public sealed interface NewMultiArrayInstruction
extends Instruction

Models a multianewarray instruction in the code array of a Code attribute. Delivered as a CodeElement when traversing the elements of a CodeModel.

A new multi-dimensional array instruction is composite:

NewMultiArrayInstruction(
    ClassEntry arrayType,
    int dimensions
)

where the arrayType is an array class.
