About frame::retrieve_receiver()

[Peng Du]

ps. Sorry for cross-posting from hotspot-dev to here. I really couldn't
solve
the problem on my own and no one has responded on hotspot-dev for quite
a while. I need to solve it ASAP for my work to move on.

Please help! Thank you!

Hi,

I have been fighting with this problem for yet another day with no luck.
The error case happens when both the caller and callee are in compiled
Java frames. The backtrace tells me a SIGSEGV happens at this line:

====
in frame.cpp:1132:
oop r = *caller.oopmapreg_to_location(reg, reg_map)
====

as oopmapreg_to_location() returned a NULL which is dereferenced.

Can someone comment on the error? Thank you!
