FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.6.0_18 (x64)

FULL OS VERSION :
Windwos 7 (6.1) x64

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Eclipse 3.5 x64 / Eclipse 3.6 x64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Compiling a small test class with eclipse (eclipse 3.5 x64 or eclipse 3.6M5 x64) the generated class file will not run as expected on the jvm 1.6.0.18 x64 - but runs without error on 1.6.0_18 x32.

When the class is compiled directly with the jdk 1.6.0_18 x64 both runs are fine. Posted this in eclipse forum and they mentioned that this is possible a JIT error because the when you run it with

java -Djava.compiler=none X

everything is fine with the eclipse generated class file

Have a look to both forum entrys (sun/elipse) for more details:

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile thes test case class with eclipse (win7x64 3.5 x64/ 3.6 x64 - maybee also with the x32 win eclipse?!)

just run it with java (1.6.0_18 x64) and the two boolean will have a different state after the loops for Integer.MAX_VALUE but the same for Interger.MAX_VALUE - 1?

run it with java (1.6.0_18 x32 Version) and both loops will result in the same error.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Actual 1.6.0_18 result (x64)

ERROR: Boolean invert
    test1=true
    test2=false
Everything as it should be!

Expected

Everything as it should be!
