  37 // The RedefineClasses() API is used to change the definition of one or
  38 // more classes. While the API supports redefining more than one class
  39 // in a single call, in general, the API is discussed in the context of
  40 // changing the definition of a single current class to a single new
  41 // class. For clarity, the current class is will always be called
  42 // "the_class" and the new class will always be called "scratch_class".
  43 //
  44 // The name "the_class" is used because there is only one structure
  45 // that represents a specific class; redefinition does not replace the
  46 // structure, but instead replaces parts of the structure. The name
  47 // "scratch_class" is used because the structure that represents the
  48 // new definition of a specific class is simply used to carry around
  49 // the parts of the new definition until they are used to replace the
  50 // appropriate parts in the_class. Once redefinition of a class is
  51 // complete, scratch_class is thrown away.
