Description
Investigation EA failure in CTW I found
the the next function is incorrect for bytecode
with exceptions. It incorrectly splits an exception
handler block.


  // ciMethodBlocks::split_block_at
  //
  // Split the block spanning bci into two separate ranges.  The former
  // block becomes the second half and a new range is created for the
  // first half.  Returns the range beginning at bci.
  ciBlock *ciMethodBlocks::split_block_at(int bci) {
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX Move an exception information from old block to new block and cleaning it in old handler block.

EVALUATION When handler block is split new block has exception handler BCI but does have exception information (start & end exception BCIs). The old block has exception information but it starts in an other BCI.
