I think basically I want the following API, but ideally thread safe and
optimizable like a real LDC.
public final class LazyConstant {
private ConstantDesc desc;
private Object result;
public LazyConstant(ConstantDesc desc) {
this.desc = desc;
}
public Object resolve(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup) throws
ReflectiveOperationException {
if (null == result) {
result = desc.resolveConstantDesc(lookup);
}
return result;
}
}
