26 //
27 // kRetired: Class that's temporarily used till class linking time
28 // has its (vtable) size figured out and has been cloned to one with the
29 // right size which will be the one used later. The old one is retired and
30 // will be gc'ed once all refs to the class point to the newly
31 // cloned version.
32 //
33 // kErrorUnresolved, kErrorResolved: Class is erroneous. We need
34 // to distinguish between classes that have been resolved and classes that
35 // have not. This is important because the const-class instruction needs to
36 // return a previously resolved class even if its subsequent initialization
37 // failed. We also need this to decide whether to wrap a previous
38 // initialization failure in ClassDefNotFound error or not.
39 //
40 // kNotReady: If a Class cannot be found in the class table by
41 // FindClass, it allocates an new one with AllocClass in the
42 // kNotReady and calls LoadClass. Note if it does find a
43 // class, it may not be kResolved and it will try to push it
44 // forward toward kResolved.
45 //
46 // kIdx: LoadClass populates with Class with information from
47 // the DexFile, moving the status to kIdx, indicating that the
48 // Class value in super_class_ has not been populated. The new Class
49 // can then be inserted into the classes table.
50 //
51 // kLoaded: After taking a lock on Class, the ClassLinker will
52 // attempt to move a kIdx class forward to kLoaded by
53 // using ResolveClass to initialize the super_class_ and ensuring the
54 // interfaces are resolved.
55 //
56 // kResolving: Class is just cloned with the right size from
57 // temporary class that's acting as a placeholder for linking. The old
58 // class will be retired. New class is set to this status first before
59 // moving on to being resolved.
60 //
61 // kResolved: Still holding the lock on Class, the ClassLinker
62 // shows linking is complete and fields of the Class populated by making
63 // it kResolved. Java allows circularities of the form where a super
64 // class has a field that is of the type of the sub class. We need to be able
65 // to fully resolve super classes while resolving types for fields.
66 //
67 // kRetryVerificationAtRuntime: The verifier sets a class to
68 // this state if it encounters a soft failure at compile time. This
69 // often happens when there are unresolved classes in other dex
70 // files, and this status marks a class as needing to be verified
71 // again at runtime. This status is only set and seen during AOT
72 // compilation, and the compiler will mark the class as resolved in the
73 // image and/or oat file.
74 //
75 // kVerifiedNeedsAccessChecks: The verifier sets a class to
76 // this state if it encounters access-checks only soft failure at compile
77 // time. This happens when there are unresolved classes in other dex
78 // files, and this status marks a class as verified but that will need to run
79 // with access checks enabled in the interpreter.
