It's wasteful to create a 1-byte array to read into. Just use the
nullary read method.

readAllBytes() was recently (in b93) changed by Alan Bateman to fix
8014928.
Here's what I've done:
- reverted readAllBytes() to its implementation prior b93.
- modified it to address both 8020669 and 8014928.

Here's how it should behave:
- allocate 'size' byte byte array
- if size > 0:
- use simple old I/O to read into the array
- do a one-byte read(), if not EOF then expand the array, using
a simple growth pattern like 3/2 (with a special case for 0),
and continue reading until EOF
- if the array matches the size of the file, return the array,
else use copyOf() to shrink it
This way you only ever copy the array size() was wrong.

Hi Roger!
This is how my implementation behaves:
- allocate 'size' bytes in BAOS
- allocate 8k for temp buffer
- in cycle read 8k or less bytes from input stream and copy
them into BAOS
- if capacity of BAOS isn't sufficient (file had grown), its
buffer will
be reallocated
Thus, 1 reallocation and 1 copying of already read data on
each 8k piece
of additional bytes.
In normal case, i.e. when fc.size() is correct, we have
overhead of 1
allocation and copying 'size' bytes in size/8k iterations.
And this is how current implementation does
- allocate 'size' bytes
- allocate 'size' bytes of native memory for temp buffer in
IOUtil.read()
- read the whole file into temp buffer
- copy the temp buffer back into our buffer
In common when fc.size() is right, we have 1 allocation and
copying
'size' bytes from temp buffer back.
So there is a difference in allocations/copying, but in my
opinion it's
not that significant for this particular task.

Ivan

Hi Ivan,
I'm concerned about the change in behavior for the
existing working
cases.
How many times are the bytes copied in your proposed
implementation?
How many arrays are allocated and discarded?
Files.copy() uses an extra array for the copies.
BAOS should only be used for size == 0; that would
address the issue
without changing the current behavior or allocations.

- File size is used as an initial size of BAOS's
buffer.
- BAOS avoids copying its buffer in toByteArray(),
if size is correct .
I don't want to initialize BAOS with a positive
number if size
happened to be zero.
Because zero could indicate that the file is really
empty.

My mistake, we're not talking about strings.
Still you can subclass
and determine whether the buffer size guess was
right, and if so
return the array as-is (swap in an empty array
or something as needed).

Hi Ivan,
I think this change takes too big a hit
for the cases where the
size is
correct.
No real file system can be wrong about
the size of a file so this
is a
problem
only for special file systems. If the
problem is with size
reporting zero
then maybe using the incremental read
only for size == would be a
better
fix.
At least you could pass the size to the
constructor for BAOS and
avoid
the thrashing for every re-size; but
still it will allocate and
create
an extra copy
of the every time.

Hello everybody!
Would you please review a fix for
the problem with
j.n.f.Files.readAllBytes() function?
The current implementation relies on
FileChannel.size() to
preallocate
a buffer for the whole file's
content.
However, some special filesystems
can report a wrong size.
An example is procfs under Linux,
which reports many files under
/proc
to be zero sized.
Thus it is proposed not to rely on
the size() and instead
continuously
read until EOF.
The downside is reallocation and
copying file content between
buffers.
But taking into account that the doc
says: "It is not intended for
reading in large files." it should
not be a big problem.

The fix is for JDK8. If it is
approved, it can be applied to
JDK7 as
well.
