This paper provides an in-depth analysis of various implementation methods and performance characteristics of array filling operations in Java. By examining the source code implementation of the Arrays.fill() method, we reveal its iterative nature. The paper also introduces a binary expansion filling algorithm based on System.arraycopy, which reduces loop iterations through geometric progression copying strategy and can significantly improve performance in specific scenarios. Combining IBM research papers and actual benchmark test data, we compare the efficiency differences among various filling methods and discuss the impact of JVM JIT compilation optimization on performance. Finally, through optimization cases of array filling in Rust language, we demonstrate the importance of compiler automatic optimization to memset operations, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for developers to choose appropriate data filling strategies.
