MagicAccessorImpl (named for parity with FieldAccessorImpl and
others, not because it actually implements an interface) is a
marker class in the hierarchy. All subclasses of this class are
"magically" granted access by the VM to otherwise inaccessible
fields and methods of other classes. It is used to hold the code
for dynamically-generated FieldAccessorImpl and MethodAccessorImpl
subclasses. (Use of the word "unsafe" was avoided in this class's
name to avoid confusion with
sun.misc.Unsafe .)
The bug fix for 4486457 also necessitated disabling
verification for this class and all subclasses, as opposed to just
SerializationConstructorAccessorImpl and subclasses, to avoid
having to indicate to the VM which of these dynamically-generated
stub classes were known to be able to pass the verifier.
Do not change the name of this class without also changing the
VM's code.
