> Hi there, can I please get some feedback on this approach to simplify object allocation merges in order to promote Scalar Replacement of the objects involved in the merge?
>
> The basic idea for this [approach was discussed in this thread](https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2022-April/055189.html) and it consists of:
> 1) Identify Phi nodes that merge object allocations and replace them with a new IR node called ReducedAllocationMergeNode (RAM node).
> 2) Scalar Replace the incoming allocations to the RAM node.
> 3) Scalar Replace the RAM node itself.
>
> There are a few conditions for doing the replacement of the Phi by a RAM node though - Although I plan to work on removing them in subsequent PRs:
>
> - The only supported users of the original Phi are AddP->Load, SafePoints/Traps, DecodeN.
>
> These are the critical parts of the implementation and I'd appreciate it very much if you could tell me if what I implemented isn't violating any C2 IR constraints:
>
> - The way I identify/use the memory edges that will be used to find the last stored values to the merged object fields.
> - The way I check if there is an incoming Allocate node to the original Phi node.
> - The way I check if there is no store to the merged objects after they are merged.
>
> Testing:
> - Windows/Linux/MAC fastdebug/release
> - hotspot_all
> - tier1
> - Renaissance
> - dacapo
> - new IR-based tests
