Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3179:
---------------------------------------
The check for negative indexes must be done to make the following loop work
(which is standard to iterate backwards from "startBit" on all bits):
{code:java}
for (int i = bs.prevSetBit(startBit); i >= 0; i = bs.prevSetBit(i-1)) {
// operate on index i here
}
{code}
This would fail with AIOOBE when i=0 on the last iteration (happens if 0th bit
is set), because bs.prevSetBit(i-1) has negative parameter. The exit condition
is checked later, so -1 must be allowed.
