ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in clojure.asm.Frame

Question

Hey all :)

Have hit what I think is a compiler bug this morning, wondering whether it's one I should submit to JIRA?

Here's what I believe to be a minimal repro:

(defprotocol P
  (^double p1 [p a])
  (^double p2 [p a]))

(let [p (reify P)]
  (min 0.0
       (case :p1
         :p1 (p1 p :foo)
         :p2 (p2 p :foo))))

Error:

1. Caused by java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
   Index -1 out of bounds for length 0

                Frame.java: 1262  clojure.asm.Frame/merge
                Frame.java: 1238  clojure.asm.Frame/merge
         MethodWriter.java: 1604  clojure.asm.MethodWriter/computeAllFrames
         MethodWriter.java: 1540  clojure.asm.MethodWriter/visitMaxs

... (have a fuller trace I can send, or the above code snippet should work at a REPL)

Any of the following make this error go away

• removing the type hinting
• adding a nil default to the case
• making the protocol functions normal type-hinted defns
• raising the case out of the min (removing the min)

I've managed to refactor the original code to work around the issue, but please do let me know if I should raise a JIRA ticket.

Cheers,

James
