COWAL could be changed to return a new object > too. The set only has a map field, and AbstractSet does not define any additional field. The map should be fine too - two fields in AbstractMap are cleared when cloning happens, so recreating a map from a constructor should have the same effect. (Note a significant field `head` is not cleared upon clone, but seems immediately replaced later in `buildFromSorted`). Both should still be fine with this new return values. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/24821#discussion_r2056616868
