I think to address these, we will leave the specification of `loadConstant` open so we can always flexibly adjust if we need. Currently javac compiles `-1L` to a `ldc2_w` which is more similar to existing ClassFile API behavior. For `ldc`, we can remove the `ConstantDesc` version and keep the `LoadableConstantEntry` version. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21259#issuecomment-2383179397
