7.2.2 ClassModifiers Attribute

This attribute represents BML class modifiers. The format of the attribute is as follows:

     ClassModifiers_attribute {
       u2 attribute_name_index;
       u4 attribute_length;
       u4 BML_flags;
     }

The meaning of the fields:

attribute_name_index - index in the constant pool of the attribute name (org.bmlspecs.ClassModifiers)
attribute_length - length in bytes of the whole structure
BML_flags - the flags that are set for the class. At the moment, no flags are allowed¹.

Footnotes

[1] As mentioned above, in future extensions of BML, more advanced specification constructs, e.g., model classes, might require the use of class modifiers. Therefore, the attribute is defined anyway.
