  // Usage note: the declared holder of a field is the class
  // referenced by name in the bytecodes.  The canonical holder
  // is the most general class which holds the field.  This
  // method returns the canonical holder.  The declared holder
  // can be accessed via a method in ciBytecodeStream.
  //
  // Ex.
  //     class A {
  //       public int f = 7;
  //     }
  //     class B extends A {
  //       public void test() {
  //         System.out.println(f);
  //       }
  //     }
  //
  //   A java compiler is permitted to compile the access to
  //   field f as:
  //
  //     getfield B.f
  //
  //   In that case the declared holder of f would be B and
  //   the canonical holder of f would be A.

  //   1. The field is both static and final
  //   2. The canonical holder of the field has undergone
  //      static initialization.
  //   3. If the field is an object or array, then the oop
  //      in question is allocated in perm space.
  //   4. The field is not one of the special static/final
  //      non-constant fields.  These are java.lang.System.in
  //      and java.lang.System.out.  Abomination.
  //
  // Note: the check for case 4 is not yet implemented.

  // in the same compilation, will_link will need to be checked
  // at each point of access.
