> # Issue Summary
>
> This PR addresses an `assert(bb->is_reachable())` that is triggered in the code for `-XX:+VerifyStack` after a deoptimization with reason `null_assert_or_unreached0` at a `getstatic` bytecode. Following the `getstatic` is an `areturn` and then an unreachable bytecode. When the code for `VerifyStack` tries to compute an oop map for the basic block of the unreachable bytecode, the assert triggers:

> areturn;
> // The following is unreachable
> iconst_0;

> This is a similar problem to [JDK-8271055](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8271055) (#7331), but this particular deopt with reason `null_assert_or_unreached0` at `getstatic` of a field containing an object reference [deopts at the next bytecode](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/ad07426fab3396caefd7c08d924e085c1f6f61ba/src/hotspot/share/opto/parse3.cpp#L176-L199). The aforementioned issue introduced a check to skip stack verification of the next bytecode in the code if the execution after the deopted bytecode does not continue at the next bytecode in the code, i.e. falls through to the next bytecode. Unfortunately, this check did not include `areturn` as a bytecode that does not fall-through:

> To fix the immediate issue described above, this PR adds `areturn` to the list of bytecodes that does not fall through. However, all return bytecodes exhibit the same behavior and might be susceptible to a similar issue. Even though I was not able to reproduce the same crash with `{d,f,i,l}return` because I could not get those or the preceding bytecode to deopt, I also added them to the `falls_through()` function. For the remaining bytecodes in `falls_through()` with the exception of `athrow` I wrote a regression test.
