Description Peter CLA 2018-12-01 04:13:56 EST
On a very large method I became this message:

    The code of method xx(xx) is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit

For unexperienced developers it is not clear what "code" is meant.

Possibility 1: Its meant the sourcecode
Possibility 2: Its meant the bytecode

Both are "code" but the message does not point out what code is meant.

PROPOSAL

Change the message to 

    The bytecode of method xx(xx) is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit

Explanation: Bytecode points out that the bytecode is exceeding 65535 codebytes.
