21  * Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking
22  * exception (or both) during execution.  This is not quite the truth
23  * as such; because all instructions may throw an
24  * java.lang.VirtualMachineError. These exceptions are omitted.
25  *
26  * The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which
27  * <i>RUN-TIME</i> and which <i>LINKING</i> exceptions each
28  * instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers.  Due
29  * to the structure of the JVM specification, it may be possible that
30  * an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of
31  * size 0.
32  *
33  * Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any
34  * "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used for "Exception"
35  * and "Error" objects.
