RFR(XS): 8080699: Assert failed: Not a Java pointer in JCK test

Thanks for looking at this, Vladimir.

That doesn’t feel right: ArrayCopyNode::may_modify() would decide what to return based on src that it doesn’t modify.
Also, I don’t think src can become top and dest not be top during allocation elimination. If that happens at another time (igvn for instance), this part of the graph is being removed and presumably the compiler will get an other chance to optimize it better.

Roland.

It’s not entirely removed from the graph until the next igvn though, and it can be reached through its exception processing outputs. That’s what happens here and ArrayCopyNode::may_modify() assumes dest, that is top, is an oop.
