A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
There is a problem with line number debug information with class files compiled with 1.8.0-ea-b97. The compiler misses to include certain lines in some source file. I provided a simple reproducer below.

Background information: I'm the author of the JaCoCo code coverage tool. Currently I'm working on a Java 8 version of JaCoCo. This tool relies on line number debug information within class files to provide code coverage highlighting. We have a regression test suite which uncovered the defect reported here.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u25

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the source file provided with the latest JDK8 build (1.8.0-ea-b97).

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The compiled class files has a LineNumberTable entry for the method invocation b() in line 10.
ACTUAL -
There is no separate LineNumberTable entry for the invocation of b(). So b() appears to be invoked in line 8 instead of 10. See javap output below:

  static void m(boolean);
    descriptor: (Z)V
    flags: ACC_STATIC
    Code:
      stack=1, locals=1, args_size=1
         0: iload_0
         1: ifeq 10
         4: invokestatic #2 // Method a:()V
         7: goto 13
        10: invokestatic #3 // Method b:()V
        13: return
      LineNumberTable:
        line 7: 0
        line 8: 4
        line 12: 13
      StackMapTable: number_of_entries = 2
           frame_type = 10 /* same */
           frame_type = 2 /* same */


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
