Local fix

Problem summary

  • The crash is due to executing code that has been reclaimed.
    This can happen in rare instances when two recompilation
    requests for the same method come in parallel and
    Compiler.command API is used to disable JIT. In this case one
    recompilation can succeed and the other one can fail (after
    seeing that the JIT is disabled). The compilation failure leads
    to a restoration of a path through the old compiled body, but
    the body has been reclaimed due to other recompilation request
    which succeeded.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.1 SR1
    7.0.0 SR1
    .
    The solution involves failing compilations only when we are
    certain that another request for same method hasn't already
    been performed or queued
