When compiling switch statements with at least 3 cases, where one of the cases
is equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE, javac runs out of memory. This doesn't happen if
there are only two cases, and it doesn't happen if the largest one is less than
Integer.MAX_VALUE, even by 1. It also doesn't appear to happen if the two
smaller cases are "relatively small". For instance, the problem occurs if the
cases are <0x7ffffffd,0x7ffffffe,0x7fffffff>, but not, for instance, if they are
<0,1,0x7fffffff>. It also does NOT occur if the cases are
<0x7ffffffc,0x7ffffffd,0x7ffffffe>.

The exact error message I get is:


The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
        <<no stack trace available>>


Source code to reproduce it follows:
===================================
public class foo {
  static void main(String args[]) {
    int i=0;

    switch(i) {
      case CONSTANT1:
        System.out.println("foo1");
        break;

      case CONSTANT2:
        System.out.println("foo1");
        break;

      case CONSTANT3:
        System.out.println("foo3");
        break;
      }
  }

  static final int CONSTANT1 = 0x7fffffff;
  static final int CONSTANT2 = 0x7ffffffe;
  static final int CONSTANT3 = 0x7ffffffd;
}
