VM with JIT crashes executing recursive method invocation

Name: kaC94536 Date: 11/10/99



The following test crushes Linux VM:

----------------------------- test.java ------------------------

public class test {

  static void Runner() {
    Runner();
  }

  public static void main(String arg[]) {
try{
Runner();
} catch (Throwable e) {
     System.out.println("Ok " + e);
}
  }
}

-------------------------------- output --------------------------

$ /public/jdk/jdk1.2.2/linux/bin/java -fullversion
java full version "1.2.2-RC1"
$ /public/jdk/jdk1.2.2/linux/bin/java -Djava.compiler=javacomp test
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Being run without JIT VM does everithing well:

-------------------------------- output --------------------------

$ /public/jdk/jdk1.2.2/linux/bin/java test
Warning: JIT compiler "sunwjit" not found. Will use interpreter.
Ok java.lang.StackOverflowError
