All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<DoubleBuffer>
public abstract class DoubleBuffer
extends Buffer
implements Comparable<DoubleBuffer>
A double buffer.

This class defines four categories of operations upon double buffers:

  • Absolute and relative get and put methods that read and write single doubles;

  • Absolute and relative bulk get methods that transfer contiguous sequences of doubles from this buffer into an array; and

  • Absolute and relative bulk put methods that transfer contiguous sequences of doubles from a double array or some other double buffer into this buffer; and

  • A method for compacting a double buffer.

Double buffers can be created either by allocation, which allocates space for the buffer's content, by wrapping an existing double array into a buffer, or by creating a view of an existing byte buffer.

Like a byte buffer, a double buffer is either direct or non-direct. A double buffer created via the wrap methods of this class will be non-direct. A double buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct. Whether or not a double buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the isDirect method.

Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be chained.

      Allocates a new double buffer.

      The new buffer's position will be zero, its limit will be its capacity, its mark will be undefined, each of its elements will be initialized to zero, and its byte order will be the native order of the underlying hardware. It will have a backing array, and its array offset will be zero.

      Parameters:
      capacity - The new buffer's capacity, in doubles
      Returns:
      The new double buffer
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If the capacity is a negative integer

    • wrap

      public static DoubleBuffer wrap​(double[] array, int offset, int length)
      Wraps a double array into a buffer.

      The new buffer will be backed by the given double array; that is, modifications to the buffer will cause the array to be modified and vice versa. The new buffer's capacity will be array.length, its position will be offset, its limit will be offset + length, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be the native order of the underlying hardware. Its backing array will be the given array, and its array offset will be zero.

      Parameters:
      array - The array that will back the new buffer
      offset - The offset of the subarray to be used; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length. The new buffer's position will be set to this value.
      length - The length of the subarray to be used; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length - offset. The new buffer's limit will be set to offset + length.
      Returns:
      The new double buffer
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold

    • wrap

      public static DoubleBuffer wrap​(double[] array)
      Wraps a double array into a buffer.

      The new buffer will be backed by the given double array; that is, modifications to the buffer will cause the array to be modified and vice versa. The new buffer's capacity and limit will be array.length, its position will be zero, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be the native order of the underlying hardware. Its backing array will be the given array, and its array offset will be zero.

      Parameters:
      array - The array that will back this buffer
      Returns:
      The new double buffer

    • slice

      public abstract DoubleBuffer slice()
      Creates a new double 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 doubles remaining in this buffer, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be identical to that 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.

      Specified by:
      slice in class Buffer
      Returns:
      The new double buffer

    • slice

      public abstract DoubleBuffer slice​(int index, int length)
      Creates a new double buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.

      The content of the new buffer will start at position index in this buffer, and will contain length elements. 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 length, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be identical to that 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.

      Specified by:
      slice in class Buffer
      Parameters:
      index - The position in this buffer at which the content of the new buffer will start; must be non-negative and no larger than limit()
      length - The number of elements the new buffer will contain; must be non-negative and no larger than limit() - index
      Returns:
      The new buffer

    • duplicate

      public abstract DoubleBuffer duplicate()
      Creates a new double 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, position, mark values, and byte order 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.

      Specified by:
      duplicate in class Buffer
      Returns:
      The new double buffer

    • asReadOnlyBuffer

      public abstract DoubleBuffer asReadOnlyBuffer()
      Creates a new, read-only double 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, position, mark values, and byte order 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 double buffer

    • get

    • get

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

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

      Otherwise, this method copies length doubles 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 doubles in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.
      Parameters:
      dst - The array into which doubles are to be written
      offset - The offset within the array of the first double to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length
      length - The maximum number of doubles to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length - offset
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length doubles remaining in this buffer
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold

    • get

      public DoubleBuffer get​(double[] dst)
      Relative bulk get method.

      This method transfers doubles 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)
      Parameters:
      dst - The destination array
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length doubles remaining in this buffer

    • get

      public DoubleBuffer get​(int index, double[] dst, int offset, int length)
      Absolute bulk get method.

      This method transfers length doubles from this buffer into the given array, starting at the given index in this buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this buffer is unchanged.

      An invocation of this method of the form src.get(index, dst, offset, length) has exactly the same effect as the following loop except that it first checks the consistency of the supplied parameters and it is potentially much more efficient: 

      
     for (int i = offset, j = index; i < offset + length; i++, j++)
         dst[i] = src.get(j);
      Parameters:
      index - The index in this buffer from which the first double will be read; must be non-negative and less than limit()
      dst - The destination array
      offset - The offset within the array of the first double to be written; must be non-negative and less than dst.length
      length - The number of doubles to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than the smaller of limit() - index and dst.length - offset
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the index, offset, and length parameters do not hold

      13

    • get

      public DoubleBuffer get​(int index, double[] dst)
      Absolute bulk get method.

      This method transfers doubles from this buffer into the given destination array. The position of this buffer is unchanged. An invocation of this method of the form src.get(index, dst) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation: 

           src.get(index, dst, 0, dst.length)
      Parameters:
      index - The index in this buffer from which the first double will be read; must be non-negative and less than limit()
      dst - The destination array
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - If index is negative, not smaller than limit(), or limit() - index < dst.length

      13

    • put

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

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

      Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining() doubles 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 doubles are to be read; must not be this buffer
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining doubles in the source buffer

      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++)

      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.

      Overrides:
      flip in class Buffer
      Returns:
      This buffer

    • rewind

      public final DoubleBuffer 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
      Overrides:
      rewind in class Buffer
      Returns:
      This buffer

    • compact

      public abstract DoubleBuffer compact()
      Compacts this buffer  (optional operation).

      The doubles between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the double at index p = position() is copied to index zero, the double at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the double 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 doubles 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:
      ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only

    • isDirect

      public abstract boolean isDirect()
      Tells whether or not this double buffer is direct.
      Specified by:
      isDirect in class Buffer
      Returns:
      true if, and only if, this buffer is direct

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a string summarizing the state of this buffer.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      A summary string

    • hashCode

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

      The hash code of a double 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 Object
      Returns:
      The current hash code of this buffer
      See Also:
      Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)

    • equals

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

      Two double 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. This method considers two double elements a and b to be equal if (a == b) || (Double.isNaN(a) && Double.isNaN(b)). The values -0.0 and +0.0 are considered to be equal, unlike Double.equals(Object).

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

      Overrides:
      equals in class 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
      See Also:
      Object.hashCode(), HashMap

    • compareTo

      public int compareTo​(DoubleBuffer that)
      Compares this buffer to another.

      Two double buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer. Pairs of double elements are compared as if by invoking Double.compare(double,double), except that -0.0 and 0.0 are considered to be equal. Double.NaN is considered by this method to be equal to itself and greater than all other double values (including Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY).

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

      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable<DoubleBuffer>
      Parameters:
      that - the object to be compared.
      Returns:
      A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer

    • mismatch

      public int mismatch​(DoubleBuffer that)
      Finds and returns the relative index of the first mismatch between this buffer and a given buffer. The index is relative to the position of each buffer and will be in the range of 0 (inclusive) up to the smaller of the remaining elements in each buffer (exclusive).

      If the two buffers share a common prefix then the returned index is the length of the common prefix and it follows that there is a mismatch between the two buffers at that index within the respective buffers. If one buffer is a proper prefix of the other then the returned index is the smaller of the remaining elements in each buffer, and it follows that the index is only valid for the buffer with the larger number of remaining elements. Otherwise, there is no mismatch.

      Parameters:
      that - The byte buffer to be tested for a mismatch with this buffer
      Returns:
      The relative index of the first mismatch between this and the given buffer, otherwise -1 if no mismatch.
      Since:
      11

    • order

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

      The byte order of a double buffer created by allocation or by wrapping an existing double array is the native order of the underlying hardware. The byte order of a double 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
