This patch improves `UnixPath.encode` by reusing `JLA.getBytesNoRepl` (which has fast-paths for common encoding) and avoiding a `toCharArray` call on the input by refactoring the `normalizeNativePath` code to operate on `String`. This might have a cost on files on Mac that need additional native normalization.
This removes another `ThreadLocal` and a source of `SoftReference`s. Together with the UTF-8 fast-path my UTF-8 encoded file system see substantial speed-ups in a trivial `new File(str).toPath()` microbenchmark. ------------- Commit messages: - Add micro. To properly examine cost of toPath() needs a new File due caching - use FileOpen as a baseline - Optimize UnixPath.encode Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2135/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=2135&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8259947 Stats: 138 lines in 6 files changed: 79 ins; 45 del; 14 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2135.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/2135/head:pull/2135 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2135
