Class ConstantsClassGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.ek9lang.compiler.backend.jvm.ConstantsClassGenerator

public final class ConstantsClassGenerator
extends Object

Generates a per-module _Constants JVM class from constant IRConstructs.

Aggregates all constant IRConstructs for a single module into one class with: - Public static fields for each constant - A <clinit> that initializes all constants via Type._of(literalValue) - A private no-arg constructor to prevent instantiation

This is the JVM-specific backend for constant code generation, called by CodeGenerationConstants (Phase 15). LLVM backend would have its own equivalent.
