Re: ASM and gnu.bytecode

[Audrius Meskauskas]

Only part of RMIC (direct bytecode generation) is really dependent from 
ASM. That part which supports the source code generation is not 
dependent, was a separate compiler in the past and can be easily 
separated apart again. If we do not like ASM, this should make using the 
alternative replacement easier, as only the bytecode generating part 
needs to be rewritten. The classes being generated are also relatively 
simple.
