> This PR proposes adding a new overload to `MemorySegment::getString` that > takes a known byte length of the content. > > This was previously proposed in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/20725, > but the outcome of [JDK-8333843](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8333843) > was to update `MemorySegment#getString` to suggest > > > byte[] bytes = new byte[length]; > MemorySegment.copy(segment, JAVA_BYTE, offset, bytes, 0, length); > return new String(bytes, charset); > > > However this is less efficient than what the implementation of getString does > after [JDK-8362893](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8362893), it now uses > `JavaLangAccess::uncheckedNewStringNoRepl` to avoid the copy.
