Previously, we would blithely exceed the heap ceiling and force the
next allocation to deal with the problem, including a major GC and
possible OutOfMemoryError. As of this commit, we throw an error
immediately if we find that the allocation will push us over the
ceiling.
Scala sometimes generates bytecode such that the scope of an exception
handler starts at another exception handler, e.g.:
Exception table:
from to target type
290 372 382 any
382 451 451 any
290 372 451 any
Avian's compiler was incorrectly initializing the stack frame for the
second handler in this case. This commit fixes the problem.
We need to extract the OpenJDK classes into the build classpath
directory for the target platform before running the
bootimage-generator, or else it won't be able to find the classes.
The instruction for 32-bit-to-64-bit sign extension on x86_32 requires
that the input value be placed in EAX and the sign extension in EDX.
However, the compiler can get confused if the input value is in memory
addressed via one of those registers and doesn't know how to move it.
This patch works around that limitation by doing the move explicitly
in MemoryEvent::compile if necessary.
Method.invoke must throw an IllegalArgumentException if it receives
the wrong number or types of arguments, and since this isn't done by
the OpenJDK class library, we must do it in the VM.
This library is placed in the xawt subdirectory of jre/lib/$arch on
POSIX systems, so it isn't found automatically when third-party
libraries which depend on it are loaded. The simplest way to ensure
that it's found seems to be to just load it when the VM starts up.
In order to calculate the initial stack map of GC roots for an
exception handler, we do a logical "and" of maps across all the
instructions contained in the try block for that handler. This is
complicated by the presence of jsr/ret instructions, though, because
instructions in a subroutine may have multiple maps associated with
them corresponding to all the paths from which execution might flow to
them.
The bug in this case was that we were using an uninitialized map in
our calculation, resulting in a map with no GC roots at all. By the
time the map was initialized, the damage had already been done. The
solution is to treat an uninitialized map as if it has roots at all
positions so that it has no effect on the calculation until it has
been initialized with real data.
