| 36 | // mechanism, which is: find next basic block, execute it, repeat until |
| 37 | // the next bb isn't found in the fast-cache; or if the current bb |
| 38 | // exited with a request for some special action before continuing; or |
| 39 | // if the current thread has used up its scheduling quantum. |

| 48 | The return value must indicate why it returned back to the scheduler. |
