APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: A crash is observed. . Stack Trace: This crash is not limited to a particular method. So stack trace may vary. . This issue could be observed on X86, Power, or Z. This is a fairly rare case.
Local fix
Normally using the -Xjit:exclude of the top crashing method(s) could stop the crash from happening.
Problem summary
JIT could mark the return type of a method to be void when it thinks the method will not return like in the case that the method always throws an exception. However, this becomes an issue, if the same method is recompiled a second time with a valid return type. VM will incorrectly use the void return type from the first compilation in the second compilation, causing a crash.
Problem conclusion
JIT has been fixed to have the correct return type. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR3 FP10 (8.0.3.10) 6 SR16 FP30 (6.0.16.30) 6 R1 SR8 FP30 (6.1.8.30) 7 R1 SR3 FP50 (7.1.3.50) .
