22 * Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking exception (or both) during execution. This is not quite
23 * the truth as such; because all instructions may throw a {@link VirtualMachineError}. These exceptions are omitted.
24 *
25 * The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which <em>RUN-TIME</em> and which <em>LINKING</em> exceptions each
26 * instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers. Due to the structure of the JVM specification, it may
27 * be possible that an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of size 0.

29 * Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used
30 * for "Exception" and "Error" objects.
