Yes, if the re-allocation of the scalar replaced object fails during deoptimization, we cannot
re-construct the object. But that's okay because the interpreter will throw an OutOfMemoryError and
not use that object anyway (please note that C2 will only perform scalarization if escape analysis
determined that it's safe to do so and the object is not leaked).

This is actually what the TestDeoptOOM verifies.

Best regards,
