+Current status and remaining issues in the IRInterpreter for HIR (September/18/09)
+=================================================================================
+
+Known Problems:
+With InterpretInvokedMethods disabled in C1XOptions:
+(2 fails)
+304: jtt/jvmni/JVM_GetClassContext01.java: (0) failed with false (expected true)
+557: jtt/reflect/Class_newInstance02.java: (0) failed with true (expected !java.lang.IllegalAccessException)
+
+The first problem is caused by the use of reflection in the IRInterpreter, and the calling stack is not as 
+expected by the JVM_GetClassContext01 test case. The second one is due to the private constructor of Class_newInstance01.
+Again, we are using reflection to call the newInstance() method to create an instance of class Class_newInstance01
+from the IRInterpreter class, which raises an IllegalAccessException.
+These are the only problems with all optimization levels.
+
+With InterpretInvokedMethods enabled in C1XOptions:
+(7 fails)
+245: jtt/except/Catch_StackOverflowError_03.java: (0) failed with !java.lang.InstantiationException (expected 0)
+304: jtt/jvmni/JVM_GetClassContext01.java: (0) failed with false (expected true)
+311: jtt/lang/Bridge_method01.java: (0) failed with unexpected com.sun.c1x.ci.CiBailout (expected 1)
+557: jtt/reflect/Class_newInstance02.java: (0) failed with true (expected !java.lang.IllegalAccessException)
+572: jtt/reflect/Invoke_virtual01.java: (1) failed with unexpected com.sun.c1x.ci.CiBailout (expected 55)
+575: jtt/reflect/Reflection_getCallerClass01.java: (1) failed with com.sun.c1x.debug.IRInterpreter$Evaluator (expected jtt.reflect.Reflection_getCallerClass01$Caller1)
+592: jtt/threads/Thread_isInterrupted04.java: (0) failed with false (expected true)
+
+Those are also due to reflection usage. The last problem has not been investigated.
