RFR 4358774: Add null InputStream and OutputStream (original) (raw)

I like the nullInputStream() nullOutputStream() as I would first search for those names, also nullReader() / nullWriter() seem to fit more than Sink/Source or Stream

Patrick’s comment made us think again about the naming here as “nullStream()” would not fit for eventual equivalent methods on Reader and Writer. It might be better to go with something like InputStream InputStream.nullSource(); OutputStream.nullSink(); and later Reader.nullSource(); Writer.nullSink(); Another alternative would be simply to reflect the class names in the methods: InputStream InputStream.nullInputStream(); OutputStream.nullOutputStream(); and later Reader.nullReader(); Writer.nullWriter(); Comments?

Is there also a issue for the same kind of methods for Reader and Writer?
