 109      *

 112      * and {@link #staticFieldBase} (respectively) from the
 113      * reflective {@link Field} representation of some Java field.
 114      *
 115      * <li>The object referred to by <code>o</code> is an array, and the offset
 116      * is an integer of the form <code>B+N*S</code>, where <code>N</code> is
 117      * a valid index into the array, and <code>B</code> and <code>S</code> are

 133      * <em>single-register</em> addressing mode for non-Java variables.
 134      * However, because Java variables may have a different layout in memory
 135      * from non-Java variables, programmers should not assume that these
