expandMemAddr is true by default.
I am not sure if it wrorks correctly in the 'false' case.
This flag is obsolet actually.
It should be removed.

Hi all
I found this flag is frequently used when generating 'Store' related
instruction.
if it is set, makeMultiSrcInst is used, otherwise makeFieldAccessInst is
used, is that right? and Why is that?
after "Lazy Resolution" feature has been implemented, you can safely
assume expandMemAddrs is always true, otherwise it just does not
work.
true makes indirect loads by addresses
false makes special instructions like ldfield
I dunno why there were two ways to do the same thing for ages. Maybe
true value helped memopt (so you do not have to teach it with ldfield
stuff), not sure.
