Thanks Andrew!

Introducing getCharSequenceCoder() is actually an enhancement, which may improve pre-allocation in certain cases.

It's not actually required to restore correctness of StringBuilder/Buffer constructors.

I recommend to separate it from this bug fix, so it can be discussed separately, and determined if this is the best approach to this enhancement.

If you agree, I can adjust your latest patch accordingly, run it through the Mach5 test systems and push it on your behalf.

With kind regards,

Ivan

I was thinking of organizing code similar to what is done in AbstractStringBuilder(int):

if (COMPACT_STRINGS && coderHint == LATIN1) {
    value = new byte[capacity];
    coder = LATIN1;
} else {
    value = StringUTF16.newBytesFor(capacity);
    coder = UTF16;
}

With kind regards,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
I think I see what you're saying, you mean we also need to correct this line in AbstractStringBuilder
constructor:
value = (coder == LATIN1)
               ? new byte[capacity] : StringUTF16.newBytesFor(capacity);
to be maybe:
value = (COMPACT_STRINGS && coder == LATIN1)
               ? new byte[capacity] : StringUTF16.newBytesFor(capacity);

The passed in coder stills need to be correct, since with COMPACT_STRINGS a string could be UTF16 if
it cannot be compacted, so it's more than just a hint isn't it?

Thanks

Hi Andrew!

Thanks for finding this bug!

Your fix solves the problem.

However, I think the main issue is that the constructor
AbstractStringBuilder(byte,int,int) is now broken:  as you discovered,
it allows to create a string buffer with the coder LATIN1 when
COMPACT_STRINGS is false.

Wouldn't it make sense to rename the argument of the constructor to,
say, coderHint, and then either use it as the coder if
COMPACT_STRINGS==true, or discard it otherwise.

What do you think?

With kind regards,
Ivan
