[JDK-8278114](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8278114) added the following transformation for integer and long left shifts:
"(x + x) << c0" into "x << (c0 + 1)"
However, in the long shift case, this transformation is not correct if `c0` is 63:
(x + x) << 63 = 2x << 63
while
(x + x) << 63 --transform--> x << 64 = x << 0 = x
which is not the same. For example, if `x = 1`:
2x << 63 = 2 << 63 = 0 != 1
This optimization does not account for the fact that `x << 64` is the same as `x << 0 = x`. According to the [Java spec, chapter 15.19](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se18/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.19), we only consider the six lowest-order bits of the right-hand operand (i.e. `"right-hand operand" & 0b111111`). Therefore, `x << 64` is the same as `x << 0` (`64 = 0b10000000 & 0b0111111 = 0`).
Integer shifts are not affected because we do not apply this transformation if `c0 >= 16`:

The fix I propose is to not apply this optimization for long left shifts if `c0 == 63`. I've added an additional sanity assertion for integer left shifts just in case this optimization is moved at some point and ending up outside the check for `con < 16`.
Thanks,
Christian
