Negated character classes performance regression in Pattern

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      We observe a significant performance regression in the regex Pattern class for patterns containing negated character classes. The regression was introduced in JDK 9 when function objects implemented as anonymous inner classes in java.util.regex.Pattern were replaced by lambda functions.

      From jdk8u to the tip, CPU utilization increases from 2.14s to 3.25s, 51.8% more. The total runtime increases from 1.84s to 3.12s, or 1.7x slower.

      Test:
      perf stat -r 20 java -XX:-TieredCompilation Repro on x86_64 Linux.
      ----------------------------
      jdk8u:
                2,140.05 msec task-clock # 1.163 CPUs utilized ( +- 1.48% )
      ...
