Questions tagged [jvm-crash]

Crashes in the JVM, commonly caused by buggy native code in libraries.

This tag is about debugging s and other crashes in the Java Virtual Machine (). A JVM crash is identified by the message A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment followed by the error.

Such crashes are commonly caused by buggy native code (using ) in libraries, or sometimes missing ies. Crashes due to bugs in the JVM itself are also possible, though less likely.

When a JVM crash occurs, most of the time it will create a log file named hs_err_pidXXXX.log where XXXX is a number. It is important that you include the contents of it when you post a question regarding such a crash.

Do not use this tag for internal JVM exceptions, for example:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
