Enclosing interface:

Instrumentation

public static interface Instrumentation.Context

The context for an instrumentation application. An instrumentation context represents a mutable data structure and all queries are irrevocable. Calling methods on an instrumentation context should be considered equally sensitive as calling a MethodVisitor. As such, an instrumentation context and a MethodVisitor are complementary for creating an new Java type.
