Bottom-line: Don't use clone except to copy arrays.
So I'd rephrase my comment on the commit: let "clone()" in place
but with the comment that it's the only acceptable use of it.

String is still a type of Object (requiring GC handling of reference
counters), as you can do Object[] o = stringArray.clone(); without
casting.  (other way not so)

https://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue124.html says there is
hardly any difference, so I don't think we need to fight this one out
and can just go with the cleanest code :)

But this is an Object[] - a native type.

Huh?

The code says String[], which is native as it's final.

Object[] may not be native

I must admit I am not sure what is really the preferred way - I
thought .clone() is best as the VM can copy an array natively however it wants, while with Arrays.copyOf it might have to check if length is
the same before doing anything clever.

In the specific case of String[] it might be OK to use clone, but in
general it's better to use the proper JVM methods and not try to
second-guess how efficient they are.

CSV-216: Avoid Arrays.copyOf()



Why?


Agreed

as .clone() will do



We should rather avoid using "clone()".


Again: why?


There are many discussions about this topic on the web.[1]
My point is that using "clone()" is not good advice.

Gilles

[1] E.g. http://vojtechruzicka.com/java-cloning-problems/


It's not clear why Arrays.copyOf(0 is considered bad, nor why clone()
is considered bad.

.withValue(x) in an out-of-range column
