## Uses of Class
org.apache.bcel.generic.ReferenceType

- Packages that use ReferenceType
  Package | Description
  --- | ---
  org.apache.bcel.generic | This package contains the "generic" part of the Byte Code Engineering Library, i.e., classes to dynamically modify class objects and byte code instructions.
  org.apache.bcel.verifier.structurals | Provides a PassVerifier class mostly used internally by JustIce, yielding a control flow graph for public use as a nice side effect.

- - ### Uses of ReferenceType in org.apache.bcel.generic

    Subclasses of ReferenceType in org.apache.bcel.generic
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `ArrayType` Denotes array type, such as int[][]
    `class` | `ObjectType` Denotes reference such as java.lang.String.

    Fields in org.apache.bcel.generic declared as ReferenceType
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `static ReferenceType` | Type.`NULL`

    Methods in org.apache.bcel.generic that return ReferenceType
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `ReferenceType` | ReferenceType.`firstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t)` Deprecated. use getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t) which has slightly changed semantics.
    `ReferenceType` | ReferenceType.`getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t)` This commutative operation returns the first common superclass (narrowest ReferenceType referencing a class, not an interface).
    `ReferenceType` | FieldOrMethod.`getReferenceType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)` Gets the reference type representing the class, interface, or array class referenced by the instruction.
    `ReferenceType` | INVOKEDYNAMIC.`getReferenceType(ConstantPoolGen cpg)` Since InvokeDynamic doesn't refer to a reference type, just return java.lang.Object, as that is the only type we can say for sure the reference will be.

    Methods in org.apache.bcel.generic with parameters of type ReferenceType
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `CHECKCAST` | InstructionFactory.`createCheckCast(ReferenceType t)`
    `INSTANCEOF` | InstructionFactory.`createInstanceOf(ReferenceType t)`
    `ReferenceType` | ReferenceType.`firstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t)` Deprecated. use getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t) which has slightly changed semantics.
    `ReferenceType` | ReferenceType.`getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t)` This commutative operation returns the first common superclass (narrowest ReferenceType referencing a class, not an interface).
