serp is Byte-code manipulation framework

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install serp on Fedora 34.

What is serp

The goal of the serp byte-code framework is to tap the full power of byte-code modification while lowering its associated costs. The framework provides a set of high-level APIs for manipulating all aspects of byte-code, from large-scale structures like class member fields to the individual instructions that comprise the code of methods. While in order to perform any advanced manipulation, some understanding of the class file format and especially of the JVM instruction set is necessary, the framework makes it as easy as possible to enter the world of byte-code development.
