APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    A local variable or temporary on the stack holds an incorrect
    value, including possibly a reference to an object of unexpected
    type, during execution of a method body compiled for profiling.
    

Local fix

  • The problem can be avoided by using -Xjit:disableCompactLocals,
    at the cost of additional stack usage. If this option is
    restricted to the problematic method, the increase in stack
    usage should generally be small.
    

Problem summary

  • The JIT compiler performs an analysis in order to share stack
    space between local variables and temporaries with
    nonoverlapping lifetimes. When compiling for profiling, further
    optimization could be performed after this analysis,
    invalidating the result. In this case, variables with
    overlapping lifetimes could be assigned the same storage
    location.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler has been modified to ensure that conflicting
    variables are assigned distinct stack locations when compiling
    for profiling.
