+   Now it runs most times... 
+   	(but the relationship of endBlock and catchBlock must be solved)
+   Important tasks:
+   	1. Implement switch
+   	2. locals need more thought
+   	3. Handle JSR
+   	4. Implement finally
+   	5. Handle MonitorEnter/Exit
+   	6. Implement synchronized()
+	7. field initialization
+   	8. Type output
+   	9. Differentiate local and member variables with same name.
