Definitely mutable initial state would be the way to go, with a queue.

08:58

Definitely the first thing I should do is verify super classes and interfaces to make sure they are correct and do not recursively go all over the place.

09:02

In the __Ext_ classes I really should do native.

Ok, so thinking about it, having a single immutable verification state would be a bit complicated. I can have a builder and do everything at once. In most cases everything will always be verified, there just has to be one verification miss for everything to fail. Maybe what I need is an initial stage one processor pipeline in the JIT. Basically, instead of everything in one spot I have it where different functions of the verifier are in different locations. So basically, the first initial thing to create is the inheritence tree which checks for recursion and knows about which classes implement what. This would be the basic first step in verification. The inheritence tree would be mutable in a way where new classes such as arrays and primitive types could be added so to speak as a kind of virtual class. So basically, there will be virtual class files for arrays and such, as they are needed. But once all the inheritence and tree information is loaded, it can be locked in for the most part.

12:31

The inheritence tree will basically for the most part just contain information related to inheritence, it will not care about fields or anything else like that. It will keep a cache and have a means of figuring out if a class extends another class or is an instance or whatever.

13:05

Ok so groups are represented in classes because that will be important.

13:07

It would actually be great if JITInput was mutable and no more new classes could be attached to it as such.

14:26

One thing that is known is that special classes such as for primitive types and arrays, they will never have any actual methods. As such they do not need to be verified at all.

15:40

So after the inheritence tree is known, it is then the class structure which mostly consists of methods and such. Since it has to be known after the inheritence information, due to extended and potential abstracts and such.

17:07

For methods I will need a unique method index which basically just has it where methods are entirely in their own group of things.

Ok, so I spent all day programming for the most part. I wrote a bunch of new code which I like so far, just need to continue it tomorrow. Mostly just a bunch of refactoring and thinking. But when I reach the interpreter things should be a bit better.
