                             boolean isRuntimeVisible)

      Constructs an instance.
      Parameters:
        `annotationType` - the subclass type of the annotation
        `nameIndex` - Index pointing to the name Code
        `length` - Content length in bytes
        `annotationTable` - the actual annotations
        `constantPool` - Array of constants
        `isRuntimeVisible` - whether this Annotation visible at runtime

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          public void accept(Visitor v)

      Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitly defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
      Specified by:
        `accept` in interface `Node`
      Specified by:
        `accept` in class `Attribute`
      Parameters:
        `v` - Visitor object

    - #### copy

          public Attribute copy(ConstantPool constantPool)

      Specified by:
        `copy` in class `Attribute`
      Returns:
        deep copy of this attribute

    - #### getAnnotationEntries

          public AnnotationEntry[] getAnnotationEntries()

      Gets the array of annotation entries in this annotation

    - #### getNumAnnotations

          public final int getNumAnnotations()

      Gets the number of annotation entries in this annotation.
      Returns:
        the number of annotation entries in this annotation

    - #### isRuntimeVisible

          public boolean isRuntimeVisible()

    - #### iterator

          public Iterator<AnnotationEntry> iterator()

      Specified by:
        `iterator` in interface `Iterable<AnnotationEntry>`

    - #### setAnnotationTable

          public final void setAnnotationTable(AnnotationEntry[] annotationTable)

      Sets the entries to set in this annotation.
      Parameters:
        `annotationTable` - the entries to set in this annotation

    - #### toString

          public final String toString()

      Converts to a String representation.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Attribute`
      Returns:
        String representation

    - #### writeAnnotations

          protected void writeAnnotations(DataOutputStream dos)
                                   throws IOException

      Throws:
        `IOException`
