OT Bytecode Attributes/OTSpecialAccess

Attribute OTSpecialAccess

Intent

This attribute combines information about several situations where accessing one element across classes requires special treatment:

• decapsulation (base method accessed by role) => OTRE removes protection
• callout-to-field (base field accessed by role) => OTRE adds setter/getter
• base-class access -- two situations

• base-class decapsulation (role accesses invisible base-class) => OTRE removes protection
• super-base-class access (team adapts a super of a declared base-class)

The items of the OTSpecialAccess structure are as follows:

• attribute_name_index
