java.lang.Object
- serp.bytecode.Attributes
- - serp.bytecode.Attribute

All Implemented Interfaces:

BCEntity, VisitAcceptor

Annotations, BootstrapMethods, Code, ConstantValue, Deprecated, Exceptions, InnerClasses, LineNumberTable, LocalTable, SourceFile, Synthetic, UnknownAttribute
```
public abstract class Attribute
extends Attributes
implements VisitAcceptor
```
In bytecode attributes are used to represent anything that is not part of the class structure. This includes the source file name, code of methods, the line number table, etc. All attributes contain at a minimum an immutable name that also determines the attribute's type.
