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