IV73847: INTEGER OBJECT HAS THE WRONG VALUE INSIDE A LOOP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: N/A
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  The escape analysis optimization incorrectly does not detect
  that an old value held by an Integer object can escape into
  another iteration of a loop under specific conditions.
  

Local fix

• This issue can be worked around by disabling the optimization on
  the specific method using the following option,
  -Xjit:{full/path/of/package/Class.method*}(disableEscapeAnalysis
  )
  Note that this can affect performance.
  

Problem summary

• The problem is caused when the escape analysis optimization does
  not detect that an Integer object can escape a specific loop
  iteration.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JIT compiler has been modified so that the Integer object
  has the correct value in these circumstances.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     7 R1 SR3 FP20  (7.1.3.20)
     8    SR2       (8.0.2.0)
