Comment on JVM exceptions are weird: a decompiler perspective

Comments

Doesn't JRE has some limited form of decompilation in its JIT, as a pre-pass? IIRC, it reconstructs the basic blocks and CFG from the bytecode and does some minor optimizations before going on to regalloc and codegen.

It's hard to call it decompilation as opposed to just regular compilation though.
