I have found out some more. Looking really quickly over the JVM specs, I
found that
indeed the astore-command requires that the variables index be below 128.
However,
the book also said that if more index space is needed, a "wide" command can
be used to
be able to address up to 65xxx variables.
Question: is there a possibility to integrate this "wide"-command into the
class compiler?
Some option, that can be set? Or am I on the wrong tracks?
Please help, since I want to avoid spreading the script over many classes to
avoid the
size limitation. Cheers, Sylvia
