APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
.
Stack Trace: N/A
.
The JVM's memory usage grows without bound when using
-Xshareclasses

Local fix

  • Using -Xnoaot will prevent the memory leak from occurring.

Problem summary

  • Under the -Xshareclasses option, the JIT allocates a resource at
thread creation time that is never freed resulting in a slow but
unbounded memory leak.

Problem conclusion

  • The JIT has been fixed to free the allocated resource at the
appropriate time.
.
This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
   7 R1 SR3 FP30  (7.1.3.30)
