Overview

Jump label for the branch instructions. The use scenarios for labels:

1. Used and then set
     g.gif label
     ...
     label.set!
2. Set and then used
     label.set!
     ...
     g.git label
3. 1, 2

Many labels are only used once. This class employs two small optimizations. First, for the case where a label is used once then set, the label merely records the point it was used and updates that location to the concrete IP when the label is set. In the case where the label is used multiple times, it records each location and updates them to an IP when the label is set. In both cases, once the label is set, each use after that updates the instruction stream with a concrete IP at the point the label is used. This avoids the need to ever record all the labels or search through the stream later to change symbolic labels into concrete IP’s.
