Abstract
In the standard Java implementation, a Java language program is compiled to Java bytecode and this bytecode is then interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine. Since bytecode may be written by hand, or corrupted during network transmission, the Java Virtual Machine contains a bytecode verifier that performs a number of consistency checks before code is interpreted. As one-step towards a formal specification of the verifier, we describe a precise specification of a subset of the bytecode language dealing with object creation and initialization.
