Hi Goetz,

The grammar can be a bit subtle here. IIUC we would say:

"Index %d out of bounds for length %d"

but if we turn it around we'd say:

"out-of-bounds index %d for length %d"

Anyway changes seem fine to me. Couple of comments below.

Hi,

as a follow up to "8201593: Print array length in ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException." I promised to check all occurances of out-of-bounds. This change fixes them wherever the term is not used as an adjective: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr18/8202745-out-of-bounds/01/ Please review.

src/hotspot/cpu/ppc/ppc.ad

I'd consider that an adjective form. It should say "// Throw out-of-bounds exception if ..."

src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/Objects.java

I'll just note that this grammatical change does not require a CSR request.

Thanks, David

Best regards, Goetz.
