[Jikesrvm-researchers] assertion failure

[Sita T. <tan...@ho...>]

Hi,

  I'm trying to print the thread accessing the method areturn in 
VM_Compiler.java.
/home/sita/rvmRoot/rvm/src/vm/arch/intel/compilers/baseline/VM_Compiler.java

I inserted the following hook in the method emit_areturn like

VM_Thread t = VM_Thread.getCurrentThread();

When I try to build rvm, I get the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: vm internal error at:
at com.ibm.JikesRVM.VM._assertionFailure
at com.ibm.JikesRVM.VM._assert
at com.ibm.JikesRVM.VM_Thread.getCurrentThread(VM_Thread.java)
at com.ibm.JikesRVM.VM_Compiler.emit_areturn(VM_Compiler.java)


  Can anyone please explain me why I'm getting this error and how to correct 
this?

Thanks,
Sita.
