APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: The garbage collector is not collecting objects
    that are expected to be collected
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • add the Java option -Xjit:disableKnownObjectTable when running
    the SDK
    

Problem summary

  • Incompatible APIs are used when pushing and popping objects on
    the naive stack of the JIT compilation thread resulting in
    objects being left on the stack unexpectedly.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code changes have been made to call the same APIs in the JIT
    compiler to avoid unexpected stack states.
