IZ97310: INCORRECT OUTPUT FROM A JAVA CHARACTER CONVERSION LOOP AFTER APPLYING APAR IZ85371

PM52687: SHIP SDK APAR IV06580 and defect 184227 as WSAS IFIX
PM53783: SHIP several SDK apars as WSAS iFix on top of 1.6 SR9 FP2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: Incorrect output reported from a Java application
  that converts UTF-16 to UTF8
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  

Local fix

• -Xjit:disableIdiomRecognition. Please note that the application
  may suffer performance degradation using this option.
  

Problem summary

• The JIT optimizer optimizes loops that convert from UTF-16 to
  UTF-8 on some platforms to a single instruction. The JIT needs
  to update values of variables used within the loop as well, and
  in some cases was not updating the final value of a variable
  after the optimization is performed.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.0 SR9 FP3
  6.0.1 GA FP1
  .
  The JIT optimizer has been fixed to update the values of all
  variables correctly after the optimization is applied on the
  loop.
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20110405 or later
  

Temporary fix
