What is a class file in Java, and how is it related to bytecode verification?
A class file contains the bytecode generated from the Java source code, and bytecode verification ensures that the class file can be safely loaded and executed by the JVM.
Thatâ€™s partially correct. Bytecode verification does ensure safety, but it also checks for issues like illegal memory access, type safety, and correct stack usage.
Can you explain the specific bytecode verification checks that are done during class loading?
