DataBuffer

Visits the backing storage of this buffer.

The buffer implementation is responsible of passing back a reference to the actual data storage to the provided visitor. The visitor does not have to handle all possible types of data storage and can override only methods for storage it is actually interested in. For any other type of storage, this call will fallback to fallback() so the visitor can execute some generic routine if needed.

Write the references of the objects in the source array into this buffer.

If there are more values to copy than the destination buffer size, i.e. size > dst.size(), then no values are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown. On the other hand, if there are more values to copy that the source buffer size, i.e. > src.size(), then a BufferUnderfloatException is thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies n = size values from this buffer into the destination buffer.

Checks equality between data buffers.

A data buffer is equal to another object if this object is another DataBuffer of the same size, type and the elements are equal and in the same order. For example:

IntDataBuffer buffer = DataBuffers.of(1, 2, 3);

 assertEquals(buffer, DataBuffers.of(1, 2, 3));  // true
 assertEquals(buffer, DataBuffers.ofObjects(1, 2, 3));  // true, as Integers are equal to ints
 assertNotEquals(buffer, DataBuffers.of(1, 2, 3, 0));  // false, different sizes
 assertNotEquals(buffer, DataBuffers.of(1, 3, 2));  // false, different order
 assertNotEquals(buffer, DataBuffers.of(1L, 2L, 3L));  // false, different types
 

Note that the computation required to verify equality between two buffers can be expensive in some cases and therefore, it is recommended to not use this method in a critical path where performances matter.

Reads the value at the given index. Important: Usage of this method should be limited to buffers of non-primitive types or when the data type is not deterministically known by the caller. In any other case, prefer the usage of its primitive variant which will significantly improve performances (e.g. IntDataBuffer.getInt(idx)

Tells whether or not this buffer is backed by an accessible array.

Creates a new buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content, whose size is set to the given value.

The new size must not be greater than this buffer size. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer and vice versa. The new buffer will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

This call is equivalent to slice(0, size)

Creates a new buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content, starting at the given index.

The index must not be greater than this buffer size. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer and vice versa. The new buffer will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

This call is equivalent to slice(index, size() - index)

Read the references of the objects in this buffer into the destination array.

This method transfers values from this buffer into the given destination array. If there are fewer values in the buffer than are required to satisfy the request, that is, if dst.length > size(), then no values are transferred and a BufferUnderflowException is thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies n = dst.length values from this buffer into the given array.

Read the references of the objects in this buffer into the destination array.

This method transfers values from this buffer into the given destination array. If there are fewer values in the buffer than are required to satisfy the request, that is, if length > size(), then no values are transferred and a BufferUnderflowException is thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies n = length values from this buffer into the given array starting at the given offset.

Writes the given value into this buffer at the given index. Important: Usage of this method should be limited to buffers of non-primitive types or when the data type is not deterministically known by the caller. In any other case, prefer the usage of its primitive variant which will significantly improve performances (e.g. IntDataBuffer.setInt(idx)

Size of the buffer, in elements.

For exemple, in case of a byte buffer, this value is equal to the number of bytes this buffer can hold. For an integer buffer, it is equal to the number of integers, therefore the size in bytes of this buffer is size() * Integer.BYTES.

Creates a new buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content, starting at the given index and of the given size.

The index plus the new size must not be greater than this buffer size. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer and vice versa. The new buffer will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

Creates a DataBufferWindow that provides a partial view of this buffer.

The created window has a fixed size and can "slide" along this buffer to provide different views of the data without allocating a new buffer instance, like offset(long) does. This improves overall performance when this operation is repeated frequently. For example:

IntDataBuffer bufferA = DataBuffers.ofInts(1024);
 // ... init buffer data
 IntDataBuffer bufferB = DataBuffers.ofInts(1, 2, 3, 4);

 // Return the index of the first occurrence of bufferB in bufferA using a sliding window
 DataBufferWindow<IntDataBuffer> windowA = bufferA.window(4);
 for (int i = 0; i < bufferA.size() - bufferB.size(); ++i) {
     if (windowA.slideTo(i).buffer().equals(bufferB)) {
         return i;
     
 }
 }

The returned object is stateful and is not thread-safe.

Write the references of the objects in the source array into this buffer.

This method transfers the values in the given source array into this buffer. If there are more values in the source array than in this buffer, that is, if src.length > size(), then no values are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies n = src.length values from the given array.

Bulk put method, using int arrays.

This method transfers the values in the given source array into this buffer. If there are more values in the source array than in this buffer, that is, if length > size(), then no values are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies n = length values from the given array into this buffer, starting at the given offset.
