***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

Debug text is good for debugging.

Before I did all this work for CHECKCAST. I could do it again as that
operation is simple enough in SSA to do, however it requires some branching
and usage of INSTANCEOF. CHECKCAST is basically just if (!(o instanceof
class)) throw new ClassCastException("" + class); else co = (class)o;. Doing
it this way however could allow for SSA optimizations and such. However if the
input object is null then it stays as is. The Java decoder does not exactly
know the types of variables on the stack. I should add some type safety to the
stack operations and such.

Well that could be done, however that would complicate the Java stack
handling. Although it would be more type safe the actual encoder from SSA
could handle stronger values being set for objects. In fact, that could be
done on operation creation.

Now that I have a single method translated so far I can translate it into
native code before I work on other methods. Doing it this will I will have the
bulk of SSA operations to handle.
