RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alan Matsuoka 2011-03-03 14:49:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
Eclipse crashes with Sun JDK when using CDT

When eclipse is loaded with a CDT project, it crashes the JVM when rebuilding the index. It seems this issue is caused due to Compressed Ordinary Object Pointers (Compressed Oops) being turned on in the newer Java HotSpot versions (update 23 onwards). With the update of Sun JDK packages in el6 to update 24, we are now running into this problem. FC14 had similar issues and it seems an updated eclipse package fixed the issue.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647737

Can we get eclipse patched in el6 as well?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.24-1jpp.1.el6.x86_64 package is installed and is being used:

% rpm -qa | grep java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.24
java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.24-1jpp.1.el6.x86_64

% update-alternatives --display java | grep -i link
 link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun.x86_64/bin/java

% java -version 
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

2. Now run Eclipse (with CDT installed)
3. Create a C++ project
4. Add a main.cpp
5. add one line "#include <iostream>"
6. Save the file
7. If eclipse didn't crash right after saving, right click on the project and select Index->Rebuild Index



  
Actual results:

Eclipse crashes here with the following:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f578c31889b, pid=10684, tid=140012374947584

#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:

#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

Expected results:
Normal operation

Additional info:

This only happens with the Sun JDK.

Comment 3 Andrew Overholt 2011-03-03 16:09:15 UTC 
This looks like bug #647737.  Can you try adding -XX:-UseCompressedOops to /etc/eclipse.ini?

Reproduced for compressed oops issue
Comment 5 Pavel Tisnovsky 2011-03-03 16:22:15 UTC 
There's a reproduced for compressed oops issue stored in the attachment 482115 [details] (see comment #4). You can compile & run it to check if your JDK version has already compressed oops fix.
Comment 6 Andrew Overholt 2011-03-03 17:00:44 UTC 
Do I just compile and run that test case?  I tried javac Test7002666.java; java Test7002666 with:

java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)

and got no errors.
Comment 7 Pavel Tisnovsky 2011-03-10 10:10:16 UTC 
If the test does not fail it means you are using fixed IcedTea version.
Comment 8 Andrew Overholt 2011-03-11 20:27:26 UTC 
(In reply to comment #7)
> If the test does not fail it means you are using fixed IcedTea version.

Does the version in comment #6 indicate that I am using the Sun JDK or the IcedTea version?  I thought it indicated Sun but I may be wrong.
Comment 9 Andrew Overholt 2011-05-16 17:00:11 UTC 
I'm told this is fixed in newer versions of the Sun JDK so if we can get one of those into RHEL we'll be good to go and won't need to patch Eclipse to work around this JVM issue.

Re-assigning to the proper component.
