IV78207: JAVA SEGMENTATION ERROR IN ESCAPE ANALYSIS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: The JIT compiler crashes during escape analysis.
  .
  Stack Trace:
  .
  

Local fix

• The problem can be avoided using the option
  -Xjit:disableEscapeAnalysis. Note this might have a slight
  impact on performance, but in most cases it will be less than
  1%.
  

Problem summary

• Escape analysis, an optimization that determines whether an
  object may escape
   a given scope, could under certain circumstances treat an
  operation involving
   a statically unknown class as though the class were
  statically known.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JIT compiler has been modified so that escape analysis will
  correctly
   determine in these cases that the class is unknown.

  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
   8 SR2 (8.0.2.0)
