Alan & Chris,
However, let me propose something else. How about /all /the methods in
StringBuffer be synchronized? Although this is not strictly necessary, it
works because reentrant synchronization is allowed.
Reentrant lock acquisition is not free. In core libraries like
StringBuffer we should prefer the lesser evil of code duplication to the
loss of performance.
I have to agree with Martin here. There may still be some minor clean up
that makes sense here, but I believe the existing synchronization and
delegation is most appropriate.
