Created attachment 271281 [details] Eclipse project to showcase the bug The AspectJ weaver enters an infinite loop which results in a StackOverflowError. I provided a detailed description of the steps to replicate the bug on the StackOverflow developer website ( here a shortened link to the post https://goo.gl/mcmk7E ) and I am attaching a toy example showcasing the bug as an Eclipse project. Below the information about my build environment (notice that I incurred in this bug first on a Linux machine with the OpenJDK): eclipse.buildId=4.7.1.M20171009-0410 java.version=1.8.0_60 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86_64, WS=cocoa, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product -keyring /Users/emanuele/.eclipse_keyring Command-line arguments: -os macosx -ws cocoa -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product -keyring /Users/emanuele/.eclipse_keyring Full link to the StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47030236/aspectj-compiler-bug-leads-to-stackoverfowerror?noredirect=1#comment81041099_47030236 And an extract of the error stack trace from the Eclipse log: java.lang.StackOverflowError at java.lang.String.indexOf(String.java:1503) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeFactory.createTypeFromSignature(TypeFactory.java:207) at org.aspectj.weaver.UnresolvedType.forSignature(UnresolvedType.java:397) at org.aspectj.weaver.UnresolvedType.getRawType(UnresolvedType.java:555) at org.aspectj.weaver.ResolvedType.getRawType(ResolvedType.java:2449) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:491) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:620) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:501) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.isASubtypeOf(TypeVariable.java:201) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.canBeBoundTo(TypeVariable.java:186) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:571) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:620) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.isASubtypeOf(TypeVariable.java:201) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.canBeBoundTo(TypeVariable.java:186) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:571) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:620) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.isASubtypeOf(TypeVariable.java:201) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.canBeBoundTo(TypeVariable.java:186) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:571) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:620) at org.aspectj.weaver.ReferenceType.isAssignableFrom(ReferenceType.java:459) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.isASubtypeOf(TypeVariable.java:201) at org.aspectj.weaver.TypeVariable.canBeBoundTo(TypeVariable.java:186) ...
How in Earth you guys manage to sleep without fixing this bug?
(In reply to Saha Bardo from comment #1) > How in Earth you guys manage to sleep without fixing this bug? I'm sure they're doing their best! While this bug is stopping my project using aspectJ, it's free software so let's be nice.
Note: I fixed my environment by upgrading to 1.9.5 of aspectjrt.

It was intended to tease the bug reporter (friend of mine) but then I forgot to edit or remove it.
