gcj-jit failure

Thu Sep 16 00:54:00 GMT 2004

Today I tried the experiment of starting eclipse using gcj-jit and
no precompilation. After valiantly compiling 319 classes, I get a
crash in the GC:
#3 0x00d7b5bc in GC_abort (msg=0xf11f17 "Too many root sets\n")
 at ../../../gcc/boehm-gc/misc.c:1048
#4 0x00d79bd3 in GC_add_roots_inner (b=0x1220150 "Ã¿Ã¿Ã¿Ã¿", 
 e=0x1220d50 ".EventStats.buildException(java.lang.Exception)", tmp=1)
 at ../../../gcc/boehm-gc/mark_rts.c:242
I'm not going to look into this any further at the moment. There are
more important bugs to fix; still, this is interesting.
