Description
While testing G1 (with a solaris / sparc / 32-bit / server / fastdebug JVM) I came across this failure:

=============== DEBUG MESSAGE: checkcast_copy within a single array ================

SUGGESTED FIX Tom Rodriguez suggested the following fix: --- a/src/cpu/sparc/vm/stubGenerator_sparc.cpp +++ b/src/cpu/sparc/vm/stubGenerator_sparc.cpp @@ -1007,9 +1007,9 @@ __ brx(Assembler::lessEqualUnsigned, false, Assembler::pt, (*NOLp)); __ delayed()->cmp(to_from, byte_count); if (NOLp == NULL) - __ brx(Assembler::greaterEqual, false, Assembler::pt, no_overlap_target); + __ brx(Assembler::greaterEqualUnsigned, false, Assembler::pt, no_overlap_target); else - __ brx(Assembler::greaterEqual, false, Assembler::pt, (*NOLp)); + __ brx(Assembler::greaterEqualUnsigned, false, Assembler::pt, (*NOLp)); __ delayed()->nop(); }

EVALUATION From Vladimir Kozlov: I think it is because heap addresses crossed sign bit (0x5a000000 - 0xf6400000) so compare is failed: Heap garbage-first heap total 2358272K, used 1529973K [0x5a000000, 0xe9f00000, 0xf6400000) We need to fix array_overlap_test(). From Tom Rodriguez: Right, so it's a false positive. The greaterEquals should be greaterEqualsUnsigned.
