This is very dangerous and makes it hard to audit for any mis-uses in "far away" code. A supporting method in java.lang that provides a read-only view of the byte[] would be okay but that might be a different type of ByteVector. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/32373#discussion_r3783549184
