 // Signature constraints ensure that callers and callees agree about

 //

 //  * LinkResolver::resolve_method (if check_access is true) requires

 //    that the resolving class (the caller) and the defining class of

 //    the resolved method (the callee) agree on each type in the

 //    method's signature.

 //

 //  * LinkResolver::resolve_interface_method performs exactly the same

 //    checks.

 //

 //  * LinkResolver::resolve_field requires that the constant pool

 //    attempting to link to a field agree with the field's defining

 //    class about the type of the field signature.

 //

 //  * klassVtable::initialize_vtable requires that, when a class

 //    overrides a vtable entry allocated by a superclass, that the

 //    overriding method (i.e., the callee) agree with the superclass

 //    on each type in the method's signature.

 //

 //  * klassItable::initialize_itable requires that, when a class fills

 //    in its itables, for each non-abstract method installed in an

 //    itable, the method (i.e., the callee) agree with the interface

 //    on each type in the method's signature.

 //

 // All those methods have a boolean (check_access, checkconstraints)

 // which turns off the checks.  This is used from specialized contexts

 // such as bootstrapping, dumping, and debugging.

 //

 // No direct constraint is placed between the class and its

 // supertypes.  Constraints are only placed along linked relations

 // between callers and callees.  When a method overrides or implements

 // an abstract method in a supertype (superclass or interface), the

 // constraints are placed as if the supertype were the caller to the

 // overriding method.  (This works well, since callers to the

 // supertype have already established agreement between themselves and

 // the supertype.)  As a result of all this, a class can disagree with

 // its supertype about the meaning of a type name, as long as that

 // class neither calls a relevant method of the supertype, nor is

 // called (perhaps via an override) from the supertype.
