  - visit
```
DynamicType.Builder<T> visit(AsmVisitorWrapper asmVisitorWrapper)
```
    Applies the supplied AsmVisitorWrapper onto the ClassVisitor during building a dynamic type. Using an ASM visitor, it is possible to manipulate byte code directly.

If several ASM visitor wrappers are registered, they are applied on top of another in their registration order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    asmVisitorWrapper - The ASM visitor wrapper to apply during
    
    Returns:
    
    A new builder that is equal to this builder and applies the ASM visitor wrapper.

    Parameters:
    
    name - The fully qualified name of the generated class in a binary format.
    
    Returns:

```
DynamicType.Builder.FieldDefinition.Valuable<T> field(ElementMatcher<? super FieldDescription> matcher)
```
    Matches a field that is already declared by the instrumented type. This gives opportunity to change that field's default value, annotations or custom attributes.
    
    When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the field declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.
    
    If a field is already matched by a previously specified field matcher, the new field definition gets precedence over the previous definition, i.e. the previous field definition is no longer applied.
    
    Parameters:
    
    matcher - The matcher that determines what declared fields are affected by the subsequent specification.
    
    Returns:
    
    A builder that allows for changing a field's definition.

```
    Matches a field that is already declared by the instrumented type. This gives opportunity to change that field's default value, annotations or custom attributes. Using a latent matcher gives opportunity to resolve an ElementMatcher based on the instrumented type before applying the matcher.
    
    When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the field declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.

  - ignoreAlso
```
DynamicType.Builder<T> ignoreAlso(ElementMatcher<? super MethodDescription> ignoredMethods)

    Parameters:
    
    ignoredMethods - The matcher for determining what methods to exclude from instrumentation.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new builder that is equal to this builder but that is excluding any method that is matched by the supplied matcher from instrumentation.

    When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the method declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.
    
    If a method is already matched by a previously specified matcher, the new method definition gets precedence over the previous definition, i.e. the previous method definition is no longer applied.
    
    Note that the specified definition does never apply for methods that are explicitly ignored.
    
    Parameters:
    
    matcher - The matcher that determines what methods are affected by the subsequent specification.
    
    Returns:
    
    A builder that allows for changing a method's or constructor's definition.

    Note that the specified definition does never apply for methods that are explicitly ignored.
    
    Important: It is possible to instrument the dynamic type's initializer. Depending on the used TypeResolutionStrategy, the type initializer might be run before Byte Buddy could apply any LoadedTypeInitializers which are responsible for preparing the instrumented type prior to the initializer's execution. For preparing the type prior to executing the initializer, an TypeResolutionStrategy.Active resolver must be chosen.

    When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the field declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.
    
    If a record component is already matched by a previously specified record component matcher, the new record component definition gets precedence over the previous definition, i.e. the previous record component definition is no longer applied.
    
    Parameters:
    
    matcher - The matcher that determines what declared record components are affected by the subsequent specification.
    
    Returns:
    
    A builder that allows for changing a record component's definition.

  - wrap
```
ContextClassVisitor wrap(ClassVisitor classVisitor)
```
    Wraps a class visitor with the configuration that is represented by this dynamic type builder, using a default TypePool. A wrapper might not apply all features that are normally applied by Byte Buddy, if those features require control of the class loading life cycle. Neither does a wrapper define auxiliary types. It is therefore recommended to use Implementation.Context.Disabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    classVisitor - The class visitor to wrap.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new class visitor that wraps a representation of this dynamic type.
  - wrap
```
ContextClassVisitor wrap(ClassVisitor classVisitor,
                         int writerFlags,
                         int readerFlags)
```
    Wraps a class visitor with the configuration that is represented by this dynamic type builder, using a default TypePool. A wrapper might not apply all features that are normally applied by Byte Buddy, if those features require control of the class loading life cycle. Neither does a wrapper define auxiliary types.

    Parameters:
    
    classVisitor - The class visitor to wrap.
    
    writerFlags - The ASM writer flags to apply.
    
    readerFlags - The ASM reader flags to apply.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new class visitor that wraps a representation of this dynamic type.
  - wrap
```
ContextClassVisitor wrap(ClassVisitor classVisitor,
                         TypePool typePool)
```
    Wraps a class visitor with the configuration that is represented by this dynamic type builder. A wrapper might not apply all features that are normally applied by Byte Buddy, if those features require control of the class loading life cycle. Neither does a wrapper define auxiliary types. It is therefore recommended to use Implementation.Context.Disabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    classVisitor - The class visitor to wrap.
    
    typePool - A type pool that is used for computing stack map frames by the underlying class writer, if required.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new class visitor that wraps a representation of this dynamic type.
  - wrap
```
ContextClassVisitor wrap(ClassVisitor classVisitor,
                         TypePool typePool,
                         int writerFlags,
                         int readerFlags)
```
    Wraps a class visitor with the configuration that is represented by this dynamic type builder. A wrapper might not apply all features that are normally applied by Byte Buddy, if those features require control of the class loading life cycle. Neither does a wrapper define auxiliary types. It is therefore recommended to use Implementation.Context.Disabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    classVisitor - The class visitor to wrap.
    
    typePool - A type pool that is used for computing stack map frames by the underlying class writer, if required.
    
    writerFlags - The ASM writer flags to apply.
    
    readerFlags - The ASM reader flags to apply.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new class visitor that wraps a representation of this dynamic type.
  - make
```
DynamicType.Unloaded<T> make()
```
    Creates the dynamic type this builder represents. If the specified dynamic type is not legal, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    Other than make(TypePool), this method supplies a context-dependant type pool to the underlying class writer. Supplying a type pool only makes sense if custom byte code is created by adding a custom AsmVisitorWrapper where ASM might be required to compute stack map frames by processing information over any mentioned type's class hierarchy.
    
    The dynamic type is initialized using a TypeResolutionStrategy.Passive strategy. Using this strategy, no LoadedTypeInitializer is run during the execution of the type's initializer such that no Implementation used for executing the initializer must rely on such an initializer.
    
    Returns:
    
    An unloaded dynamic type representing the type specified by this builder.
  - make
```
DynamicType.Unloaded<T> make(TypeResolutionStrategy typeResolutionStrategy)
```
    Creates the dynamic type this builder represents. If the specified dynamic type is not legal, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    The dynamic type is initialized using a TypeResolutionStrategy.Passive strategy. Using this strategy, no LoadedTypeInitializer is run during the execution of the type's initializer such that no Implementation used for executing the initializer must rely on such an initializer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    typeResolutionStrategy - The type resolution strategy to use for the created type's initialization.
    
    Returns:
    
    An unloaded dynamic type representing the type specified by this builder.
  - make
```
DynamicType.Unloaded<T> make(TypePool typePool)
```
    Creates the dynamic type this builder represents. If the specified dynamic type is not legal, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    The dynamic type is initialized using a TypeResolutionStrategy.Passive strategy. Using this strategy, no LoadedTypeInitializer is run during the execution of the type's initializer such that no Implementation used for executing the initializer must rely on such an initializer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    typePool - A type pool that is used for computing stack map frames by the underlying class writer, if required.
    
    Returns:
    
    An unloaded dynamic type representing the type specified by this builder.
  - make
```
DynamicType.Unloaded<T> make(TypeResolutionStrategy typeResolutionStrategy,
                             TypePool typePool)
```
    Creates the dynamic type this builder represents. If the specified dynamic type is not legal, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    typeResolutionStrategy - The type resolution strategy to use for the created type's initialization.
    
    typePool - A type pool that is used for computing stack map frames by the underlying class writer, if required.
    
    Returns:
    
    An unloaded dynamic type representing the type specified by this builder.
  - toTypeDescription
```
TypeDescription toTypeDescription()
```
    Returns a TypeDescription for the currently built type.
