A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The application is stuck.
- JVM is not responding to jstack, jvisualvm, mission control, etc...
- 1 CPU is stuck @ 100%

By running gdb on the jvm, we got stuck at :

(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007f14d6d083af in ClassVerifier::ends_in_athrow(unsigned int) () from /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so
#1 0x00007f14d6d0b56e in ClassVerifier::verify_invoke_init(RawBytecodeStream*, unsigned short, VerificationType, StackMapFrame*, unsigned.

I believe the infinite while loop causes the issue.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Yes

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

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u71

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :

Note that I believe it's a class generated by scalac.
