<h1>filled-new-array</h1>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p>
Construct an array of the given type and size, filling it with the supplied
contents. The type must be an array type. The array's contents must be
single-word (that is, no arrays of long or double). The constructed instance is
stored as a "result" in the same way that the method invocation instructions
store their results, so the constructed instance must be moved to a register
with a subsequent move-result-object instruction (if it is to be used).

<h2>Constraints</h2>
<ul>
<li>
The value B must not be greater than 5.
</li>
<li>
If B > 0, then D must be a valid register index in the current stack frame.
</li>
<li>
If B > 1, then E must be a valid register index in the current stack frame.
</li>
<li>
If B > 2, then F must be a valid register index in the current stack frame.
</li>
<li>
If B > 3, then G must be a valid register index in the current stack frame.
</li>
<li>
If B > 4, then A must be a valid register index in the current stack frame.
</li>
<li>
C must be a valid index into the type pool.
</li>
<li>
The type denoted by C must be a valid array type descriptor.
</li>
<li>
The element size of the type denoted by C must be no larger than 32 bits.
</li>
<li>
If the element type is a primitive type, then all actual arguments
(vD .. vA, depending on B) must be primitive, too.
</li>
<li>
If the element type is a reference type, then all actual arguments
(vD .. vA, depending on B) must be references, too.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Behavior</h2>
<ul>
<li>
An attempt is made to get a reference to the type T the name of which is
contained in type pool entry C.
</li>
<li>
If T is a reference type and it has not been loaded and resolved before, it
is being loaded and resolved. All exceptions that are possible during class
loading can occur at this point.
</li>
<li>
An attempt is made to create a new array R of type T and length B. All
exceptions that are possible during instantiation can occur at this point.
</li>
<li>
The elements of R are filled according to the following rules:
<ul>
<li>
If B > 0 then R[0] = vD
</li>
<li>
If B > 1 then R[1] = vE
</li>
<li>
If B > 2 then R[2] = vF
</li>
<li>
If B > 3 then R[3] = vG
</li>
<li>
If B > 4 then R[4] = vA
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
No reference to R is stored in any register. Instead, R can be accessed by a
move-result-object instruction immediately following this filled-new-array
instruction.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Exceptions</h2>
<ul>
<li>
NegativeArraySizeException if vB < 0
</li>
<li>
All exceptions that are possible during class loading can occur.
</li>
<li>
All exceptions that are possible during instantiation can occur.
</li>
</ul>
