regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll

I am expierencing regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll at some random moments.

 

The VM crash logs start with the following text with some minor changes from crush to crush:

 

===

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x000000006dc87954, pid=11740, tid=11552
#
# JRE version: 6.0_18-b07

siginfo: ExceptionCode=0xc0000005, reading address 0x00000000000000d9

===

The address of the problematic frame changes slightely and the siginfo reading address changes but stays close to 0x0.

I have sent these crash logs to the supplied bug report address but it is pretty useless.

 

There were similar problems some years ago (http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/message/5004875#5004875, http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/message/5048349#5048349, http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-3444) that were related to the JNI calls.

 

Has anybody seen something similar with the 9.0 builds?

 

For the record, i am on Windows 7 x64 and using JDK 1.6.0_18 x64.

Haven't checked what the actual crash is caused by however on my W7 x64 workstation I am also having the latest EAP crashing relatively regularly... most disconcerting.

Re: regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll

Dmitry, i am now trying to run Idea with -XX:-ReduceInitialCardMarks. Either it will help and i will not reply to this post anymore or i will return with new crash log. Hope for the former.

Re: regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll

I was under the impression this was strictly a 32-bit issue. And heretofore, at least, only seen on Linux.

-XX:-ReduceInitialCardMarks certainly seems to have cured the problem I

was seeing on my 64-bit Linux box.  I've had no crashes at all in the

three weeks since I added it to my idea.vmoptions file.  They'd been

frustratingly common before that.

 

I meant to post a follow-up thanking you for suggesting it (it was you,

right?)...  So thank you

Re: regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll

I may have been the first to suggest it here (in the IDEA forums), but I myself was put onto the problem and its solution by a person who frequents #scala and who keeps a close eye on HotSpot internals.

Re: regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll

I just recently switched from Ubuntu Linux 09.10 64-bit to Windows 2008 R2 64-bit to run IntelliJ 9 since IntelliJ was crashing within 30-60 seconds on startup in Ubuntu.

Windows is working better, but it is crashing about once per hour with what looks like the same error mentioned in this thread.

I will will try the -XX:-ReduceInitialCardMarks and see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks -Alex

Re: regular EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONs in jvm.dll

I read the bug (http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6896647) and it has a linked bug (http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=2186975) for java 6 update 19 which says it was fixed in 6u19(b02). Since released 6u19 says build b04, it should be fixed.

 

But I checked java 6 update 19 release notes, and I don't see the bugfix mentioned there.

 

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u19.html

 

I will try java 6 update 19 first to see if that fixes the problem, and if that doesn't work I'll use the workaround.

 

Thanks,

-Alex
