Comments
Fix Request (11u) This resolves the C2 assertion that is a potential bug. Seen in 11u CTW tests. Patch applies cleanly to 11u, new test fails without the product patch, passes with it. Patched JDK passes tier1, tier2, tier3 tests.

I believe this explains similar failure in CTW for 11u-shenandoah (compiling groovy-eclipse-batch-2.4.3-01.jar). The new test fails on vanilla 11u without the patch as well.

Okay, great!

I have a test case and a fix.

[~mdoerr], why did you assign this to Roland? This code was recently modified by [~rkennke]'s patch for JDK-8213371. Do you have a reproducer for this? ILW = Crash during compilation, rare, disable compilation = HLM = P3
