The info union stores the "location" of the data this field
represents.  There are three posibilities.  First, the class object
hasn't been completely resolved, so 'info.idx' points to the constant
pool index describing the field.  After resolution, the field may be a
static field or an instance field.  For the static field 'info.addr'
is the address of the field value.  For instance fields 'info.boffset'
is the byte-offset in an object of the field.  (E.g., if info.boffset
is 8, then the field is stored eight bytes from the beginning of the
object.)
