Statements

Jumps

JSOP_AND [-1, +1] (JUMP, DETECTING, LEFTASSOC)

Value	69 (0x45)
Operands	int32_t offset
Length	5
Stack Uses	cond
Stack Defs	cond

Converts the top of stack value into a boolean, if the result is false, jumps to a 32-bit offset from the current bytecode.

JSOP_GOTO [-0, +0] (JUMP)

Value	6 (0x06)
Operands	int32_t offset
Length	5
Stack Uses
Stack Defs

Jumps to a 32-bit offset from the current bytecode.

JSOP_IFEQ [-1, +0] (JUMP, DETECTING)

Value	7 (0x07)
Operands	int32_t offset
Length	5
Stack Uses	cond
Stack Defs

Pops the top of stack value, converts it into a boolean, if the result is false, jumps to a 32-bit offset from the current bytecode.

The idea is that a sequence like JSOP_ZERO; JSOP_ZERO; JSOP_EQ; JSOP_IFEQ; JSOP_RETURN; reads like a nice linear sequence that will execute the return.

JSOP_IFNE [-1, +0] (JUMP)

Value	8 (0x08)
Operands	int32_t offset
Length	5
Stack Uses	cond
Stack Defs

Pops the top of stack value, converts it into a boolean, if the result is true, jumps to a 32-bit offset from the current bytecode.

     ...
     default:
       D;
   }

the bytecode looks like this:

   (EXPR)
   condswitch
   (V0)
   case ->C0
   ...
   default ->D
   (C0)
   ...
   (D)

Note that code for all case-labels is emitted first, then code for the body of each case clause.

uint8 hops:  the number of scope objects to skip to find the ScopeObject
             containing the variable being accessed
uint24 slot: the slot containing the variable in the ScopeObject (this
