Java 7 Ships With Severe Bug

[sl4shd0t]

Lisandro writes "Lucid Imagination just posted an announcement about a severe bug in the recently released Java 7. Apparently some loops are mis-compiled due to errors in the HotSpot compiler optimizations, which causes programs to fail. This bug affects several Apache projects directly — Apache Lucene Core and Apache Solr have already raised an warning, noting that the bug might be present in Java 6 as well."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F11%2F07%2F29%2F1639233%2FJava-7-Ships-With-Severe-Bug%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceboo k) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Java+7+Ships+With+Severe+Bug%3A+http%3 A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FnKGhNz)
