
2697      *
2698      * <p> Where the {@code modified_package_name} is the package name of this

2700      * (<code>'&#92;u002e'</code>).
