+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Optimize <c>receive</c> statements that are only waiting
+ for messages containing a reference created before the
+ receive. All messages that existed in the queue when the
+ reference was created will be bypassed, as they cannot
+ possibly contain the reference. This optimization has
+ existed for vanilla BEAM since OTP R14.</p>

+ Own Id: OTP-14785 Aux Id: PR-1632 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add validation pass to hipe compiler to detect internal
+ errors causing primop calls that may trigger an unsafe GC
+ at run-time. The pass can be disabled with option
+ <c>no_verify_gcsafe</c>.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14900 Aux Id: PR-1685, PR-1621 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Make hipe compiled code work on x86_64 (amd64) with OS
+ security feature PIE, where executable code can be loaded
+ into a random location. Old behavior, if hipe was
+ enabled, was to disable PIE build options for the VM.</p>

+ Inline more type test BIFs; <c>is_number</c>,
