Constructs a new ClassWriter object and enables optimizations for "mostly add" bytecode transformations. These optimizations are the following: 

  
The constant pool and bootstrap methods from the original class are copied as is in the
      new class, which saves time. New constant pool entries and new bootstrap methods will be
      added at the end if necessary, but unused constant pool entries or bootstrap methods
      won't be removed.
  
Methods that are not transformed are copied as is in the new class, directly from the
      original class bytecode (i.e. without emitting visit events for all the method
      instructions), which saves a lot of time. Untransformed methods are detected by the fact that the ClassReader receives MethodVisitor objects that come from a ClassWriter (and not from any other ClassVisitor instance). 
Params:
classReader – the ClassReader used to read the original class. It will be used to copy the entire constant pool and bootstrap methods from the original class and also to copy other fragments of original bytecode where applicable.
flags – option flags that can be used to modify the default behavior of this class.Must be zero or more of COMPUTE_MAXS and COMPUTE_FRAMES. These option flags do
    not affect methods that are copied as is in the new class. This means that neither the

Adds a method reference to the constant pool of the class being build. Does nothing if the

Params:
owner – the internal name of the method's owner class.
name – the method's name.
descriptor – the method's descriptor.
isInterface – true if owner is an interface.
Returns:
the index of a new or already existing method reference item./**

Returns the common super type of the two given types. The default implementation of this method
loads the two given classes and uses the java.lang.Class methods to find the common
super class. It can be overridden to compute this common super type in other ways, in
particular without actually loading any class, or to take into account the class that is
currently being generated by this ClassWriter, which can of course not be loaded since it is
under construction.
Params:
type1 – the internal name of a class.
type2 – the internal name of another class.
Returns:
the internal name of the common super class of the two given classes./**
