      Get and put logic is currently executed from the template interpreter, which can be extremely difficult to debug. We should move the logic for [get/put]field_or_static into interpreterRuntime.cpp, so that the implementation is similar to that of anewarray. This change will directly simplify the coming changes for value types (and friends) by eliminating 4 sections of platform dependent blocks of assembly code and replacing them with a C++ implementation.
