        In this example:

            static void test1(int[] a, boolean[] flags, boolean flag, long j) {
                for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                    if (flags[i]) {
                        if (flag) {
                            long address = (j << 2) + UNSAFE.ARRAY_INT_BASE_OFFSET;
                            int v = UNSAFE.getInt(a, address);
                            val = v;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        the load's control is set to the true branch of if (flag). if (flag) is loop invariant and can be moved out of the loop. Because Node::depends_only_on_test() returns true for loads, the load keeps the true branch of if(flag) as a control and can execute independently of the test if (flags[i]).
