/*
 * KlassFactory is an interface to implementations of the following mapping/function:
 *
 * Summary: create a VM internal runtime representation ("Klass")
            from a bytestream (classfile).
 *
 * Input:  a named bytestream in the Java class file format (see JVMS, chapter 4).
 * Output: a VM runtime representation of a Java class
 *
 * Pre-conditions:
 *   a non-NULL ClassFileStream* // the classfile bytestream
 *   a non-NULL Symbol*          // the name of the class
 *   a non-NULL ClassLoaderData* // the metaspace allocator
 *   (no pending exceptions)
 *
 * Returns:
 *   if the returned value is non-NULL, that value is an indirection (pointer/handle)
 *   to a Klass. The caller will not have a pending exception.
 *
 *   On broken invariants and/or runtime errors the returned value will be
 *   NULL (or a NULL handle) and the caller *might* now have a pending exception.
