                 * called, instead the result of the previous transformation is reused.
                 * In all other cases, this method is called.
                 * Within each of these groupings, transformers are called in the order registered.
                 * Native transformers are provided by the <code>ClassFileLoadHook</code> event
                 * in the Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface).
                 * <P>
                 * The input (via the <code>classfileBuffer</code> parameter) to the first
                 * transformer is:

                 * <li>for new class definition,
                 * the bytes passed to <code>ClassLoader.defineClass</code>
                 * </li>
                 * <li>for class redefinition,
                 * <code>definitions.getDefinitionClassFile()</code> where
                 * <code>definitions</code> is the parameter to
                 * {@link java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation#redefineClasses
                 * Instrumentation.redefineClasses}
                 * </li>
                 * <li>for class retransformation,
                 * the bytes passed to the new class definition or, if redefined,
                 * the last redefinition, with all transformations made by retransformation
                 * incapable transformers reapplied automatically and unaltered;
                 * for details see

                 * </ul>
                 * <P>
                 * If the implementing method determines that no transformations are needed,
                 * it should return <code>null</code>.
                 * Otherwise, it should create a new <code>byte[]</code> array,
                 * copy the input <code>classfileBuffer</code> into it,
                 * along with all desired transformations, and return the new array.
                 * The input <code>classfileBuffer</code> must not be modified.
                 * <P>
                 * In the retransform and redefine cases,
                 * the transformer must support the redefinition semantics:
                 * if a class that the transformer changed during initial definition is later
                 * retransformed or redefined, the
                 * transformer must insure that the second class output class file is a legal
                 * redefinition of the first output class file.
                 * <P>
                 * If the transformer throws an exception (which it doesn't catch),
                 * subsequent transformers will still be called and the load, redefine
                 * or retransform will still be attempted.
                 * Thus, throwing an exception has the same effect as returning <code>null</code>.
                 * To prevent unexpected behavior when unchecked exceptions are generated
                 * in transformer code, a transformer can catch <code>Throwable</code>.
                 * If the transformer believes the <code>classFileBuffer</code> does not
                 * represent a validly formatted class file, it should throw
                 * an <code>IllegalClassFormatException</code>;
                 * while this has the same effect as returning null. it facilitates the
                 * logging or debugging of format corruptions.
                 * @param loader                the defining loader of the class to be transformed,
                 *                               may be <code>null</code> if the bootstrap loader
                 * @param className             the name of the class in the internal form of fully
                 *                               qualified class and interface names as defined in
