Hi Claes,

Thank for catching this. Looks good.

Note that the original changeset (JDK-8215281) went into JDK 12 before the RDP1 fork, so this fix should also go into JDK 12. That's a different repo now. It will then be auto-propagated to the JDK mainline ("JDK 13").

Since JDK-8215380 is a P3 bug, it's eligible to go into JDK 12 after RDP1 without any further approval.

Hi,

I need to revert an accidental change to String.length

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215380
Patch inlined below

Running the accidentally pushed version in naive microbenchmarks showed
that avoiding the shift operation can improve throughput of str.length()
by a small measure (~1.06x) for latin1-only inputs, neutral for mixed
or utf16-only inputs, but also adds a branch (visible in profiling)
which could blow up in more real cases. Regardless, it should be
reviewed and discussed on it's own merits. Sorry!
