-// Note: The bcx usually contains the bcp; however during GC it contains the bci
-//       (changed by gc_prologue() and gc_epilogue()) to be Method* position
-//       independent. These accessors make sure the correct value is returned
-//       by testing the range of the bcx value. bcp's are guaranteed to be above
-//       max_method_code_size, since methods are always allocated in OldSpace and
-//       Eden is allocated before OldSpace.
-//
-//       The bcp is accessed sometimes during GC for ArgumentDescriptors; than
-//       the correct translation has to be performed (was bug).
