--------------------------------------------

is this still relevant to current codebase?

> Write barriers in jitrino.jet for C/C++ based GCs
> The patch only presumes HARMONY-504 applied. 
> Note: HARMONY-816 (WBs for Java) is *not* required (and even may conflict).
> Once the patch applied, Jitrino.JET will be always generating write barriers code.
> To turn WBs generation off provide '-Xjit jet::nowb' in command line when starting VM.
> Write barriers are generated for writing an object ref into field (PUTFIELD) and writing an object into array (AASTORE) insturctions. 
> Writing into a static field (PUTSTATIC) will *not* invoke WB.
> The code expects neither exception nor GC from inside the WB function.
