# Interface LocalVariableTypeTableAttribute

All Superinterfaces:
  `Attribute<LocalVariableTypeTableAttribute>, ClassFileElement`

public sealed interface LocalVariableTypeTableAttribute extends Attribute<LocalVariableTypeTableAttribute>
Models the `LocalVariableTypeTable` attribute (JVMS 4.7.14), which records debug information about local variables with generic types. Its entries are delivered as `LocalVariableType`s when traversing the elements of a `CodeModel`, which can be toggled by `ClassFile.DebugElementsOption`.

This attribute only appears on `Code` attributes, and permits multiple instances in a `Code` attribute. It has a data dependency on labels.

This attribute cannot be sent to a `CodeBuilder`; its entries can be constructed with `LocalVariableType`, resulting in at most one attribute instance in the built `Code` attribute.

The attribute was introduced in the Java SE Platform version 5.0, major version 49.

API Note:
  Only local variables that have generic field types need to be described by this attribute. If a local variable is described in a `LocalVariableTypeTable` attribute, it must also be described in a `LocalVariableTable` attribute.
