APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: SIGSEGV/GPF during the compilation of a method.
    .
    Stack Trace: The top of the C++ stack should have the following
    function:
    TR_ValuePropagation::mergeDefContraints
    The rest of the stack is unwalkable.
    .
    

Local fix

  • To workaround this issue, the method that was being compiled at
    the time of the crash should be excluded from compilation.
    This can be done using the following command line option:
    -Xjit:exclude={*<method signature>*}
    

Problem summary

  • Part of the mergeDefContraint function incorrectly attempted to
    reference a NULL pointer that is part of one of the internal
    data structures used to perform this optimization.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    5.0.0 SR14
    6.0.1 SR4
    6.0.0 SR12
    7.0.0 SR3
    .
    The function has been altered so that the the NULL pointer can
    no longer be dereferneced.
    

Temporary fix
