The different stubs, what they are for..

[Peter Helfer]

I'm trying to compile a small overview about the interpreter, and how it
works all together. I stumbled across some Stubs I don't know yet the
precise meaning or intention behind, could somebody correct my assumptions ?

- early_ret(TosState) //  forced return by debugger/JVMTI, removes
activation frame, puts assignment compatible result on stack ?
- slow signature handler // what is that for ?
- continuation handler(TosState) // it sets interpreter mode (by setting
last_sp = NULL_WORD), and continues dispatching


Thanks, Peter
