Description
The javac's classfile library could be used not only to read classfiles, but also to construct classfiles from scratch. To do so, a few more constructors for various elements are needed (see the attached patch).
Comments
noreg-other: the changes are quite simple, and are actively used by CreateSymbols during build.
