JDK-7174532 - jdk/test/java/lang/Math/WorstCaseTests.java failing on x86
Description
On x64, 7133857 broke pow(x,y) when x<0 and y is an odd integer. This affects debug builds only. int(y) is moved to an register to be tested for parity but between the load of int(y) and the test for parity some debugging code changes the content of the integer register.
This should affect only the interpreter and c1.
Comments
The issue is not present in 7u40b31-fastdebug, but it can't be reproduced as it was backported in the first hs24-based build of JDK 7 and was fixed in JDK 8 in the same build where it was introduced. Closed as not verified (setup not available).
