> It seems that when merging allocations of different subtypes I'll need to add a special `Phi` node merging the `Klass` of the input allocations and assign the output of that `Phi` to `SafepointScalarReplacedNode`. If I don't do that, the method above will return Animal.class instead of `Dog.class` or `Cat.class`. I'm wondering if I'll actually have to do the same for the Header/Mark word of the input allocations.

@JohnTortugo Yes, you would need to construct Phi when you replace RAM with `SafePointScalarObjectNode`. Hmm, may be you would need to construct Phi in other cases too (getClass intrinsic).

Add cases when class is loaded from argument for allocation: `Unsafe.allocateInstance()` and `Object.clone()` to test class Load instead of simple constant on some paths of such Phi.

Why you need Phi for mark word? For identity check (hashCode/identityHashCode intrinsics)?
