  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.
