Proposal: Finish the concrete interpreter with common Java features.

[ftc]

I believe we should just push through and implement the concrete interpreter to handle the following features.

• Control flow
• Functions
• Objects/Dynamic dispatch
• Exceptions
• Primitive data types (Float, Bool, Double etc)

Excluded language features:

• Concurrency
• Reflection
• Class loading
• System Calls

My argument for this list is that I believe all the Jimple commands will be covered by the list of included features. This will drive development and documentation of our interface. I believe all of the excluded features show up as method invocations of library code.

@ftc What's the status on this issue? I have been looking for good places to spend my cuanto hackathon time, and this seems like something that would be useful. Have you started work on any of these that I should hold off of? Also, could you clarify what you mean by "Functions"?

[ftc]

@bennostein I think we should complete pull request #60 before doing this. We should coordinate with @jpw234 .

Makes sense to me; let's talk friday morning then.

Where are we on this? Did you guys discuss on Friday?

I added goto and conditional goto (IfStmt). There are some design choices we should probably review before I go any further.
