/**
 * LIR instructions such as JUMP and BRANCH need to reference their target {@link LIRBlock}. However,
 * direct references are not possible since the control flow graph (and therefore successors lists) can
 * be changed by optimizations - and fixing the instructions is error prone.
 * Therefore, we only reference of block B from block A only via the tuple (A, successor-index-of-B), i.e.,
 * indirectly by storing the index into the successor list of A.
 * Note that therefore it is not allowed to reorder the successor list!
 *
 * Labels of out-of-line stubs can be referenced directly, therefore it is also possible to construct a
 * LabelRef for a Label directly via {@link #forLabel}.
