                                 Label[] labels)
        Reads a type attribute. This method must return a new Attribute object, of type type, corresponding to the len bytes starting at the given offset, in the given class reader.
        Parameters:
        cr - the class that contains the attribute to be read.
        off - index of the first byte of the attribute's content in cr.b. The 6 attribute header bytes, containing the type and the length of the attribute, are not taken into account here.
        len - the length of the attribute's content.
        buf - buffer to be used to call readUTF8, readClass or readConst.
        codeOff - index of the first byte of code's attribute content in cr.b, or -1 if the attribute to be read is not a code attribute. The 6 attribute header bytes, containing the type and the length of the attribute, are not taken into account here.
        labels - the labels of the method's code, or null if the attribute to be read is not a code attribute.
        Returns:
        a new Attribute object corresponding to the given bytes.
