Hi Roger,

Thanks for taking a close look at this.

In the @throws IndexOutOfBounds I think it is easier to understand to say

* or {@code off + len} is greater than {@code cbuf.length}

It matches the code more closely.

The reason for the verbiage is that it matches (module removal of a redundant “or” in the throws verbiage) Reader.read(char[],int,int) with which I thought it would good to be consistent in an operation-symmetric sense:

It better to propagate the best practices, not something that can be improved. Since you are updating the writing classes, I think it ok to put a lower priority on the Reader classes.


- Is not clear why the form of the added @throws is different between the methods (other than len = string.size()

Writer.write(String,int,int) already had a throws exception for IOOBEs so I was trying to be consistent with that:

http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/java/io/Writer.html#write-java.lang.String-int-int-

I just think that {@code cbuf.length - off}, is not an intuitive way to talk about the out of range condition.

The write(string, off, len) uses a better form and I think its more important that the methods in a class use the similar form. It is much more noticeable comparing two methods in a class than methods in different classes. (Fixing up Reader would be a different request).


line 214: add a spaces in "off+len"

Most/All files have the same pattern.  It would be nice to be consistent.

Again, this is the same as in the extent Writer.write(String,int,int).
This uses the form I think is more readable:

 178      *          or {@code off + len} is negative or greater than the length

Thanks, Roger


Thanks,

Brian
