Sorry, I forgot to incorporate changes to AbstractList.removeRange() documentation, which you Martin had suggested.

Here's the webrev with those included:

In addition to the javadoc correction, it includes a regression test and a check for (fromIndex > toIndex). The last check turns out to be sufficient for removeRange() method to agree with the javadoc.
Other checks are handled by the following System.arraycopy() call.

Sincerely yours,

The corner case for removeRange(SIZE, SIZE) does seem rather tricky, and it's easy for an implementation to get it wrong. All the more reason to add tests!

It was a good idea to add a test for removeRange().
I just discovered that IOOB isn't thrown when you call removeRange(1, 0) or removeRange(4, 0).
However, the exception is thrown when you call removeRange(5, 0).

The fix seems to become a bit more than just a doc typo fix :-)


And when you do list.removeRange(1, 0), the list becomes longer.

    Thank you Chris!

    It is System.arraycopy() method, where checking is performed and
    the exception is thrown.
    Here's this code:
      if ( (((unsigned int) length + (unsigned int) src_pos) >
    (unsigned int) s->length())
         || (((unsigned int) length + (unsigned int) dst_pos) >
    (unsigned int) d->length()) ) {
THROW(vmSymbols::java_lang_ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException());
      }

    This confirms that size() is a valid value for fromIndex.

    Another way to think of it is that fromIndex <= toIndex, and
    toIndex can be equal to size().
    Therefore, fromIndex can be equal to size() too.

    The documentation also says that 'If toIndex==fromIndex, this
    operation has no effect.', so removeRange(size(), size()) is a
    valid expression and should not cause an exception be thrown (and
    it actually does not).

    Sincerely yours,
    Ivan

        Ivan,

        This does look a little odd, but since fromIndex is inclusive
I would think that it should throw if passed a value of size() ??

            Hello!

            Would you please review a simple fix of the javadoc for
            ArrayList#removeRange() method?

            The doc says that IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if
            fromIndex or toIndex is out of range (fromIndex < 0 ||
            fromIndex >= size() || toIndex > size() || toIndex <
            fromIndex).

            The condition 'fromIndex >= size()' isn't true and should
            be removed from the doc.

            For example, the code list.removeRange(size(), size())
            does not throw any exception.
