Hi,
what appears to happen is that the translated method is freed but it
is still inside the method context (i removed the xfree for the
method_entry and things started to change, sometimes even working)
I think the following could happen:
1.) The first time Delay class>>#runDelayProcess will set the
oop->flags F_XLAT_REACHABLE (or not??)
2.) ??? (something to the oop->flags or a replacement method is installed)
3.) The method will be discarded... (two GC runs or such)
4.) The code returns to a methodOop that has not been jitted yet. If
I can trust my printf debuggung I return to a runDelayProcess that has
not even be jitted..
So I think that the oop will be swept when it should not? Any idea on
how to continue to debug this? Tracing all flag assignments with hw
watchpoints is a bit... difficult.
any
