+// A Method* represents a Java method.
+//
+// Memory layout (each line represents a word). Note that most applications load thousands of methods,
+// so keeping the size of this structure small has a big impact on footprint.
+//
+// We put all oops and method_size first for better gc cache locality.
+//
+// The actual bytecodes are inlined after the end of the Method struct.
+//
+// There are bits in the access_flags telling whether inlined tables are present.
+// Note that accessing the line number and local variable tables is not performance critical at all.
+// Accessing the checked exceptions table is used by reflection, so we put that last to make access
+// to it fast.
+//
+// The line number table is compressed and inlined following the byte codes. It is found as the first
+// byte following the byte codes. The checked exceptions table and the local variable table are inlined
+// after the line number table, and indexed from the end of the method. We do not compress the checked
+// exceptions table since the average length is less than 2, and do not bother to compress the local
+// variable table either since it is mostly absent.
+//
+// Note that native_function and signature_handler has to be at fixed offsets (required by the interpreter)
