Tree Simplification recognizes an indirect load that gets a java/lang/Class from a j9Class, and then gets the j9Class from that java/lang/Class can be simplified to refer to the original j9Class pointer itself. However, that introduces an l2a operation which causes problems for Code Generation's l2aEvaluators, as they assume that l2a operations are only used for compressed references. Until the two different kinds of conversions of integers to addresses can be distinguished from one another, this transformation in Tree Simplification will be disabled.

Tree Simplification recognizes an indirect load that gets a
java/lang/Classfrom aj9Classpointer, and then gets thej9Classpointer from thatjava/lang/Class, can be simplified to refer to the originalj9Classpointer itself. However, that introduces anl2aoperation which causes problems for Code Generation'sl2aEvaluators, as they assume thatl2aoperations are only used for compressed references. Until the two different kinds of conversions of integers to addresses can be distinguished from one another — as described in eclipse-omr/omr#6508 — this transformation in Tree Simplification will be disabled.This delivers the contents of pull request #18743 to the 0.43.0-release branch.
