Package org.jcsp.util
Class InfiniteBuffer<T>
java.lang.Object
org.jcsp.util.InfiniteBuffer<T>
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Cloneable
,ChannelDataStore<T>
This is used to create a buffered object channel that always accepts and
never loses any input.
Description
InfiniteBuffer is an implementation of ChannelDataStore that yields a FIFO buffered semantics for a channel. When empty, the channel blocks readers. However, its capacity is infinite (expanding to whatever is needed so far as the underlying memory system will permit). So, it never gets full and blocks a writer. See the static construction methods ofChannel
(Channel.one2one(org.jcsp.util.ChannelDataStore)
etc.).
The getState method returns EMPTY or NONEMPTYFULL, but never FULL.
An initial size for the buffer can be specified during construction.

InfiniteBuffer
public InfiniteBuffer()Construct a new InfiniteBuffer with the default size (of 8). -
InfiniteBuffer
public InfiniteBuffer(int initialSize) Construct a new InfiniteBuffer with the specified initial size.- Parameters:
initialSize
- the number of Objects the InfiniteBuffer can initially store.- Throws:
BufferSizeError
- if size is zero or negative. Note: no action should be taken to try/catch this exception - application code generating it is in error and needs correcting.

Method Details
-
get
Returns the oldest Object from the InfiniteBuffer and removes it.Pre-condition: getState must not currently return EMPTY.
- Specified by:
get
in interfaceChannelDataStore<T>
- Returns:
- the oldest Object from the InfiniteBuffer
-
startGet
Returns the oldest object from the buffer but does not remove it. Pre-condition: getState must not currently return EMPTY.- Specified by:
startGet
in interfaceChannelDataStore<T>
- Returns:
- the oldest Object from the Buffer
- See Also:
-
endGet
public void endGet()Removes the oldest object from the buffer.- Specified by:
endGet
in interfaceChannelDataStore<T>
- See Also:
-
put
Puts a new Object into the InfiniteBuffer.Implementation note: if InfiniteBuffer is full, a new internal buffer with double the capacity is constructed and the old data copied across.
- Specified by:
put
in interfaceChannelDataStore<T>
- Parameters:
value
- the Object to put into the InfiniteBuffer
-
getState
public int getState()Returns the current state of the InfiniteBuffer.- Specified by:
getState
in interfaceChannelDataStore<T>
- Returns:
- the current state of the InfiniteBuffer (EMPTY or NONEMPTYFULL)
-
clone
Returns a new (and EMPTY) InfiniteBuffer with the same creation parameters as this one.Note: Only the initial size and structure of the InfiniteBuffer is cloned, not any stored data.
- Specified by:
clone
in interfaceChannelDataStore<T>
- Overrides:
clone
in classObject
- Returns:
- the cloned instance of this InfiniteBuffer.
-
removeAll
public void removeAll()Description copied from interface:ChannelDataStore
Deletes all items in the buffer, leaving it empty.- Specified by:
