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.

This looks good to me other than changing asserts to fatals.

src/hotspot/share/ci/ciMethod.cpp line 307:

Since CATCH was only recently changed from fatal to assert, making these fatal() wouldn't be a change in behavior and that's what this should do.

src/hotspot/share/interpreter/oopMapCache.cpp line 115:

same here, and below, should be fatal.
