I was wondering if there is a bytecode instrumentation library similar to
asm for C/C++.

Since ASM is written in Java, it can only be used within a javaagent.
This limits its ability to instrument classes loaded before the java agent
loads.

For example, we would like to add fields to the java.lang.Thread class.
This can only be done through a native agent, since by the time the
javaagent loads, the Thread class is already loaded and thus we cannot add
fields to it.
