Review Request: Add fast bytecode support to C++ interpreter

[Gary Benson]

Hi all,

HotSpot has the capability to rewrite the bytecode stream, for example
to combine common instruction pairs, but the C++ interpreter has no
support for this.  This webrev adds support for backing out over
rewritten bytecodes to the C++ interpreter, in much the same way as I
believe the template interpreter does.

This was contributed by Edward Nevill, who has signed the SCA.  His
original mail is here:

I don't have a bug id for this.

Cheers,
Gary
