Ivan,
It might be worth trying String.index + StringBuilder, instead of
writing/handling everything yourself.
Yes, it inevitably adds an arraycopy at the end to convert the
StrinbBuilder to String, but it might have
better balance between performance and code complexity. The regex is
probably a little heavy for
literal string replacement, but StringBuilder should not be that bad ...

In the check at 2300-2301 and 2351-2352 I replaced MAX_ARRAY_SIZE with
Integer.MAX_VALUE, which seems to be more accurate here.
And I want to add that this proposed implementation is not only
faster, but also more memory efficient.
The following simple stress-test shows that the proposed version is
able to handle twice larger strings, comparing to the current
implementation.
----------------------------------------
public class C {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
String s = "string";
for (int i = 1; i < Integer.MAX_VALUE; ++i) {
try {
s = s.replace("string", "stringstring");
} catch (OutOfMemoryError o) {
System.out.println(i + ") " + s.length());
break;
}
}
}
}

Hello everybody!
I know many people here like it when the performance is getting better.
It was suggested to make the literal variant of String.replace() faster.
Currently, this method is implemented as a few calls to regexp API,
so that the whole implementation takes only two lines of code.
I've created two versions of the fix.
In the first one, we scan the string and store indices of the found
substrings in an array.
Then, we allocate the precisely sized char array and fill it it.
The case with the empty target has to be handled separately.

The second variant is much less verbose, however it's less efficient
too.
Here the StringJoiner is used as an intermediate storage.

Here are the micro-benchmark results (in a string of ~300 chars do
~15 replacements).
0) Baseline
MyBenchmark.test thrpt 40 257'051.948 ± 4537.484 ops/s
1) Heavy-duty +308%
MyBenchmark.test thrpt 40 1'049'235.602 ± 15501.803 ops/s
2) StringJoiner +190%
MyBenchmark.test thrpt 40 746'000.629 ± 15387.036 ops/s
Personally, I like my first variant better, even though it adds
almost 300 lines of code.
But I'd like to hear what people think of it.
Sincerely yours,
Ivan
