public abstract static class WyilFile.Block
extends Object
implements wybs.lang.SyntacticElement

A block is an chunk of information within a WyIL file. For example, it might be a declaration for a type, constant, function or method. However, other kinds of block are possible, such as for storing documentation, debug information, etc.

A block may have zero or more "attributes" associated with it. Attributes provide meta-information about the block which, although not strictly necessary for execution, are typically helpful. Such information includes additional type information, variable naming information, etc.
