The proposed change has been modified to replace the two methods byte[] InputStream.readAllBytes(int) // reads at most ‘len’ bytes byte[] InputStream.readNBytes(int) // reads exactly ‘len’ bytes or throws IOException
with a single method byte[] InputStream.readNBytes(int) // reads at most ‘len’ bytes A negative value of ‘len’ will now cause an IllegalArgumentException instead of an IndexOutOfBoundsException. Also some verbiage has been improved. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8139206/webrev.01/ Thanks, Brian On Jan 16, 2018, at 11:17 AM, Brian Burkhalter <brian.burkhal...@oracle.com> wrote: > https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8139206 > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8139206/webrev.00/ > > This change would add a new method “byte[] InputStream.readNBytes(int len)” > which would read up to at most ‘len’ bytes from the stream and return them > in an internally allocated array.
