DynamicCallSiteDesc withArgs(ConstantDesc...) in Java

withArgs(ConstantDesc...): This method is available in the java.lang.constant.DynamicCallSiteDesc class of Java.

Syntax:

DynamicCallSiteDesc java.lang.constant.DynamicCallSiteDesc.withArgs(ConstantDesc... bootstrapArgs)

This method takes one argument. This method returns a nominal descriptor for an invoke dynamic call site whose bootstrap method, name, and invocation type are the same as this one, but with the specified bootstrap arguments.

Parameters: One parameter is required for this method.

bootstrapArgs: ConstantDescs describing the static arguments to the bootstrap, that would appear in the BootstrapMethods attribute.

Returns: the nominal descriptor.

Throws:

1. NullPointerException - if any parameter is null

Approach 1: When no exception
