I wanted to try IRHydra2 (http://mrale.ph/irhydra/2/) with the Octane 
benchmarks.  When I use the x64.debug version of d8 with the flags listed 
for IRHydra2 and run the Octane benchmarks I get a crash in the interpreter.

I tried to narrow down the problem, and it looks like 
--hydrogen_track_positions is the flag that gives the problem.  The stack 
trace that I get when d8 crashes is:

#
# Fatal error in ../src/assembler.cc, line 1551
# CHECK(pos >= 0) failed
#

==== C stack trace ===============================

 1: V8_Fatal
 2: v8::internal::PositionsRecorder::RecordPosition(int)
 3: v8::internal::LCodeGen::RecordAndWritePosition(int)
 4: v8::internal::LCodeGenBase::GenerateBody()
 5: v8::internal::LCodeGen::GenerateCode()
 6: v8::internal::LChunk::Codegen()
 7: v8::internal::OptimizedCompileJob::GenerateCode()
 8: 
v8::internal::Compiler::GetConcurrentlyOptimizedCode(v8::internal::OptimizedCompileJob*)
 9: v8::internal::OptimizingCompilerThread::InstallOptimizedFunctions()
10: ??
11: v8::internal::Runtime_TryInstallOptimizedCode(int, 
v8::internal::Object**, v8::internal::Isolate*)
12: ??

Looking in gdb I think the problem is that the check DCHECK(pos >= 0) 
in PositionsRecorder::RecordPosition(int) fails in debug mode because pos 
is -842150428.  Running in release mode the interpreter doesn't crash, 
probably since the check is not run, but I'm wondering if the output can be 
trusted to be correct.

I noticed an issue related to the --hydrogen_track_positions flag had been 
opened in Feb, 2014: https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3184

I also have experienced this problem when compiling either the master or 
the bleeding_edge branch (from the git repo).

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Linux 3.5 and gcc 4.7.3.  I've tried with both 
x64 and ia32 and seen the crash in both cases.  Any suggestions for 
debugging the problem are appreciated.  I'm wondering if it's something 
specific to my system, or a bug in V8.  And whether it really matters for 
using IRHydra2 or not.
