abstract class: SerializationConstructorAccessorImpl [javadoc | source]

java.lang.Object
   sun.reflect.MagicAccessorImpl
      sun.reflect.ConstructorAccessorImpl
         sun.reflect.SerializationConstructorAccessorImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:
    ConstructorAccessor

Java serialization (in java.io) expects to be able to instantiate a class and invoke a no-arg constructor of that class's first non-Serializable superclass. This is not a valid operation according to the VM specification; one can not (for classes A and B, where B is a subclass of A) write "new B; invokespecial A()" without getting a verification error.

In all other respects, the bytecode-based reflection framework can be reused for this purpose. This marker class was originally known to the VM and verification disabled for it and all subclasses, but the bug fix for 4486457 necessitated disabling verification for all of the dynamically-generated bytecodes associated with reflection. This class has been left in place to make future debugging easier.
