32 Provides some useful class and method adapters. <i>The preferred way of using
33 these adapters is by chaining them together and to custom adapters (instead of
34 inheriting from them)</i>. Indeed this approach provides more combination
35 possibilities than inheritance. For instance, suppose you want to implement an
36 adapter MyAdapter than needs sorted local variables and intermediate stack map
37 frame values taking into account the local variables sort. By using inheritance,
38 this would require MyAdapter to extend AnalyzerAdapter, itself extending
39 LocalVariablesSorter. But AnalyzerAdapter is not a subclass of
40 LocalVariablesSorter, so this is not possible. On the contrary, by using
41 delegation, you can make LocalVariablesSorter delegate to AnalyzerAdapter,
42 itself delegating to MyAdapter. In this case AnalyzerAdapter computes
43 intermediate frames based on the output of LocalVariablesSorter, and MyAdapter
44 can add new locals by calling the newLocal method on LocalVariablesSorter, and
45 can get the stack map frame state before each instruction by reading the locals
46 and stack fields in AnalyzerAdapter (this requires references from MyAdapter
47 back to LocalVariablesSorter and AnalyzerAdapter).
