Core-Lib Devs,
as proposed in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8377388 I would like
to replace "new StringReader(String)" by "Reader.of(CharSequence);" in
java.util.Scanner, which seems to be safe and simple:
* There is no actual need for the synchronization found in StringReader,
as Scanner itself is explicitly *not* synchronized, no code depends on
StringReader in partiular, and the reader is not leaked.
Alan, Chen and Jaikiran were already active in the JIRA ticket.
I have meanwhile coded the change (see diff at
https://github.com/mkarg/jdk/commit/03837bb46aeb4c907af0fef8063f461aceaf079a)
and tested it successfully using OpenJDK Github Actions (see result at
https://github.com/mkarg/jdk/actions/runs/21787869983).
Are you fine with me opening a Pull Request on Github?
Thanks!
-Markus
