Is this still happening?  I can't find a package build with the latest openjdk8 on powerpc64 12.x log to check.

(In reply to Greg Lewis from comment #2)
Yes it still happens. Check e.g. latest build on http://pylon.nyi.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=head-powerpc64-default&build=p515672_s354110:

Interestingly, this seems to be an issue that pops up randomly. There are doc packages that built:

Comment 4 Greg Lewis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-11-06 19:36:38 UTC
Looking at

http://pylon.nyi.freebsd.org/data/head-powerpc64-default/p515672_s354110/logs/errors/en-freebsd-doc-53465,1.log

I see that the JVM no longer crashes.  It instead throws StackOverflowError.  In other words, the crash was a manifestation of bug 222146.  Now that has been fixed it looks like the underlying cause is an infinite recursion bug in textproc/fop.

I can see from glancing at TernaryTree.java that this is possible since insert() does recursively call itself.  I've done no in depth analysis to understand why it would only happen for certain languages or on certain architectures (although powerpc64 being big endian might be a factor).

Instead of an in depth debugging session, it might be worthwhile to try updating textproc/fop to 2.4 and seeing if that fixes it.  You could also potentially see if running with openjdk11 rather than openjdk8 made a difference.

At the moment this seems like the point of investigation is textproc/fop rather than java/openjdk8 though.
Comment 5 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-08-07 18:25:47 UTC
Piotr, is this still an issue? We seem to produce packages for powerpc64 now looking at Freshports.
