Previously, the handle's location was used as a proxy for the heap object, i.e, we put the handle into the constant pool, to avoid the need for GC visiting the constant pool entries during code generation. The handle locations are replaced by the corresponding heap object when the code is copied to the heap. This CL changes the handling in the assembler: Instead of putting in the handle location (which is a machine word) we put in a small index number into a table. This will be useful for putting 32bit constants into the constant pool. This new approach also has the advantage that ordering the constant pool entries by value produces a deterministic order after this change.
