61/**
62 * Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking
63 * exception (or both) during execution. This is not quite the truth
64 * as such; because all instructions may throw an
65 * java.lang.VirtualMachineError. These exceptions are omitted.
66 *
67 * The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which
68 * <i>RUN-TIME</i> and which <i>LINKING</i> exceptions each
69 * instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers. Due
70 * to the structure of the JVM specification, it may be possible that
71 * an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of
72 * size 0.
73 *
74 * Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any
75 * "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used for "Exception"
76 * and "Error" objects.
