> [JDK-8305636](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305636) wrongly refactored the code that groups predicates into Predicate Blocks which leads to a wrong execution when hitting a trap.
>
> **Background**
>
> In general, when a loop X is folded and its Parse Predicates end up above loop Y, we can reuse the Parse Predicates from loop X to create Runtime Predicates with for loop Y. If such a Runtime Predicate of loop Y is false during runtime, we trap and jump back to the start of the folded loop X above. This is fine because we have not executed any side effects of loop X or between loop X and Y:
>
> - **(i)** There are no other CFG nodes with possible side effects between loop X and Y. Otherwise, the Parse Predicates of loop X are not directly above loop Y and are removed by `eliminate_useless_parse_predicates()`.
> - **(ii)** There can be no stores pinned at Parse Predicates (they are not hoisted out of a loop with range checks and invariant checks) except at the last one. This happens, for example, if loop X is fully unrolled and folded away in IGVN. A store is then no longer pinned at the folded `CountedLoopNode` but at the last Parse Predicate of loop X. If there are no other CFG nodes between loop X and Y, then the Parser Predicates from loop X end up just above loop Y. All Runtime Predicates created for loop Y with Parse Predicates from loop X will be executed before the pinned store at the last Parse Predicate (i.e. the loop entry).
>
> **Problem**
>
> In the test case, we have loop A that is fully unrolled and folded. Its Parse Predicates end up above loop B after IGVN. The only difference to the situation with loop X and Y in **(ii)** is that loop B still has a Loop Limit Check Parse Predicate:
> 
>
> - `40 Parse Predicate` and `51 Parse Predicate` are from loop A with the pinned `80 StoreL` from within the loop body of A (i.e. `lFld`).
> - `107 Parse Predicate` is from loop B.
>
> When eliminating useless Parse Predicates, we should remove the Parse Predicates of loop A, because **(i)** is violated: We have a CFG node (e.g. `107 Parse Predicate`). between the loop B and the Parse Predicates of loop A. This, however, does not happen due to a bug: We wrongly group the back to back Loop Limit Check Parse Predicates `107 Parse Predicate` and `51 Parse Predicate` together as single Predicate Block. As a result, we keep `51 Parse Predicate` and `40 Parse Predicate`.
