RFR(S): 8080976: Unexpected AIOOB thrown from 1.9.0-ea-b64 on (regression)

[Roland Westrelin]

Michael,

> Roland I would add a condition so that we save a step, and a comment or two:

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll go with your version.

> I checked the resultant code for the bug, as is the case for the change in the webrev, the reduction is no longer emitted.  I also checked the relevant micros and verified the desired behavior is still present.

Thanks for taking the time to verify the fix is correct.

Roland.
