<h2>Constraints</h2>

<ul>
  <li>
    The return type of the current method must be void.
  </li>
</ul>

<h2>Behavior</h2>

<ul>
  <li>
    If the method is synchronized, the object's monitor is released in a way
    similar to the monitor-exit instruction.
  </li>
  <li>
    The stack frame of the current method invocation is removed from the stack.
    This includes all its registers becoming invalid.
  </li>
  <li>
    If the stack is now empty, the current thread terminates.
  </li>
  <li>
    Otherwise, the following happens:
    <ul>
      <li>
        The stack frame that caused this method invocation becomes valid. This
        includes all its registers and their old values.
      </li>
      <li>
        Execution continues at the bytecode instruction immediately following
        the invoke-kind or invoke-kind/range instruction that caused this method
        invocation.
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
