> 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.
