Class DynamicArray

Direct Known Subclasses:

BooleanArray, DoubleArray, FileArray, IntegerArray, MapArray, ObjectArray, StringArray

public abstract class DynamicArray
extends java.lang.Object

A DynamicArray is like List except that is exposes the underlying array. DynamicArray is abstract so that clients can supply a method to allocate the array to be of a particular type. This gets back some of the runtime type checking that List loses, and allows more concise enumeration. Here is a sample concrete subclass:

        public class IntegerArray extends DynamicArray
        {
            public Object[] alloc (int size)
            {
                return new Integer[ size ];
            }

            public final Integer[] array ()
            {
                return (Integer[]) array;
            }
        }
    

A use of IntegerArray might look like this:

        IntegerArray v = Util.integerList();
        v.addElement (Constants.getInteger(1));
        v.addElement (Constants.getInteger(2));

        Integer[] a = v.array();
        for (int k = 0; k < v.inUse; k++) {
            doIntegerOp(a[k]);
        }
    

Using List, each element access in the loop would entail a procedure call and a cast.

Note that this is not a thread-safe implementation. Consumer is responsible for synchronizing the access to the object

Field Detail

array

public java.lang.Object[] array

The storage array. This member should be accessed directly for reading only It is public for unit tests only.

inUse

public int inUse

Deprecated. see inUse()

The number of members that are currently used. This is the logical length of the array. This member should be accessed directly only for reading.

Constructor Detail

DynamicArray

public DynamicArray()

Create a DynamicArray with a default storage size.

DynamicArray

public DynamicArray(int size)

Create a new DynamicArray

Parameters:

size - The starting size of the storage array. A size of -1 creates an instance with no array allocated.

Method Detail

inUse

public int inUse()

The number of members that are currently used. This is the logical length of the array. This member should be accessed directly only for reading.

Returns:

the number of members that are currently used

setArray

public void setArray(java.lang.Object[] array)

Replace the storage array. The new storage array has to be the right type or the next call to array() will cause a ClassCastException. Must override in subclass if using the local array hack to get around the Netscape varifier bug involving casting of Object arrays.

Parameters:

array - The new array to use as storage

setCapacity

public void setCapacity(int size)

Change the size of the storage. The size cannot be decreased below the number of elements that are currently being used.

Parameters:

size - The new requested size

makeRoomFor

public void makeRoomFor(int want)

Make sure there is room for additional elements.

Parameters:

want - The number of elements we want to have space for

addElement

public void addElement(java.lang.Object o)

Deprecated. use add instead

Add an element to the array.

Parameters:

o - The element to add

See Also:

add(Object)

add

public void add(java.lang.Object o)

Add an element to the array.

Parameters:

o - The element to add

addElementIfAbsent

public void addElementIfAbsent(java.lang.Object o)

Add an element to the array, if it isn't in the array

Parameters:

o - The element to add. If o is already in the array then it is not added. o.equals() is used to compare elements.

addElementsIfAbsent

public void addElementsIfAbsent(java.lang.Object[] that)

that -

See Also:
