-            if (method.getParameters().isEmpty()
-                    && method.getSimpleName().contentEquals("iterator")) {
-                iteratorMethod = (Symbol.MethodSymbol) method;
+        // See buildCloseMethodAccess for why we use members().getSymbolsByName rather than


@copilot This same pattern is used four times in this file. Extract it out into a new helper method findMethodByName or something like that. It will take the Element and the Name as parameters and return the MethodSymbol.

Addressed in a2110b0.

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

This PR refactors parts of javacutil to reduce allocations and avoid certain javac symbol-completion failures, while also adjusting collection semantics and adding caching for repeated lookups.

Changes:

Replace elements.getAllMembers member lookups with javac symbol-table traversal for iterator/close/hasNext/next method resolution.
Reduce list-allocation churn by switching from List.append to ListBuffer in hot loops.
Update annotation collection/map behaviors (including addAll, keySet() caching, and lookup logic) and add small caches in AnnotationBuilder.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 8 out of 8 changed files in this pull request and generated 5 comments.

File	Description
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/trees/TreeBuilder.java`	Use `members().getSymbolsByName` + supertype closure to find methods, avoiding costly member completion.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/TypeAnnotationUtils.java`	Use `ListBuffer` to avoid repeated persistent-list appends in loops.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/TreePathUtil.java`	Replace one-element `EnumSet` calls with simple loops / shared constant set.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/Resolver.java`	Cache reflective handles and reduce per-call reflection/list allocations.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/AnnotationUtils.java`	Change `areSame(Collection, Collection)` comparison strategy.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/AnnotationMirrorSet.java`	Align `addAll` with `Set` contract; adjust hash-code caching behavior.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/AnnotationMirrorMap.java`	Rely on TreeMap comparator for O(log n) lookups; add cached `keySet()` snapshot.
`javacutil/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/javacutil/AnnotationBuilder.java`	Cache annotation methods list and unmodifiable element-values map wrapper.

Just as a heads up, I was blocked by some firewall rules while working on your feedback. Expand below for details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

Bad @copilot ! Don't just push changes without verifying with me first! I undid most of these changes.

Confirmed: most of that follow-up was already reverted in a73d233, and I won’t push further changes without your confirmation.
