@DamonFool , no `RShiftB` nodes are generated with `-XX:UseAVX=0 -XX:UseSSE=2` on x86. The test passed because when adding VM options `-XX:UseAVX=0 -XX:UseSSE=2` externally, the IR framework won't do the IR check and just run the java code, I verified and made the guess. But I'm not clear whether all external VM options would stop the IR framework to do the IR check.
