> If compute_map encounters malformed bytecode, or an OOM condition then it can raise a LinkageError to be thrown in regular JavaThreads, and this is reflected in the use of TRAPS in a couple of methods. But for non-JavaThreads, and compiler threads, the occurrence of such an error is treated as a fatal error and we abort the VM.

> In addition, most of the callers of compute_map actually use the CATCH macro, which just clears the exception and will abort a non-product VM.
>
> This use of TRAPS is a problem for the change to convert TRAPS to JavaThread, because these methods are called by non-JavaThreads. To address this we change compute_map to create, but not throw, the exception and return a bool indicating whether an error occurred, and the caller can then choose to throw the exception itself.
