ClassFileElement, CodeElement, ConstantInstruction, InstructionConstantInstructionpublic static sealed interface ConstantInstruction.LoadConstantInstruction extends ConstantInstruction
ldc and ldc_w, and ldc2_w instructions. A load constant instruction is composite:
LoadConstantInstruction(LoadableConstantEntry constantEntry)
A "load constant" instruction can load any constant value supported by other constant-load instructions. However, other instructions are usually more optimized, avoiding extra constant pool entries and being smaller.
