AW: Create OpenJDK without "code too large".

[Pascal Kesseli]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your quick response. Is it merely a formal limit or is it
actually necessary, given the way the VM is currently implemented? Could I,
with reasonable effort, remove the limit from both VM and compiler?

Thanks,
Pascal

Not really.  The code size is a VM limitation.
