StackOverflowError causes JDK1.2G VM crash

Name: szC45993 Date: 08/15/97



JDK1.2G doesn't process StackOverflowError correctly.
It causes VM crash with "Segmentation Fault".
See JCK test tests/vm/concepts/exceptions/exceptions031/exceptions03101/exceptions03101.java

Note that JDK 1.1.3/1.1.4 pass the test successfully.

It seems like fixes for #4016967, #4031122 doesn't solve
stack overflow problem yet. Let's change exceptions03101 test case
using Jasm and increase stack size of "prc" method from 2 to 20000.

Most of JDK versions execute this test incorrectly:

1.1.1, 1.1.2G, 1.1.3F, 1.1.4 throw an InternalError instead StackOverflowError,
1.2G throws Segmentation Fault,
1.2H, 1.2I hangup.

Status of #4016967, #4031122 is "integrated" but
it's easy to change test example from #4016967 a little
and show that bug is still here:
...
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 200; j++) { // INCREASE FROM 20 TO 200
      System.out.println("Iteration " + j);
      awful(j);
    }
  }
...

Then we have:
1.1.1, 1.1.2G, 1.1.3F, 1.1.4 throw an InternalError
1.2G throws Segmentation Fault,
1.2H, 1.2I hangup.
