023/**
024 * A PassVerifier actually verifies a class file; it is instantiated
025 * by a Verifier.
026 * The verification should conform with a certain pass as described
027 * in The Java Virtual Machine Specification, 2nd edition.
028 * This book describes four passes. Pass one means loading the
029 * class and verifying a few static constraints. Pass two actually
030 * verifies some other constraints that could enforce loading in
031 * referenced class files. Pass three is the first pass that actually
032 * checks constraints in the code array of a method in the class file;
033 * it has two parts with the first verifying static constraints and
034 * the second part verifying structural constraints (where a data flow
035 * analysis is used for). The fourth pass, finally, performs checks
036 * that can only be done at run-time.
037 * JustIce does not have a run-time pass, but certain constraints that
038 * are usually delayed until run-time for performance reasons are also
039 * checked during the second part of pass three.
040 * PassVerifier instances perform caching.
041 * That means, if you really want a new verification run of a certain
042 * pass you must use a new instance of a given PassVerifier.
