I suppose this could be added but it is something an application also
can easily do for itself.

The straight reference, rather than a copy surprised me, but I suppose
(I am not familiar
with the working of the Area class) that all mutations must create a new
Vector ...

I’m working a lot with the Area class lately. Is there any interest in
the following optimization?
Area#add(Area) currently resembles:
public void add(Area rhs) {
curves = new AreaOp.AddOp().calculate(this.curves, rhs.curves);
invalidateBounds();
}
I propose replacing it with:
public void add(Area rhs) {
if (isEmpty()) {
curves = rhs.curves;
} else if (rhs.isEmpty()) {
return;
} else {
curves = new AreaOp.AddOp().calculate(this.curves, rhs.curves);
}
invalidateBounds();
}
If either operand is empty then this is effectively a null op. But the
current implementation may still take several seconds to return
depending on the complexity of the non-empty operand.
For example the following two snippets of code may have significantly
different execution times:
Area sum = new Area();
for(Shape shape : incomingShapes) {
sum.add(new Area(shape));
}
vs
Area sum = new Area(shapes.get(0));
for(int a = 1; a < incomingShapes.size(); a++) {
Shape shape = incomingShapes.get(a);
sum.add(new Area(shape));
}
And similarly we could review the other operations
(subtract/intersect/exclusiveOr/transform) for obvious potential null
ops.
If I understand openjdk rules correctly: I'm not authorized to submit
an openJDK ticket. Does this interest anyone else on this list enough
to submit this as an openJDK ticket? (I'm happy to work on it if I can
help.)
