JIT generates incorrect optimised code in .NET 8 #98748

Description

Description

After migrating some projects to .NET 8 we observe some behaviour differences in certain methods in release builds, which only occur once those methods have been optimised by the JIT.

Disabling tiered PGO changes the method that fails, but does not fix the problem.

Examining the disassembly suggests a parameter value is being accidentally overwritten.

Reproduction Steps

Note that running using debug configuration does not exhibit the problem.

Expected behavior

Should complete with no output.

Actual behavior

Prints exception (thrown because a range-check fails).

Regression?

The program behaves as expected in .NET 6 (6.0.27) and .NET 7 (7.0.14).

Known Workarounds

No response

Configuration

  • .NET SDK 8.0.201
  • Windows 10 Enterprise, 10.0.19045
  • x64

Originally observed via some test failures in CI, running on Windows Server 2016 v10.0 with .NET SDK 8.0.101.

Other information

I have included a README in the repo (https://github.com/chris-white-wtw/JitIssue) with the information I've found so far.

Essentially, in each of the two variants of the bug (with and without tiered PGO), the disassembly of an optimised method includes a vmovq instruction that prematurely moves r8 to a xmm register that's still holding one of the other parameter values.

                JIT generates incorrect optimised code in .NET 8 #98748

                Description

                @chris-white-wtw

                Description

                After migrating some projects to .NET 8 we observe some behaviour differences in certain methods in release builds, which only occur once those methods have been optimised by the JIT.

                Disabling tiered PGO changes the method that fails, but does not fix the problem.

                Examining the disassembly suggests a parameter value is being accidentally overwritten.

                Reproduction Steps

                Note that running using debug configuration does not exhibit the problem.

                Expected behavior

                Should complete with no output.

                Actual behavior

                Prints exception (thrown because a range-check fails).

                Regression?

                The program behaves as expected in .NET 6 (6.0.27) and .NET 7 (7.0.14).

                Known Workarounds

                No response

                Configuration

                • .NET SDK 8.0.201
                • Windows 10 Enterprise, 10.0.19045
                • x64

                Originally observed via some test failures in CI, running on Windows Server 2016 v10.0 with .NET SDK 8.0.101.

                Other information

                I have included a README in the repo (https://github.com/chris-white-wtw/JitIssue) with the information I've found so far.

                Essentially, in each of the two variants of the bug (with and without tiered PGO), the disassembly of an optimised method includes a vmovq instruction that prematurely moves r8 to a xmm register that's still holding one of the other parameter values.
