 * 
 * The value of the class_index item must be a valid index into the constant pool
 * table. The constant pool entry at that index must be a {@link CONSTANT_Class_info}
 * structure representing the class or interface type that contains the declaration

 * 
 * The class_index item of a {@link CONSTANT_Fieldref_info} or a {@link CONSTANT_Methodref_info}
 * structure must be a class type, not an interface type. The class_index item of
 * a {@link CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodref_info} structure must be an interface type
 * that declares the given method.
