I opted to directly use Unsafe rather than defer. I am not sure it’s always possible to defer to the underlying buffer since its positional and order state is mutable.
Eww. The view has its own position, and the byte ordering is fixed when the view is created. The wrapped byte buffer is in a protected field, and the view is a package-private class so it can't be subclassed by the user. So I would have thought that could be made to work, but but never mind, I can see you've gone a long way down this road already. The SPARC regression is very odd: I would have thought that if it's broken here it would also be broken in HeapByteBuffer.getLong(). Andrew.
