Transformations of Java Compiler

According to section 17.4 of JLS8 there are two Transformations of the Java Code performed by the Compiler:

  1. Statement Reordering
  2. Forward Substitution

Is there any other transformations which can be performed by the Java Compiler?

Yes, there is other transformations, according to the JLS :

[The memory model] provides a great deal of freedom for the implementor to perform a myriad of code transformations, including the reordering of actions and removal of unnecessary synchronization.

As long as the memory model is respected, compiler implementations are allowed to perform any transformations.
