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