FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_60-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-ea-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b21, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Darwin 14.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.3.0: Mon Mar 23 11:59:05 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2782.20.48~5/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a catch block catches multiple exceptions that implement the same interface and a (redundant) cast to the type of that interface is done within that block, the compiler crashes with the following trace:

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Minimal example to reproduce the problem. 
(Note the similarity with https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8071291)

interface A { }
class Exception1 extends Exception implements A { }
class Exception2 extends Exception implements A { }

class Test {
    void test(boolean cond) {
        try { 
            if (cond) {
                throw new Exception1();
            } else {
                throw new Exception2();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception1|Exception2 x) {
            A a = (A) x;
        }
    }
}

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expected the code to be compiled without errors.
ACTUAL -
The compiler crashes and no .class is generated.

1. Run the attached test case (Test.java) in Windows 7 (64-bit). 2. Checked this with JDK, 7u80: OK 8: FAIL 8u45: FAIL 8u60 ea b21: FAIL 9 ea b70: OK 3. Output with JDK 8u45: > javac Test.java An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_45).

The code compiles fine with JDK 7u80 and 9 ea b70. This is likely a duplicate of JDK-8071291 with a fix in JDK 9 ea b53. Sent an email to the original submitter to confirm the same.

Haven't received confirmation from the submitter. Therefore, closing this bug as duplicate of JDK-8071291 which has a fix for JDK 9.
