@HashCodeAndEqualsPlugin.Enhance public class MethodDelegation extends Object implements Implementation.Composable
static by providing
 a reference to a Class or an instance method when another object is provided. The potential
 targets of the method delegation can further be filtered by applying a filter. The method delegation can be
 customized by invoking the MethodDelegation's several builder methods.
 Without any customization, the method delegation will work as follows:
Binding an instrumented method to a given delegate method
A method will be bound parameter by parameter. Considering a method
Foo#bar being bound to a method
 Qux#baz, the method delegation will be decided on basis of the following annotations:
 Argument:
 This annotation will bind the n-th parameter of Foo#bar to that parameter of Qux#bazthat
 is annotated with this annotation where n is the obligatory argument of the @Argument annotation.AllArguments:
 This annotation will assign a collection of all parameters of Foo#bar to that parameter of Qux#baz
 that is annotated with AllArguments.This: A parameter
 of Qux#baz that is annotated with This will be assigned the instance that is instrumented for
 a non-static method.Super: A parameter that is annotated with
 this annotation is assigned a proxy that allows calling an instrumented type's super methods.Default: A parameter that is annotated with
 this annotation is assigned a proxy that allows calling an instrumented type's directly implemented interfaces'
 default methods.SuperCall: A parameter
 of Qux#baz that is annotated with SuperCall will be assigned an instance of a type implementing both
 Runnable and Callable which will invoke the instrumented method on the
 invocation of either interface's method. The call is made using the original arguments of the method invocation.
 The return value is only emitted for the Callable.call() method which additionally
 requires to catch any unchecked exceptions that might be thrown by the original method's implementation. If a
 source method is abstract, using this annotation excludes the method with this parameter annotation from being bound
 to this source method.
 SuperCall:
 This annotation is similar to the DefaultCall
 annotation but it invokes a default method that is compatible to this method. If a source method does not represent
 a default method, using this annotation excludes the method with this parameter annotation from being bound to this
 source method. For using method handles, the SuperCallHandle
 and DefaultCallHandle annotations can be used.SuperMethod or
 DefaultMethod annotations can be used on any parameter type
 that is assignable from the Method type. the parameter is bound a method instance that
 allows for the reflective invocation of a super or default method. Note that this method is not equal to the intercepted
 method but represents a synthetic accessor method. Using this annotation also causes this accessor to be public
 which allows its outside invocation without any access checks by a security manager. For using method handles, the
 SuperCallHandle and
 DefaultCallHandle annotations can be used.Origin: A parameter of
 Qux#baz that is annotated with Origin is assigned a reference to either a Method,
 a Constructor, a java.lang.reflect.Executable or a Class instance.
 A Method-typed, Constructor or Executable parameter is assigned a reference to the original
 method that is instrumented. A Class-typed parameter is assigned the type of the caller. Furthermore, MethodType
 and MethodHandle parameters are also supported. When using the annotation on a String type,
 the intercepted method's toString value is injected. The same holds for a parameter of type int that receives
 the modifiers of the instrumented method.StubValue: Assigns the (boxed) default value of the
 intercepted method's return type to the parameter. If the return type is void, null is assigned.Empty: Assigns the parameter type's
 default value, i.e. null for a reference type or zero for primitive types. This is an opportunity to
 ignore a parameter.Pipe: A parameter that is annotated
 with this annotation is assigned a proxy for forwarding the source method invocation to another instance of the
 same type as the declaring type of the intercepted method. This annotation needs to be installed and explicitly
 registered before it can be used. See the Pipe
 annotation's documentation for further information on how this can be done.Morph: The morph annotation is similar to
 the SuperCall annotation but allows to
 explicitly define and therewith alter the arguments that are handed to the super method. This annotation needs
 to be installed and explicitly registered before it can be used. See the documentation to the annotation for
 further information.FieldValue: Allows to access a field's value at the time
 of the method invocation. The field's value is directly assigned to the annotated parameter.FieldProxy: Allows to access fields via getter
 and setter proxies. This annotation needs to be installed and explicitly registered before it can be used.
 Note that any field access requires boxing such that a use of FieldAccessor in
 combination with andThen(Implementation) might be a more
 performant alternative for implementing field getters and setters.Argument using the next
 unbound parameter index of the source method as its parameter. This means that a method
 Qux#baz(@Argument(2) Object p1, Object p2, @Argument(0) Object p3 would be treated as if p2 was annotated
 with @Argument(1).
 In addition, the
RuntimeType
 annotation can instruct a parameter to be bound by a
 Assigner with considering the
 runtime type of the parameter.
 Selecting among different methods that can be used for binding a method of the instrumented type
When deciding between two methods
Foo#bar and Foo#qux that could both be used to delegating a
 method call, the following consideration is applied in the given order:
 BindingPriority:
 A method that is annotated with this annotation is given a specific priority where the default priority is set
 to BindingPriority.DEFAULT
 for non-annotated method. A method with a higher priority is considered a better target for delegation.DeclaringTypeResolver:
 If a target method is declared by a more specific type than another method, the method with the most specific
 type is bound.MethodNameEqualityResolver:
 If a source method Baz#qux is the source method, it will rather be assigned to Foo#qux because
 of their equal names. Similar names and case-insensitive equality are not considered.ArgumentTypeResolver:
 The most specific type resolver will consider all bindings that are using the
 Argument
 annotation for resolving a binding conflict. In this context, the resolution will equal the most-specific
 type resolution that is performed by the Java compiler. This means that a source method Bar#baz(String)
 will rather be bound to a method Foo#bar(String) than Foo#qux(Object) because the String
 type is more specific than the Object type. If two methods are equally adequate by their parameter types,
 then the method with the higher numbers of @Argument annotated parameters is considered as the better
 delegation target.ParameterLengthResolver:
 If a target methods has a higher number of total parameters that were successfully bound, the method with
 the higher number will be considered as the better delegation target.
 Additionally, if a method is annotated by
 IgnoreForBinding,
 it is never considered as a target for a method delegation.
 
 Important: For invoking a method on another instance, use the MethodCall implementation. A method delegation
 intends to bind a interceptor class and its resolution algorithm will not necessarily yield a delegation to the intercepted
 method.
