Or should > be named "classDescriptor". While I agree it may seem non-sensical to define `CD_Object` for `Object`, there's precedent in that `Wrapper.primitiveType` is `Object.class` - so for consistency I wired it up the same way. For the usage patterns introduced with this patch we'll never call `primitiveClassDescriptor()` on `Wrapper.OBJECT`, though - and `Wrapper.forPrimitiveType` will throw an `IAE` if you try - so we can always revisit this. `void.class` is the primitive type for `Void.class`, allowed as a return type and recognized by `Wrapper.forPrimitiveType`. There are checks in for example `ConstantUtils.parseMethodDescriptor` which disallows `void.class` anywhere but as a return type. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18971#discussion_r1581404597
