Hi,
This patch tries to reason about the alignment of the heap chunk an array belongs to by looking at its size. If the size of the array is smaller than a certain threshold then we can be sure that it is allocated in an aligned chunk and does not need to branch on it at runtime. This is especially helpful for static accesses since they are contained in an
Object[]
.Please take a look and leave your reviews, thanks a lot.
