That zero-length check in `String(char[], int, int, Void)` was done as an optimization, too, so would be good if we leveraged it in paths that currently miss out for consistency. It was done maybe not so much for speed but to reduce memory and allocation pressure (empty `String`s are surprisingly common in many apps). ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25290#discussion_r2107206228
