A bit more closer look at the code and it appears to me that the use of : DecimalFormatSymbols dfs = DFS; and then working off that local variable prevents any kind of race issues that might be caused due to multi-thread access. Of course it still means that multiple threads might still go ahead and do a: dfs = DecimalFormatSymbols.getInstance(locale); on first access (when `DFS` is null) but that in itself should be harmless. If this is intentional (which I suspect it is), should some comment be added in this method explaining this multi-thread access detail? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7703
