APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • The problem may be worked around by disabling Escape Analysis
    using the -Xjit:disableEscapeAnalysis option. Using this option
    will likely cause a small degradation in performance.
    

Problem summary

  • Certain finalizable objects allocated in Java methods that are
    compiled by the JIT may fail to have their finalizers called
    when they otherwise should.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JIT has been fixed to insure that finalizable objects
    allocated in JIT compiled methods will have their finalizers
    called in a manner similar to objects allocated in other
    contexts.
