I believe the expectation is for `Resize` to initialize this bitmap. This never happens because a length of 0 (elements in this block) fails this check: {code:java} func (b *builder) reserve(elements int, resize func(int)) { if b.length+elements > b.capacity { newCap := bitutil.NextPowerOf2(b.length + elements) resize(newCap) } }{code} As far as I can tell the arguments to AppendValues are valid. I'd be happy to submit a patch but I can see several ways of fixing this so would prefer someone familiar with the code to take a look and define expectations in this case. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
