/**
* 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.
