  - info
```
int info
```
    Additional information about this symbol, generally computed lazily. Warning: the value of this field is ignored when comparing Symbol instances (to avoid duplicate entries in a SymbolTable). Therefore, this field should only contain data that can be computed from the other fields of this class. It contains:
    
    the Type.getArgumentsAndReturnSizes() of the symbol's method descriptor for CONSTANT_METHODREF_TAG, CONSTANT_INTERFACE_METHODREF_TAG and CONSTANT_INVOKE_DYNAMIC_TAG symbols,

    the index (in the class' type table) of the merged type of the two source types for MERGED_TYPE_TAG symbols,
    0 for the other types of symbol, or if this field has not been computed yet.
- Constructor Detail
  - Symbol
```
Symbol(int index,
       int tag,
       java.lang.String owner,
       java.lang.String name,
       java.lang.String value,
       long data)
```
    Constructs a new Symbol. This constructor can't be used directly because the Symbol class is abstract. Instead, use the factory methods of the SymbolTable class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the symbol index in the constant pool, in the BootstrapMethods attribute, or in the (ASM specific) type table of a class (depending on 'tag').
    
    tag - the symbol type. Must be one of the static tag values defined in this class.
    
    owner - The internal name of the symbol's owner class. Maybe null.
    
    name - The name of the symbol's corresponding class field or method. Maybe null.
    
    value - The string value of this symbol. Maybe null.
    
    data - The numeric value of this symbol.
- Method Detail
  - getArgumentsAndReturnSizes
```
int getArgumentsAndReturnSizes()
```
    Returns the result Type.getArgumentsAndReturnSizes() on value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the result Type.getArgumentsAndReturnSizes() on value (memoized in info for efficiency). This should only be used for CONSTANT_METHODREF_TAG, CONSTANT_INTERFACE_METHODREF_TAG and CONSTANT_INVOKE_DYNAMIC_TAG symbols.
