    - #### getGuardedInvocation

          public GuardedInvocation getGuardedInvocation​(LinkRequest linkRequest,
                                                        LinkerServices linkerServices)
                                                 throws Exception

      Delegates the call to its component linkers. The first non-null value returned from a component linker is returned. If no component linker returns a non-null invocation, null is returned.
      Specified by:
        `getGuardedInvocation` in interface `GuardingDynamicLinker`
      Parameters:
        `linkRequest` - the object describing the request for linking a particular invocation
        `linkerServices` - linker services
      Returns:
        the first non-null return value from a component linker, or null if none of the components returned a non-null.
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if the operation fails for whatever reason
