Marvin Humphrey updated LUCY-97:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: oversize.diff

The algorithm provided by this patch was hammered out on the java-dev mailing
list in the January 12 thread "Dynamic array reallocation algorithms"
(http://markmail.org/thread/x427sku4wrnc3rjf) and in LUCENE-2213.

> The problem of incremental array growth affects several of our classes:
> CharBuf, ByteBuf, BitVector, VArray, and others yet to be submitted.  Ideally,
> the growth algorithm should...
>   * Overestimate by enough to prevent pathological reallocation, but not by
>     so much as to significantly increase overall memory footprint.
>   * Round up so that allocation requests are multiples of the architecture's
>     word size.
>   * Grow faster at small sizes.
> To apply this logic consistently, we can isolate it in a new function, 
> Memory_oversize().
