FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
openjdk version "1.8.0_b14-8u92"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_b14-8u92-root_2016_07_04_14_06-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.b14-b00, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Linux evgeni 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.81-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Eclipse seemed to randomly crash at different points. The crash logs pointed to the top of the stack being in PhaseIdealLoop::build_loop_late_post(Node*) and the error at 0x11e. Because this is not your build, I will paste disassembly of the area:

The build was made after checking-out the tag jdk8u92-b14 in each subrepo to be certain we used the stable version, because there was no OpenJDK package for a Debian that old.

As far as I've managed to trace it, beyond the printed stack, it happens at src/share/vm/opto/loopnode.cpp:3567
legal = idom(legal);

More specifically in the inline function in src/share/vm/opto/loopnode.hpp PhaseIdealLoop::idom_no_update(Node*) line 732
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/hotspot/file/15928d255046/src/share/vm/opto/loopnode.hpp#l732

C++ is not my greatest strength, but I do love assembly and especially reverse-engineering, so I'm fairly certain the crash happens after line 730 (the assignment of n) and before the check for the "while".

It's up to you to figure-out if this just needs a null-pointer check or the data is corrupt.


THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
We are uncertain what usage in Eclipse Neon causes it, but the project being worked on was a Maven project under Java and it is maintained under git. Those plugins would probably be or become active.
