```
@Enhance
public class Advice
extends java.lang.Object
implements AsmVisitorWrapper.ForDeclaredMethods.MethodVisitorWrapper, Implementation
```
Advice wrappers copy the code of blueprint methods to be executed before and/or after a matched method. To achieve this, a static method of a class is annotated by Advice.OnMethodEnter and/or Advice.OnMethodExit and provided to an instance of this class.

A method that is annotated with Advice.OnMethodEnter can annotate its parameters with Advice.Argument where field access to this parameter is substituted with access to the specified argument of the instrumented method. Alternatively, a parameter can be annotated by Advice.This where the this reference of the instrumented method is read when the parameter is accessed. This mechanism can also be used to assign a new value to the this reference of an instrumented method. If no annotation is used on a parameter, it is assigned the n-th parameter of the instrumented method for the n-th parameter of the advice method. All parameters must declare the exact same type as the parameters of the instrumented type or the method's declaring type for the Advice.This reference respectively if they are not marked as read-only. In the latter case, it suffices that a parameter type is a super type of the corresponding type of the instrumented method.

A method that is annotated with Advice.OnMethodExit can equally annotate its parameters with Advice.Argument and Advice.This. Additionally, it can annotate a parameter with Advice.Return to receive the original method's return value. By reassigning the return value, it is possible to replace the returned value. If an instrumented method does not return a value, this annotation must not be used. If a method returns exceptionally, the parameter is set to its default value, i.e. to 0 for primitive types and to null for reference types. The parameter's type must be equal to the instrumented method's return type if it is not set to read-only where it suffices to declare the parameter type to be of any super type to the instrumented method's return type. An exception can be read by annotating a parameter of type Throwable annotated with Advice.Thrown which is assigned the thrown Throwable or null if a method returns normally. Doing so, it is possible to exchange a thrown exception with any checked or unchecked exception.Finally, if a method annotated with Advice.OnMethodEnter exists and this method returns a value, this value can be accessed by a parameter annotated with Advice.Enter. This parameter must declare the same type as type being returned by the method annotated with Advice.OnMethodEnter. If the parameter is marked to be read-only, it suffices that the annotated parameter is of a super type of the return type of the method annotated by Advice.OnMethodEnter. If no such method exists or this method returns void, no such parameter must be declared. Any return value of a method that is annotated by Advice.OnMethodExit is discarded.

If any advice method throws an exception, the method is terminated prematurely. If the method annotated by Advice.OnMethodEnter throws an exception, the method annotated by Advice.OnMethodExit method is not invoked. If the instrumented method throws an exception, the method that is annotated by Advice.OnMethodExit is only invoked if the Advice.OnMethodExit.onThrowable() property is set to true what is the default. If this property is set to false, the Advice.Thrown annotation must not be used on any parameter.

Byte Buddy does not assert the visibility of any types that are referenced within an inlined advice method. It is the responsibility of the user of this class to assure that all types referenced within the advice methods are visible to the instrumented class. Failing to do so results in a IllegalAccessError at the instrumented class's runtime.

Advice can be used either as a AsmVisitorWrapper where any declared methods of the currently instrumented type are enhanced without replacing an existing implementation. Alternatively, advice can function as an Implementation where, by default, the original super or default method of the instrumented method is invoked. If this is not possible or undesired, the delegate implementation can be changed by specifying a wrapped implementation explicitly by wrap(Implementation).

When using an advice class as a visitor wrapper, native or abstract methods which are silently skipped when advice matches such a method.

Important: Since Java 6, class files contain stack map frames embedded into a method's byte code. When advice methods are compiled with a class file version less then Java 6 but are used for a class file that was compiled to Java 6 or newer, these stack map frames must be computed by ASM by using the ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES option. If the advice methods do not contain any branching instructions, this is not required. No action is required if the advice methods are at least compiled with Java 6 but are used on classes older than Java 6. This limitation only applies to advice methods that are inlined. Also, it is the responsibility of this class's user to assure that the advice method does not contain byte code constructs that are not supported by the class containing the instrumented method. In particular, pre Java-5 try-finally blocks cannot be inlined into classes with newer byte code levels as the jsr instruction was deprecated. Also, classes prior to Java 7 do not support the invokedynamic command which must not be contained by an advice method if the instrumented method targets an older class file format version.

Note: For the purpose of inlining, Java 5 and Java 6 byte code can be seen as the best candidate for advice methods. These versions do no longer allow subroutines, neither do they already allow invokedynamic instructions or method handles. This way, Java 5 and Java 6 byte code is compatible to both older and newer versions. One exception for backwards-incompatible byte code is the possibility to load type references from the constant pool onto the operand stack. These instructions can however easily be transformed for classes compiled to Java 4 and older by registering a TypeConstantAdjustment before the advice visitor.

Note: It is not possible to trigger break points in inlined advice methods as the debugging information of the inlined advice is not preserved. It is not possible in Java to reference more than one source file per class what makes translating such debugging information impossible. It is however possible to set break points in advice methods when invoking the original advice target. This allows debugging of advice code within unit tests that invoke the advice method without instrumentation. As a consequence of not transferring debugging information, the names of the parameters of an advice method do not matter when inlining, neither does any meta information on the advice method's body such as annotations or parameter modifiers.

Note: The behavior of this component is undefined if it is supplied with invalid byte code what might result in runtime exceptions.

Note: When using advice from a Java agent with an AgentBuilder, it often makes sense to not include any library-specific code in the agent's jar file. For being able to locate the advice code in the context of the library dependencies, Byte Buddy offers an AgentBuilder.Transformer.ForAdvice implementation that allows registering the agent's class file locators for assembly of the advice class's description at runtime and with respect to the specific user dependencies.

  - prepare
```
public InstrumentedType prepare(InstrumentedType instrumentedType)
```
    Prepares a given instrumented type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    prepare in interface InstrumentedType.Prepareable
    
    Parameters:
    
    instrumentedType - The instrumented type in its current form.
    
    Returns:
    
    The prepared instrumented type.
  - appender

    Specified by:
    
    appender in interface Implementation
    
    Parameters:
    
    implementationTarget - The target of the current implementation.
    
    Returns:
    
    A byte code appender for implementing methods delegated to this implementation. This byte code appender is also responsible for handling methods that were added by this implementation on the call to InstrumentedType.Prepareable.prepare(InstrumentedType).
  - withAssigner
```
public Advice withAssigner(Assigner assigner)
```
    Configures this advice to use the specified assigner. Any previous or default assigner is replaced.
    
    Parameters:
    
    assigner - The assigner to use,
