Loading int.class onto the stack

Sorry in advance for what is probably a stupid question.

How do I load the int.class primitive Class representation (as opposed to
Integer.class) via an ldc instruction? I've tried the following:

visitLdcInsn( Type.getType(int.class) );
visitLdcInsn( Type.INT_TYPE );
visitLdcInsn( Type.getType("I") );

These either cause NoClassDefFoundErrors or generate the wrong type (they
generate Integer.class instead of int.class).

The compiler generates GETSTATIC instructions to fetch the int.class
indirectly from Integer.TYPE, like for the code show:

Class[] classes = new Class[]{int.class};

Emulating this isn't currently causing us any direct issues, but I don't
know if it's a good idea or performant when compared to a direct reference
to int.class.

Thanks,
Arshan
