Hi,

Please review this change to add checks to the verifier for the following:

  1. Not allow the operand for a NEW or MONITOR* opcode be a value type.
  2. Require that the reference operand for a WITHFIELD or DEFAULTVALUE opcode be a value type.
  3. Not allow the field for a PUTFIELD opcode to be in a value type unless the current method is named "".

Also, some of the existing test cases in verfierTests.jcod were modified to add the ValueTypes attribute.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hseigel/vt_verifier_checks/webrev/index.html

The fix was tested with JCK Lang and VM tests, Hotspot JTReg tests, and with many JDK JTReg tests.

Thanks, Harold
