########## File path: arrow/src/array/transform/mod.rs ########## @@ -608,18 +614,28 @@ impl<'a> MutableArrayData<'a> { /// This function panics if the range is out of bounds, i.e. if `start + len >= array.len()`. pub fn extend(&mut self, index: usize, start: usize, end: usize) { let len = end - start; - (self.extend_null_bits[index])(&mut self.data, start, len); + if !self.extend_null_bits.is_empty() { + (self.extend_null_bits[index])(&mut self.data, start, len); Review comment: Yes so if it is true it cannot assume that a bitmask won't be needed due to a call to extend_nulls. Otherwise if it is false and the arrays don't contain nulls, it knows it doesn't need to compute a null bitmask? At least that was my reading of it, although the fact you can call extend_nulls having specified use_nulls as false and get something other than a panic suggests maybe I'm missing something 😅 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
