     15 
     16 <p>
     17 Move the contents of one object-bearing register to another.

     52 <h2>Constraints</h2>
     53 
     54 <ul>
     55   <li>
     56     Both A and B must be legal register indices in the current stack frame.
     57   </li>
     58   <li>
     59     Register vB must be defined.
     60   </li>
     61   <li>
     62     Register vB must contain a reference value (which excludes the case of it
     63     being part of a register pair).
     64   </li>
     65 </ul>
     66 
     67 <h2>Behavior</h2>
     68 
     69 <ul>
     70   <li>
     71     The value of register vB is moved to register vA, that is, vA' = vB.
     72   </li>
     73   <li>
     74     If register v(A-1) is the lower half of a register pair, register v(A-1)'
     75     becomes undefined.
     76   </li>
     77   <li>
     78     If register v(A+1) is the upper half of a register pair, register v(A+1)'
     79     becomes undefined.
     80   </li>
