JEP 248: Make G1 the Default Garbage Collector (original) (raw)

Hi folks,

I'm the guy who tried to get to the bottom of the G1GC byteslice assert issue. It's not a false assert, it's a true miscompilation that somehow misses variable update. I know because I live-debugged it on assembly level... I also tried to help Vladimir Kozlov to pinpoint the issue but without much success. The buggy scenario is really fragile, not always reproducible and the compiled method is huge. Life.

I haven't tried with any recent Java release. I will try to, time permitting -- it's my idée fixe to find out what's happening.
