# Analysis
(Line numbers refer to attachment yield_after_deopt_failure.log)

The recursive freeze of stack frames does not stop at the bottom frame (line 79) and then fails when trying to freeze the frame of the continuation enter intrinsic `Continuation.enterSpecial` (line 1) with `freeze_pinned_native`. This causes the test failure because freeze/yield should succeed.

The recursion is supposed to stop when the expression `FKind::frame_bottom(f) >= _bottom_address - 1` is true

but there is dead space between `FreezeBase::_bottom_address` (line 23) and `ContinuationHelper::InterpretedFrame::frame_bottom` (line 35)

The dead space is left over from deoptimization of `Fuzz.com_mny(IIDJFLjava/lang/Object;IDJFLjava/lang/Object;IDJFLjava/lang/Object;IDJFLjava/lang/Object;)I`. It used to accomodate the stack args for the compiled frame.
