+   @brief Method called at the end of a successful or unsucessful compilation attempt
+
+   This is a static method that has many side-effects.
+   Its main purpose if to overwrite the j9method->extra with the startPC of the
+   native compiled body (if compilation is successful) or with special code for
+   unsuccessful compilations. It also releases any reserved data caches.
+
+   @param vmThread   The VM thread that is currently running the compilatuionEnd() method
+   @param details    The IlGeneratorMethodDetails of the method subject to compilation
+   @param jitConfig  Pointer to J9JITConfig
+   @param startPC    The start of the code for the newly compiled body (if compilation is successful)
+   @param oldStartPC The current entry point for the method being compiled (0 for interpreted methods)
+   @param preventFutureMethodCountingOnFailure Boolean indicating whether a VM helper should be called on
+                     compilation failure to prevent future invocation counting of the method (default is true)
+   @param fe         The frontend used to compile the method (default NULL)
+   @param entry      The compilation request entry for the method being compiled (default NULL)
+   @param comp       The compilation object that was created for the method being compiled (default NULL)
