The vector `"test"` api is implemented with vector `"compare"`. And the masked `"test" `is implemented with `"test(op).and(m)"` which means `"compare().and(m)"` finally. Since the masked vector `"compare"` has been optimized with predicated instruction for archituctures that support the feature, the masked `"test"` can also be optimized by implementing it with the predicated compare. This could save the additional ` "and"` for architectures that support the predicate feature.
This patch optimized the masked `"test"` by implementing it with masked `"compare"`. With this patch, the following codes for the` "IS_NEGATIVE"` op for a DoubleVector with SVE:
mov z19.d, #0
cmpgt p1.d, p7/z, z19.d, z17.d
and p0.b, p7/z, p1.b, p0.b
are optimized to:
mov z19.d, #0
cmpgt p0.d, p0/z, z19.d, z17.d
Also update the jtreg tests for masked` "test" ` to make sure they are hot enough to be compiled by c2.
