All, I've been able to make the JVM segfault fairly reliably when using TieredCompilation. I reported this as bugid 7090802.
# Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0x1aa058][thread -1705837712 also had an error] GraphBuilder::GraphBuilder(Compilation*, IRScope*)+0x378 I haven't been able to have a bullet proof way to make this fail. However, starting Intellij so that it has to re-index the source code base seems to work reliably. It fails on a single CPU virtualbox instance, dual cpu, 8 cpu and 16cpu systems. It's failing on Ubuntu, Suse 11.2 and 11.4 systems. This isn't that big of a deal as I just turn off TieredCompilation. I'm taking the time to point this problem out though as I think TieredCompilation is great and want to see it be bullet proof. I have never had an issue using either the server or client compiler without TieredCompilation. I have also tried tweaking Tier2CompileTheshold up to 50000 and that didn't seem to make a difference either. With PrintCompilation enabled I can see that it's failing after about 14000 methods are compiled with the C1 compiler. So, my apologies for posting this here. How can I help resolve this issue? I tried jdk8 as well, but there are some other xrender related issues with jdk8 and intellij, so I don't know if the same issue exists there. -- Alan
