Description
The unsigned indexbyte1 and indexbyte2 are used to construct an index into the constant pool of the current class (§3.6), where the value of the index is (indexbyte1 << 8) | indexbyte2. The constant pool item at the index must be a CONSTANT_Fieldref (§4.4.2), a reference to a class name and a field name. If the field is protected (§4.6), then it must be either a member of the current class or a member of a superclass of the current class, and the class of objectref must be either the current class or a subclass of the current class.
