Java exception checks are designed to ensure that any faulting instruction causing a hardware exception does not terminate the program abnormally. These checks, however, impose so...
The support for precise exceptions in Java, combined with frequent checks for runtime exceptions, leads to severe limitations on the compiler’s ability to perform program optimiz...
Many excepting instructions cannot be removed by existing Partial Redundancy Elimination (PRE) algorithms because the ordering constraints must be preserved between the excepting ...
The Java programming language requires that out-of-bounds array accesses produce runtime exceptions. In general, this requires a dynamic bounds check each time an array element is...
