@normanmaurer if you use `Integer.MAX_VALUE` instead of `-1` as the opt-out case (i.e. never have to worry about negative values), then the condition below will become simpler:    ```java  return size > TRY_ALLOCATE_UNINITIALIZED_ARRAY ?      PlatformDependent0.allocateUninitializedArray(size) :      new byte[size];  ```
