Hi, This is a request to include an enhancement into JDK 7u6: 6924259: Remove String.count/String.offset
Vladimir Kozlov has committed the required HotSpot changes already (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/hotspot/rev/8f972594effc). The changes were imported into the jdk7u-dev workspace as part of Alejandro's bulk push. <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/2012-May/003155.html> This change has been reviewed on corelibs-dev and has also had considerable internal review as it changed hands during development. The latest webrev for this change is at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/6924259/1/webrev/ I hope to push in time for the b13 build to: ssh://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev-gate/jdk Thanks! Mike
