To correct an oversight to include security-dev in the reviews...
Several security tests were modified to use the HexPrinter instead of
HexDumpEncoder.
Please review[2] and comment on a new Hex printing utility to support
OpenJDK tests.
The usefulness of a hex printing has been discussed from time to time with
many suggestions as to the API shape and features.
To get an idea of the API and features, take a look at the javadoc[1].
It covers the basic formatting of offset, and values, and extends the
descriptive part beyond simple ASCII or printable so that a custom
formatter
can interpret the byte stream in parallel to the bytes.
The webrev includes changes to existing tests that currently
use HexDumpEncoder to use HexPrinter.
Comments appreciated, Roger
