> Note: @oliviermattmann found this bug with his whitebox fuzzer. See also https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/27991
>
> **Analysis**
> We run Escape Analysis, and see that a local array allocation could possibly be removed, we only have matching `StoreI` to the `int[]`. But there is one `StoreI` that is still in a loop, and so we wait with the actual allocation removal until later, hoping it may go away, or drop out of the loop.
> During loop opts, the `StoreI` drops out of the loop, now there should be nothing in the way of allocation removal.
> But now we run `MergeStores`, and merge two of the `StoreI` into a mismatched `StoreL`.
>
> Then, we eventually remove the allocation, but don't check again if any new mismatched store has appeared.
> Instead of a `ConI`, we receive a `ConL`, for the first of the two merged `StoreI`. The second merged `StoreI` instead captures the state before the `StoreL`, and that is wrong.
>
> **Solution**
> We should have some assert, that checks that the captured `field_val` corresponds to the expected `field_type`.
>
> But the real fix was suggested by @merykitty : apparently he just had a similar issue in Valhalla:

> (the idea is to bail out of the elimination if any of the found stores are mismatched.)

> **Details**

> How the bad sequence develops, and which components are involved.

> 1) The `SafePoint` contains a `ConL` and 3 `ConI`. (Correct would have been 4 `ConI`)

> 2) This is then encoded into an `ObjectValue`. A `Type::Long` / `ConL` is converted into a `[int=0, long=ConL]` pair, see:
