APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: The JIT compiler crashes during escape analysis.
    .
    Stack Trace:
    .
    

Local fix

  • The problem can be avoided using the option
    -Xjit:disableEscapeAnalysis. Note this might have a slight
    impact on performance, but in most cases it will be less than
    1%.
    

Problem summary

  • Escape analysis, an optimization that determines whether an
    object may escape
          a given scope, could under certain circumstances treat an
    operation involving
          a statically unknown class as though the class were
    statically known.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JIT compiler has been modified so that escape analysis will
    correctly
          determine in these cases that the class is unknown.
