> Hi,
> I've added `TestLiftSmallCorpus::testDoubleRoundtripStability` to test stability of the `BytecodeLift` and `BytecodeGenerator` roundtrip on JDK classes (aka "Small Corpus").
>
> The test takes ~40k methods from JDK classes and tries to lift them from bytecode, generate, lift again and generate again. Only about 4300 methods pass the roundtrip now, because `BytecodeLift` and `BytecodeGenerator` are still under construction.
>
> The test then compares "normalized" bytecode from the first round and the second round and fails with printed details if differ. The test actually contains a non-zero error threshold before failure. This threshold can be manually adjusted when working on `BytecodeLift` and `BytecodeGenerator` improvements.
> This approach allows to incrementally fix `BytecodeLift` and `BytecodeGenerator` roundtrip, as well as to extend their coverage.
>
> This patch also includes several fixes of bugs discovered during work on `TestLiftSmallCorpus`:
> - conditional branches are unwound to avoid growing number of blocks during the round trip
> - conditional branches are inverted to fix roundtrip stability
> - partial fix of block parameters construction
> - partial fix of the locals overrides
> - aggressive local variable slots overrides in `BytecodeGenerator` are temporary disabled until `BytecodeLift` is ready to support it
> - fixed redundant block argument assignements of unused variables in `BytecodeGenerator`
>
> Partial fix means it significantly reduced the error threshold (in order of magnitudes), however there are still some cases failing.
>
> I would like to integrate this patch, because it introduces a tool to allow subsequent incremental progress.
>
> Please review.
>
> Thank you,
> Adam
