Brian, Alan, Markus, Chen – thank you for your feedback on this
issue! At this point we seem to agree that 1) there is merit to this
idea, 2) nobody loves a new public class (including me), and 3) this
is not a subclass of ByteArrayOutputStream. Are we ready to move this
to CSR and continue the API discussion there?
Thank you very much! 😊
I think there is agreement that ByteArrayOutputStream.unsynchronized(int
cap) (or some such method) would be useful. It would not require using a
contiguous byte[] as the backing array so there is scope to experiment
with implementations that don't need to resize like the base BAOS does.
Extending BOAS means the size is limited to an int. To go beyond would
be a different API and there is lots of scope to do experiments. I think
too early to create a CSR for MOS, assuming this is what you mean.
