In the compact string implementation of non-latin1 (UTF16) strings the length is constrained by VM implementation limit on the size a byte array that can be allocated. To produce a useful exception the implementation checks the string size against the maximum byte array size. The exception message is correct
"UTF16 String size is " + len + ", should be less than or equal to " + MAX_LENGTH The code should match the message, otherwise the exception thrown is: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit ------------- Commit messages: - 8321180: Condition for non-latin1 string size too large is off by one Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17008/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=17008&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8321180 Stats: 129 lines in 2 files changed: 119 ins; 7 del; 3 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17008.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/17008/head:pull/17008 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17008
