hg: valhalla/valhalla/jdk: Initial implementation of metacircular interpreter

[Rémi Forax]

Hi Peter,
my guess, let say you want to prototype the u-opcodes of John's talk at JVMLS.
What would you do ?

Btw, there is a complementary approach which is to use the existing bytecode interpreter and encode for every u-opcode a cascade of if/else on the type, the bytecode verifier will bark but you can deactivate it (the JIT may also crash if it is too curious a look the code of never executed branches).
