/**
 * A PassVerifier actually verifies a class file; it is instantiated by a Verifier. The verification should conform with
 * a certain pass as described in The Java Virtual Machine Specification, 2nd edition. This book describes four passes.
 * Pass one means loading the class and verifying a few static constraints. Pass two actually verifies some other
 * constraints that could enforce loading in referenced class files. Pass three is the first pass that actually checks
 * constraints in the code array of a method in the class file; it has two parts with the first verifying static
 * constraints and the second part verifying structural constraints (where a data flow analysis is used for). The fourth
 * pass, finally, performs checks that can only be done at run-time. JustIce does not have a run-time pass, but certain
 * constraints that are usually delayed until run-time for performance reasons are also checked during the second part
 * of pass three. PassVerifier instances perform caching. That means, if you really want a new verification run of a
 * certain pass you must use a new instance of a given PassVerifier.
