[aarch64-port-dev ] hg: aarch64-port/jdk8/hotspot: 2 new changesets

[Andrew Dinn]

Unfortunately, the eclipse problems I am seeing with the latest hg tree
are not reliably reproducible. However, I am frequently seeing an
unexpected ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException being thrown.

In particular, this happens fairly frequently in
BaseCalendar.getCalendarDateFromFixedDate() which is called under
JulianCalender.<clinit>(), in turn called under Calendar.getTime().

getCalendarDateFromFixedDate() performs a lot of arithmetic, both
integer and FP. It may be that the value of current time makes it
intermittent. Anyway, I'm currently checking the compiled code for sanity.
