i read " inside JVM " book...
In that they have explained the process of loading, linking and initializing process ...

Here they have mentioned about replacing "symbolic reference" with "direct reference" ... but they haven't explained how "symbolic reference" and direct reference looks like ? and what was the difference between them...
