I want to look into the jitdump.20160505.165247.149.0004.dmp file.
Which is generated by IBM JVM 1.8 when it's crashing. Does anyone know how to read the dmp file?
I tried to use jextract to analyze it, but it complaints as following:
/opt/ibm/ibm-java-x86_64-80/jre/bin/jextract /tmp/jitdump.20160505.165247.149.0004.dmp -v
Loading dump file...
Error. Dump type not recognised, file: /tmp/jitdump.20160505.165247.149.0004.dmp
When trying to open jitdump file via MAT+DTFJ, here is the error message:

The file is intended for IBM internal analysis only, the contents of the JIT dump files are not useful to anyone without an in depth understanding of the IBM JDK's JIT compiler internals. The existence of JIT dump file(s) does not imply that a JIT problem was encountered, the file was generated to collect data during a JVM crash so that if the crash is determined to be a JIT problem that IBM would stand a better chance of fixing the problem without having to ask for more data by recreating the problem several times.
