> Hi all,
> 
> Before the phase `desugar`, the demo `(C1 & I1) o` has **one** type-cast sub-tree, `JCTypeIntersection C1&I1`, at the syntax tree. After the phase `desugar`, the `(C1 & I1) o` becomes **three** type-cast sub-trees: `JCTypeIntersection C1&I1`, `I1`, `C1`. So at phase `Gen`, `javac` generates **three** `checkcast` according to the **three** type-cast sub-trees which causes this bug.
> 
> This patch doesn't generate `checkcast` when the type is `JCTypeIntersection` so that the problem can be solved. And a corresponding test case is added.
> 
> Another way to solve this issue is that the `TransTypes` of  the `desugar` should be modified and **two** type-cast sub-trees should be generated instead of **three**. But this way may change more code than my original patch and may cause other regression.
> 
> Thank you for taking the time to review.
