DISCLAIMER: These notes are from the defunct k8 project which precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26! The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it.

What I can do with flow control is visualize it with dot graphs and then use vigraph to see how it looks.
05:30
And I made those graphviz dots so I can determine how the flow happens through a method, would be handy for generation so I can confirm whether the translation to a register based virtual machine is valid by looking at some graphs.
05:51
Some of these graphs are gigantic and I cannot render them as PNGs because they are so large for some methods. I could probably reduce the graph size if I remove lots of arguments.
08:10
Looking at some of the generated graphs there are gotos right after comparisons but that is most likely just the lack of some information in the graphs.
08:27
I can reuse the stack op stuff, but I need something better for storage when it is actually used.

I might be able to make better graphs by grouping exceptions together in blocks rather than having single lines spit out of all the exception zones. Could work as clusters possibly.
13:56
Except that nodes cannot exist in multiple clusters at the same time which is rather a let down. I would have to specially handle this by making new subgraphs where there are shared nodes with exceptions.

Might be best to have a single graph generating API so that I do not duplicate code when I need to generate graphs of sorts. This would also be handy when I generate graphs of the register form too.
