  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.
