Try the test case "abstract.fail.abstract2" from the mauve "verify" module. (You will need jasmin to build this.)
This test case gets a SEGV in the unwinder: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. uw_frame_state_for (context=0xbfff9998, fs=0xbfff98d8) at linux-unwind.h:125 125 in linux-unwind.h Continuing results in the same SEGV endlessly. The underlying cause of this is that a _Jv_Method has 0x0 as its 'ncode'. Instead it would be more correct to put 'throw new AbstractMethodError' there. I have a partial patch to do this (the compiler should also do this...). However I think the unwinder crashing is a bug regardless of whether this other problem is fixed. -- Summary: hang when invoking abstract method Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libgcj AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,java-prs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21906
