Uses ofLinkageError injava.lang
Subclasses ofLinkageError injava.langModifier and TypeClassDescriptionclassThrown when an application tries to call an abstract method.classThrown to indicate that aninvokedynamicinstruction or a dynamicconstant failed to resolve its bootstrap method and arguments,or forinvokedynamicinstruction the bootstrap method has failed toprovide acall site with atargetof the correctmethod type,or for a dynamic constant the bootstrap method has failed to provide aconstant value of the required type.classThrown when the Java Virtual Machine detects a circularity in thesuperclass hierarchy of a class being loaded.classThrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a classfile and determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannotbe interpreted as a class file.classSignals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer.classThrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, orto call a method that it does not have access to.classThrown when an incompatible class change has occurred to some classdefinition.classThrown when an application tries to use the Javanewconstruct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface.classThrown if the Java Virtual Machine or aClassLoaderinstancetries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method callor as part of creating a new instance using thenewexpression)and no definition of the class could be found.classThrown if an application tries to access or modify a specifiedfield of an object, and that object no longer has that field.classThrown if an application tries to call a specified method of aclass (either static or instance), and that class no longer has adefinition of that method.classThrown if the Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriatenative-language definition of a method declarednative.classThrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a classfile and determines that the major and minor version numbersin the file are not supported.classThrown when the "verifier" detects that a class file,though well formed, contains some sort of internal inconsistencyor security problem.Uses ofLinkageError injava.lang.reflect
Subclasses ofLinkageError injava.lang.reflectModifier and TypeClassDescriptionclassThrown when a syntactically malformed signature attribute isencountered by a reflective method that needs to interpret the genericsignature information for a class or interface, method or constructor.
