Hi all, what would it take to get JDK-5071718 into 9?
I thought about something like this; /** Creates a new byte buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content. The content of the new buffer will start at the given position. The capacity and limit of the new buffer will be the given length. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent. The new buffer's position will be zero, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only. Returns:The new byte buffer **/ public abstract ByteBuffer slice(int start, int length) Probably should emit some exception in case start or start+length are greater than the underlying buffer length. Any further ideas for required checks? Seems I need to modify the templates to get this distributed to all the variants existing - not only ByteBuffer. Anyone able to guide me and help me get this through - I am willing to provide implementation and tests if I know where to look for obstacles and challenges?
