24/**
25 * Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking
26 * exception (or both) during execution.  This is not quite the truth
27 * as such; because all instructions may throw an
28 * java.lang.VirtualMachineError. These exceptions are omitted.
29 *
30 * The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which
31 * <i>RUN-TIME</i> and which <i>LINKING</i> exceptions each
32 * instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers.  Due
33 * to the structure of the JVM specification, it may be possible that
34 * an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of
35 * size 0.
36 *
37 * Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any
38 * "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used for "Exception"
39 * and "Error" objects.
