Interface CharacterRangeTableAttribute
- All Superinterfaces:
- Attribute<CharacterRangeTableAttribute>,- ClassFileElement
CharacterRangeTable
 attribute, which is a bidirectional mapping from ranges of positions in the
 source file to ranges of indices into the code array.  Its entries
 are delivered as CharacterRanges when traversing the elements of a
 CodeModel, toggled by ClassFile.DebugElementsOption.
 
 The CharacterRangeTable attribute consists of an array of character range entries.  The character range entries
 form a forest data structure: any two range entries are either disjoint, or
 if they overlap, then one entry must be enclosed within the other, both in
 code array indices and source file character positions.  The
 character range entries may appear in any order.
 
 This attribute only appears on Code attributes, permits multiple
 appearances but should only appear once in a Code attribute.  It has a data dependency on
 labels.
 
 This attribute cannot be sent to a CodeBuilder; its entries can be
 constructed with CharacterRange, resulting in at most one
 attribute instance in the built Code attribute.
 
 This attribute is not predefined in the Java SE Platform.  This is a
 JDK-specific nonstandard attribute produced by the reference implementation
 of the system Java compiler, defined by the jdk.compiler module.
