Re: [Sablevm-developer] Flushing strategy ....

[Gunda D. <sab...@ho...>]

Sorry, another question. In file constants.h you have

/* interpreter flags */
#define SVM_INTRP_FLAG_UNUSED 0
#define SVM_INTRP_FLAG_SPECIAL 1
#define SVM_INTRP_FLAG_INLINEABLE 2
#define SVM_INTRP_FLAG_CONTAINS_BRANCH_OR_CALL 3

The meaning of _UNUSED, _INLINEABLE and _BRANCH_OR_CALL seems obvious. What 
is _SPECIAL ? Is it inlinebale or not ?

Thanks.
