The reason for that is that if we hoist a real range check and create a Hoisted Predicate for it, we only need to check the lower and upper bound of all array accesses (i.e. the array access of the first and the last loop iteration). All array accesses in between are implicitly covered and do not need to be checked again.

We do not have any guarantee that if the first and last loop iteration check succeed that the other loop iteration checks will also succeed. An example of this is shown in the test case `test()`. We wrongly create a Hoisted Range Check Predicate where the lower and upper bound are always true, but for some values of the loop induction variable, the hoisted check would actually fail. We then crash because an added Assertion Predicate exactly performs this failing check (crash with halt). Without any loop splitting (i.e. no Assertion Predicates), we have a wrong execution due to never executing the branch where we increment `iFld2` because we removed it together with the check.

May I know if the fix applied to jdk11 as well? 

We got the same issue with jdk11.0.19.
