        This buffer
      • reset

        public final PointerBuffer reset()
        Resets this buffer's position to the previously-marked position.

        Invoking this method neither changes nor discards the mark's value.

        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.InvalidMarkException - If the mark has not been set
      • clear

        public final PointerBuffer clear()
        Clears this buffer. The position is set to zero, the limit is set to the capacity, and the mark is discarded.

        Invoke this method before using a sequence of channel-read or put operations to fill this buffer. For example:

         buf.clear();     // Prepare buffer for reading
         in.read(buf);    // Read data

        This method does not actually erase the data in the buffer, but it is named as if it did because it will most often be used in situations in which that might as well be the case.

        Returns:
        This buffer
      • flip

        public final PointerBuffer flip()
        Flips this buffer. The limit is set to the current position and then the position is set to zero. If the mark is defined then it is discarded.

        After a sequence of channel-read or put operations, invoke this method to prepare for a sequence of channel-write or relative get operations. For example:

         buf.put(magic);    // Prepend header
         in.read(buf);      // Read data into rest of buffer
         buf.flip();        // Flip buffer
         out.write(buf);    // Write header + data to channel

        This method is often used in conjunction with the compact method when transferring data from one place to another.

        Returns:
        This buffer
      • rewind

        public final PointerBuffer rewind()
        Rewinds this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is discarded.

        Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or get operations, assuming that the limit has already been set appropriately. For example:

         out.write(buf);    // Write remaining data
         buf.rewind();      // Rewind buffer
         buf.get(array);    // Copy data into array
        Returns:
        This buffer
      • remaining

        public final int remaining()
        Returns the number of elements between the current position and the limit.

        Returns:
        The number of elements remaining in this buffer
      • remainingByte

        public final int remainingByte()
        Returns the number of bytes between the current position and the limit.

        Returns:
        The number of bytes remaining in this buffer
      • hasRemaining

        public final boolean hasRemaining()
        Tells whether there are any elements between the current position and the limit.

        Returns:
        true if, and only if, there is at least one element remaining in this buffer
      • allocateDirect

        public static PointerBuffer allocateDirect​(int capacity)
        Allocates a new pointer buffer.

        The new buffer's position will be zero, its limit will be its capacity, and its mark will be undefined.

        Parameters:
        capacity - The new buffer's capacity, in pointers
        Returns:
        The new pointer buffer
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the capacity is a negative integer
      • newInstance

        protected PointerBuffer newInstance​(java.nio.ByteBuffer source)
        This method is used in slice and duplicate instead of normal object construction, so that subclasses can return themselves.
        Parameters:
        source -
        Returns:
        A new PointerBuffer instance
      • slice

        public PointerBuffer slice()
        Creates a new pointer buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.

        The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

        The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of longs remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

        Returns:
        The new pointer buffer
      • duplicate

        public PointerBuffer duplicate()
        Creates a new pointer buffer that shares this buffer's content.

        The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

        The new buffer's capacity, limit and position will be identical to those of this buffer. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

        Returns:
        The new pointer buffer
      • asReadOnlyBuffer

        public PointerBuffer asReadOnlyBuffer()
        Creates a new, read-only pointer buffer that shares this buffer's content.

        The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer; the new buffer itself, however, will be read-only and will not allow the shared content to be modified. The two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

        The new buffer's capacity, limit and position will be identical to those of this buffer.

        If this buffer is itself read-only then this method behaves in exactly the same way as the duplicate method.

        Returns:
        The new, read-only pointer buffer

        public boolean isReadOnly()
      • get

        public long get()

                               long l)
        Convenience put on a target ByteBuffer.
        Parameters:

        java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
      • put

        public static void put​(java.nio.ByteBuffer target,
                               int index,
                               long l)

      • get

        public PointerBuffer get​(long[] dst,
                                 int offset,
                                 int length)
        Relative bulk get method.

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

        Otherwise, this method copies length longs from this buffer into the given array, starting at the current position of this buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length.

        In other words, an invocation of this method of the form src.get(dst, off, len) has exactly the same effect as the loop

             for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)
                 dst[i] = src.get(); 

        except that it first checks that there are sufficient longs in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

        Parameters:
        dst - The array into which longs are to be written
        offset - The offset within the array of the first long to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length
        length - The maximum number of longs to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length - offset
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length longs remaining in this buffer
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
      • get

        public PointerBuffer get​(long[] dst)
        Relative bulk get method.

        This method transfers longs from this buffer into the given destination array. An invocation of this method of the form src.get(a) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

             src.get(a, 0, a.length) 
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length longs remaining in this buffer
      • put

        public PointerBuffer put​(PointerBuffer src)
        Relative bulk put method  (optional operation).

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

        Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining() longs from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.

        In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src) has exactly the same effect as the loop

             while (src.hasRemaining())
                 dst.put(src.get()); 

        except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

        Parameters:
        src - The source buffer from which longs are to be read; must not be this buffer
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining longs in the source buffer
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the source buffer is this buffer
        java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
      • put

        public PointerBuffer put​(long[] src,
                                 int offset,
                                 int length)
        Relative bulk put method  (optional operation).

        This method transfers longs into this buffer from the given source array. If there are more longs to be copied from the array than remain in this buffer, that is, if length > remaining(), then no longs are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.

        Otherwise, this method copies length longs from the given array into this buffer, starting at the given offset in the array and at the current position of this buffer. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length.

        In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src, off, len) has exactly the same effect as the loop

             for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)
                 dst.put(a[i]); 

        except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

        Parameters:
        src - The array from which longs are to be read
        offset - The offset within the array of the first long to be read; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length
        length - The number of longs to be read from the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length - offset
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
        java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
      • put

        public final PointerBuffer put​(long[] src)
        Relative bulk put method  (optional operation).

        This method transfers the entire content of the given source long array into this buffer. An invocation of this method of the form dst.put(a) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

             dst.put(a, 0, a.length) 
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
        java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
      • compact

        public PointerBuffer compact()
        Compacts this buffer  (optional operation).

        The longs between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the long at index p = position() is copied to index zero, the long at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the long at index limit() - 1 is copied to index n = limit() - 1 - p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.

        The buffer's position is set to the number of longs copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.

        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
      • order

        public java.nio.ByteOrder order()
        Retrieves this buffer's byte order.

        The byte order of a pointer buffer created by allocation or by wrapping an existing long array is the native order of the underlying hardware. The byte order of a pointer buffer created as a view of a byte buffer is that of the byte buffer at the moment that the view is created.

        Returns:
        This buffer's byte order
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Returns a string summarizing the state of this buffer.

        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        A summary string
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Returns the current hash code of this buffer.

        The hash code of a pointer buffer depends only upon its remaining elements; that is, upon the elements from position() up to, and including, the element at limit() - 1.

        Because buffer hash codes are content-dependent, it is inadvisable to use buffers as keys in hash maps or similar data structures unless it is known that their contents will not change.

        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        The current hash code of this buffer
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object ob)
        Tells whether or not this buffer is equal to another object.

        Two pointer buffers are equal if, and only if,

        1. They have the same element type,

        2. They have the same number of remaining elements, and

        3. The two sequences of remaining elements, considered independently of their starting positions, are pointwise equal.

        A pointer buffer is not equal to any other type of object.

        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
        Parameters:
        ob - The object to which this buffer is to be compared
        Returns:
        true if, and only if, this buffer is equal to the given object
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(java.lang.Object o)
        Compares this buffer to another.

        Two pointer buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer.

        A pointer buffer is not comparable to any other type of object.

        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable
        Returns:
        A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer
