  30 // An ConstMethod represents portions of a Java method which are not written to after
  31 // the classfile is parsed(*see below).  This part of the method can be shared across
  32 // processes in a read-only section with Class Data Sharing (CDS).  It's important
  33 // that this class doesn't have virtual functions because the vptr cannot be shared
  34 // with CDS.
