I considered this, but allocating yet another object didn't seem like a good idea. > I'm obviously missing some context for this however. Is the > char[] really shared that often in practice with StringBuffer? It is about sharing with String. Typical usage of a StringBuilder will be to create it, do a few operations to build the string and then call toString on it. It would be nice to reuse the char[] in the String (because typically the StringBuilder will not be used anymore), but this turns out to be a pretty hard problem.
