Hello, Last Friday, I decided to look if there were some classes that did unneeded array assignments (e.g. to 0 / 0.0f / null / false) in the JDK.
I've found a few places and in particular 2 places where it's done in big for loops (looping more than 500 times). So I thought you might be interested to know about them. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/6871a2ff1207d3ee70973b1c4ee9bd09969c185b/src/java.base/share/classes/java/text/MergeCollation.java#L72 https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/6871a2ff1207d3ee70973b1c4ee9bd09969c185b/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/text/CompactByteArray.java#L85 Also for CompactByteArray, maybe it's worth checking that defaultValue is different than 0 before entering the for loop (Line 80) Let me know if you're interested in fixing them and if you want me to fill 2 bugs for them in the JBS or in bugreport.java.com. Best regards, Anthony Goubard
