Information about the package, asm2, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The asm2 package is designed for, A code manipulation tool to implement adaptable systems.
Package Name:
asm2
Summary:
A code manipulation tool to implement adaptable systems
Description:
ASM is a Java bytecode manipulation framework. It can be used to dynamically generate stub classes or other proxy classes, directly in binary form, or to dynamically modify classes at load time, i.e., just before they are loaded into the Java Virtual Machine. ASM offers similar functionalities as BCEL or SERP, but is much smaller (33KB instead of 350KB for BCEL and 150KB for SERP) and faster than these tools (the overhead of a load time class transformation is of the order of 60% with ASM, 700% or more with BCEL, and 1100% or more with SERP). Indeed ASM was designed to be used in a dynamic way* and was therefore designed and implemented to be as small and as fast as possible. (* ASM can of course be used in a static way too.)
