public class Constructor implements Invocable<Object>

Constructor

All Implemented Interfaces: Invocable

Runtime representation of a constructor.

Constructors implement Invocable<Object> so frameworks can instantiate classes through reflection without falling back to raw allocation.

Example

import klyn.reflection

ctor = User.type.getConstructor()
user = ctor() as User
