George Timoshenko updated HARMONY-5743:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: autocompress_proto_21_Jan.patch

I partially complete the task.

here is my result.

Unfortunately I was too ambitious and made some refactoring (mostly in IRBuilder) together with the implementation of the improvement.

This patch needs to be splitted into 2 parts:
    - refactoring
    - new feature itself based on the refactoring results

The bad thing: it may happen I will have no ability to complete this work.
Feel free to have fun with it.

> In compressed mode OPT always uncompress a ref just after it is loaded from memory (from field).
> So each reference is uncompressed in the managed code.
> It is a convention in HLO. There are not dedicated instructions for compression/uncompression.
> IRBuilder generates LdField and its dst operand has type - UncompressedRef.
> It probably has sense not to uncompress ref if it is loaded just for NULL comparison or storing to another field.
> To do this we need to generate Compress/Uncompress instructions explicitly during byte code translation.
