Returns true if these annotations are visible at runtime.
Returns the unique ID that identifies this kind of attribute (Signature, LineNumberTable,...)
Returns the unique ID that identifies this kind of attribute (Signature, LineNumberTable,...)
This id can then be used in a switch statement to efficiently identify the attribute.
(attribute.id : @scala.annotation.switch) match { case Signature.Id => ... }
The unique ids are manually associated with the attributes. The attributes use the following IDs:
The set of declared annotations; it may be empty.
The runtime (in)visible type annotations of a class, method, field or code block.
