Agent Instructions

1. Read Spec Pages:

   • Read the generic JVM spec: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se6/html/Instructions.doc.html
   • Read the specific instruction page for dsub: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se6/html/Instructions2.doc3.html
   • Note the exact format, operand stack effect, description, linking exceptions, runtime exceptions, and notes for dsub.

2. Read Wiki Pages:

   • First, check if .wiki/ directory exists. If not, clone it:
     git clone git@github.com:LSantha/jnode_ai.wiki.git .wiki
   • Review JIT-Compilers.md to understand the 3-tier compilation model.
   • Review L1-Compiler.md for L1A/L1B implementation details.
   • Review L2-Compiler-Deep-Dive.md for L2 specifics.
   • Review Type-System-Internals.md for type/category rules that affect stack and local-variable handling.

3. Analyze Implementations:
   Focus on the JNode bytecode parser, visitor contract, and all compiler implementations that can execute or lower this instruction:

   • Parser / opcode dispatch: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/bytecode/BytecodeParser.java
   • Visitor contract: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/bytecode/BytecodeVisitor.java
   • l1a: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/X86BytecodeVisitor.java
   • l1b: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/X86BytecodeVisitor.java
   • l2 support: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l2/L2ByteCodeSupportChecker.java
   • l2 code generation: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l2/GenericX86CodeGenerator.java
   • Operand stack behavior: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/ItemStack.java, core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/ItemStack.java, core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/VirtualStack.java, core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/VirtualStack.java
   • Local variable / frame behavior: core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/X86StackFrame.java, core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/X86StackFrame.java, core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l2/X86StackFrame.java

   For dsub, also focus on this instruction family context: arithmetic and local increment.

   • core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/bytecode/BytecodeVisitor.java — visitor method signature for arithmetic/iinc instructions.
   • core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/X86BytecodeVisitor.java and core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/X86BytecodeVisitor.java — arithmetic lowering and stack operand order.
   • core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/ItemStack.java and core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/ItemStack.java — category-1/category-2 operand tracking.
   • core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1a/X86StackFrame.java and core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l1b/X86StackFrame.java — local index handling for iinc.
   • core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l2/L2ByteCodeSupportChecker.java and core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/x86/compiler/l2/GenericX86CodeGenerator.java — L2 support and code generation.

4. Verify Spec Compliance:
   Check the implementation against the dsub spec page and the JNode code focus above. In particular, verify:

   • Verify operand stack effect and result type/category.
   • Check integer division/remainder by zero behavior where the spec requires an exception.
   • Check floating-point special values (NaN, infinities, signed zero) where relevant.
   • For iinc, verify local index decoding, signed increment, and wide handling.

5. Document Results:
   Add a comment to this issue with the following format. Do not open a PR and do not change source code or wiki pages for this ticket.
