      The Java Virtual Machine Specification, 5.4.1 Verification reads:

      The representation of a class or interface is verified to ensure that its
      binary representation is structurally valid (passes 2 and 3 of 4.9.1).
      ...

      Verification must detect the following error:

           If the representation of the class or interface does not satisfy the static or
           structural constraints listed in Section 4.8, "Constraints on Java Virtual
           Machine Code," verification throws a VerifyError.

      (end of citation).

      But Section 4.8 describes constraints on Code attribute, which are checked
      on pass 3. What should be thrown if pass 2 failed, is not defined.
