Hi all,
re-reading the spec,
  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dlsmith/values.html
i've remarked that it seems that the spec is a forked from the JVMS 8 and not 
JVMS 9.

I'm planning to create an alpha release of ASM 7 by forking ASM 6 that does 
already implement the JVMS 9 (from the Java Platform Module Spec),
i hope this is not an issue.

Thinking a little more about that, there is an issue with integrating ASM 7 
into the valhalla repository, currently the code inside the JDK relies on ASM 
5.1 and not ASM 6.
The difference between ASM 6 and ASM 5 is that in ASM 5, the attribute "Module" 
is seen as an unknown attribute so ASM ask the user code to provide a 
description of the attribute, in ASM 6, ASM recognizes the attribute "Module" 
and redirect all the info to a specific ModuleVisitor, so before to be able to 
use ASM 7 with the new v-opcodes inside the JDK, i think that the JDK sources 
has to be updated to use ASM 6 first.

regards,
Rémi
