Late cleanup of stack objects

[Ron Pressler]

Can you test with C2 engaged normally through warmup?

I have checked the following example with (no debugger)

--enable-preview
-XX:-TieredCompilation
-Xbatch
-Xcomp
-Xlog:nmethod+install

… to force C2, but the bigBuffer is still retained.

(Won’t C2 clear a stack ref only if it can be reused in the same scope for another java var?)

Thanks
