While investigating I realized that we would also lose a small optimization related to String "+" operations. When translating from .java we currently use a non-synchronizing variant of StringBuffer to do this.
In Java-5-mode I would expect ecj to use the unsynchronized java.lang.StringBuilder. If not, I'd consider it a bug. A desirable optimization would be to convert local (non-escaping) uses of StringBuffer/StringBuilder to be stack allocated. You could even stack-allocate the actual buffer up to a limited size, only heap-allocating when it gets over that size. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://per.bothner.com/
