Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for looking at this.

> Second assembler output still have intermediate increments and also new movslq instructions. Why it should be better.

I thinks there is some confusion here. There are 2 problems I’d like to fix. One is when using checkIndex. In that case, the code should be as good as regular array accesses. The first assembly dump shows it’s not. The second problem is when not using checkIndex but we know the loop bounds, should be able to do better. That’s the second assembly dump. In my email I only showed assembly without my change. With my change:

first test case:

That’s the first CastIINode::Ideal transformation. If we apply that transformation we then have several CastII that only differ by their type so we need the second transformation of CastIINode::Ideal so all of them fold after loop opts.

>> Same as above the intermediate increment of the induction variable should fold into the address computation but ConvI2L(AddI(x, y)) -> AddL(ConvI2L(x), ConvI2L(y)) is not applied because the compiler loses track of the bounds of the induction variable. The i2l conversions should also fold into the address computations but they don’t for the same reason. The change in loopnode.cpp tries to work around the problem by capturing the bounds of the loop as soon the CountedLoop is created and before other transformations applied to the loop makes it much harder for the compiler to figure the bounds out. I also relaxed the Phi type computation in PhiNode::Value().
