+ * Perform a depth-first iteration over the class hierarchy, applying

+ * This class is one half of the inheritance hierarchy analysis mechanism.
+ * It is meant to be used in conjunction with another class, the algorithm,
+ * which is indicated by the ALGO template parameter.  This class can be
+ * paired with any algorithm class that provides the required methods.
+ *
+ * This class contains all the mechanics for iterating over the class hierarchy
+ * starting at a particular root, without recursing (thus limiting stack growth
+ * from this point).  It visits each superclass (if present) and superinterface
+ * in a depth-first manner, with callbacks to the ALGO class as each class is
+ * encountered (visit()), The algorithm can cut-off further exploration of a
+ * particular branch by returning 'false' from a visit() call.
+ *
+ * The ALGO class, must provide a visit() method, which each of which will be
+ * called once for each node in the inheritance tree during the iteration.  In
+ * addition, it can provide a memory block via new_node_data(InstanceKlass*),
+ * which it can use for node-specific storage (and access via the
+ * current_data() and data_at_depth(int) methods).
+ *
+ * Bare minimum needed to be an ALGO class:
+ * class Algo : public HierarchyVisitor<Algo> {
+ *   void* new_node_data(InstanceKlass* cls) { return NULL; }
+ *   void free_node_data(void* data) { return; }
+ *   bool visit() { return true; }

+ * A formal type parameter may be found in the the enclosing class, but it could

+ *
+ * class Outer<T,V> {
+ *   class Inner<W> {
+ *     void m(T t, V v, W w);
+ *   }
+ * }
+ *
+ * In this case, the type variables in m()'s signature are not all found in the
+ * immediate enclosing class (Inner).  class Inner has only type parameter W,
+ * but it's outer_class field will reference Outer's descriptor which contains
+ * T & V (no outer_method in this case).
+ *
+ * If you have an anonymous class, it has both an enclosing method *and* an
+ * enclosing class where type parameters can be declared:
+ *
+ * class MOuter<T> {
+ *   <V> void bar(V v) {
+ *     Runnable r = new Runnable() {
+ *       public void run() {}
+ *       public void foo(T t, V v) { ... }
+ *     };
+ *   }
+ * }
+ *
+ * In this case, foo will be a member of some class, Runnable$1, which has no
+ * formal parameters itself, but has an outer_method (bar()) which provides
+ * type parameter V, and an outer class MOuter with type parameter T.
+ *
+ * It is also possible that the outer class is itself an inner class to some
+ * other class (or an anonymous class with an enclosing method), so we need to
+ * follow the outer_class/outer_method chain to it's end when looking for a
+ * type parameter.
