    Description

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.8.0_45"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

      java version "1.8.0_60-ea"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-ea-b12)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b12, mixed mode)

      Same happens between JDK 7u75 and JDK 7u80:

      java version "1.7.0_75"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)

      java version "1.7.0_80"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b11, mixed mode)


      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      JDK8u45 (and JDK7u75) generate:
       
          8: aload_2
           9: ifnull 44
          12: iload_1
          13: lookupswitch { // 1
                         0: 32
                   default: 39
              }
          32: aconst_null
          33: astore_3
          34: aconst_null
          35: astore_2
          36: goto 41
          39: aconst_null
          40: astore_2
          41: goto 8

      while JDK8u60-ea-b12 (and JDK7u80):

           8: aload_2
           9: ifnull 44
          12: iload_1
          13: lookupswitch { // 1
                         0: 32
                   default: 39
              }
          32: aconst_null
          33: astore_3
          34: aconst_null
          35: astore_2
          36: goto 8
          39: aconst_null
          40: astore_2
          41: goto 8

      This is positive change for JaCoCo coverage engine, however might be an unexpected/overlooked side-effect of change in JDK:
      I bisected jdk8u-dev forest and first commit, which changes behavior is http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u-dev/langtools/rev/dca7f60e618d , so associated ticket is https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8064857 , which is for my understanding has nothing to do with gotos, but only about LVT.
      In case of jdk7 this seems to be related to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8065674 and so http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev/langtools/rev/979f55cda0e2

      Original issue, which was reported against JaCoCo, and analysis can be found at https://github.com/jacoco/jacoco/issues/307


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
