APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
.
Stack Trace: N/A
.
A loop-based array copy which copies entries by traversing the
arrays backwards fails to correctly copy the first byte in the
source array to the destination array.

Local fix

  • The issue can be worked around using the
-Xjit:disableIdiomRecognition JVM option. Note however that this
may impact the overall performance of the program.

Problem summary

  • The problem is caused when the JIT compiler recognizes a
loop-based backward array copy and optimizes it into a fast
machine instruction sequence.

Problem conclusion

  • The JIT compiler has been updated to generate code that
correctly copies the first byte from the source array into the
destination array.

This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
