The
J9::CFGSimplifier::simplifyIfPatternsmethod of CFG Simplification had been disabled by default due to bugs in the upstream implementation ofOMR::CFGSimplifier::simplifyIfPatternsas well as bugs exposed by those transformations. The problematic transformations in OMR have been temporarily disabled by OMR Pull Request 8005, allowing J9'ssimplifyIfPatternsto be enabled again by default.Also, the
simplifyUnresolvedRequireNonNullandsimplifyResolvedRequireNonNulltransformations of CFG Simplifier have never been fully tested. This change disables those transformations so that other transformations performed by CFG Simplifier that are known to be safe can be re-enabled. The intention is that the "Requires non-null" transformations will themselves be re-eenabled once they have been more thoroughly tested and any necessary bug fixes have been applied.
