RFR(T): 8214857: "bad trailing membar" assert failure at memnode.cpp:3220

[Igor Ignatyev]

let me add more on this. although we call it Compile The World, we can't compile the whole world of java program given finite amount of time and resources. currently, the only ctw testing we are doing regularly is ctw-ing all the jdk modules. of course we can do it for other jar files, and we used to that, however benefit-cost ratio wasn't high enough, and due to this and other reasons it was decided to stop this kind testing. if someone  knows good candidates (where good means one which have greater chances to crash during ctw) for regular testing, we can work on adding them into regular testing.

Roland,

what jar did find 8214857? is it publicly available? are there other good candidates off top of your head?
