public final class SyntheticAttribute_info
extends Attribute_info

The Synthetic attribute is a fixed-length attribute in the attributes table of ClassFile, Field_info, and Method_info structures. A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute.

The Synthetic attribute has the following format:

 Synthetic_attribute {
          u2 attribute_name_index;
          u4 attribute_length;
 }
 

The value of the attribute_name_index item must be a valid index into the constant_pool table. The constant_pool entry at that index must be a CONSTANT_Utf8_info structure representing the string "Synthetic".

The value of the attribute_length item is zero.
