In the following example the code can be scalarized (last value store optimization: the value can be calculated on a regsiter and then stored to the array).

    static long[] ytest() {
        long[] a = {1};
        for (int i=0; i<10_000_000; i++) {
            a[0] += 3;
        }
        return a;
    }
