The VM doesn't need this but it carries it around because it's a parameter to JVM_DefineClass and DefineClassWithSource (second to last parameter). CFLH and CDS from what I can tell have it for the same purpose - ultimately to assign it into the mirror. There are some remaining code in the compilers (ci). Not sure if they are needed without studying it more. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/23396#discussion_r1941554835
