Class InfiniteBufferInt

java.lang.Object
org.jcsp.util.ints.InfiniteBufferInt
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, ChannelDataStoreInt

public class InfiniteBufferInt extends Object implements ChannelDataStoreInt, Serializable
This is used to create a buffered integer channel that always accepts and never loses any input.

Description

InfiniteBufferInt is an implementation of ChannelDataStoreInt 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 of Channel (Channel.one2oneInt(org.jcsp.util.ints.ChannelDataStoreInt) etc.).

The getState method returns EMPTY or NONEMPTYFULL, but never FULL.

An initial size for the buffer can be specified during construction.

  • Constructor Details

    • InfiniteBufferInt

      public InfiniteBufferInt()
      Construct a new InfiniteBufferInt with the default size (of 8).
    • InfiniteBufferInt

      public InfiniteBufferInt(int initialSize)
      Construct a new InfiniteBufferInt with the specified initial size.
      Parameters:
      initialSize - the number of ints the InfiniteBufferInt can initially store.
      Throws:
      BufferIntSizeError - if initialSize 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

      public int get()
      Returns the oldest int from the InfiniteBufferInt and removes it.

      Pre-condition: getState must not currently return EMPTY.

      Specified by:
      get in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Returns:
      the oldest int from the InfiniteBufferInt
    • startGet

      public int startGet()
      Returns the oldest integer from the buffer but does not remove it. Pre-condition: getState must not currently return EMPTY.
      Specified by:
      startGet in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Returns:
      the oldest int from the Buffer
      See Also:
    • endGet

      public void endGet()
      Removes the oldest integer from the buffer.
      Specified by:
      endGet in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      See Also:
    • put

      public void put(int value)
      Puts a new int into the InfiniteBufferInt.

      Implementation note: if InfiniteBufferInt is full, a new internal buffer with double the capacity is constructed and the old data copied across.

      Specified by:
      put in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Parameters:
      value - the int to put into the InfiniteBufferInt
    • getState

      public int getState()
      Returns the current state of the InfiniteBufferInt.
      Specified by:
      getState in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Returns:
      the current state of the InfiniteBufferInt (EMPTY or NONEMPTYFULL)
    • clone

      public Object clone()
      Returns a new (and EMPTY) InfiniteBufferInt with the same creation parameters as this one.

      Note: Only the initial size and structure of the InfiniteBufferInt is cloned, not any stored data.

      Specified by:
      clone in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:
      the cloned instance of this InfiniteBufferInt.
    • removeAll

      public void removeAll()
      Specified by:
      removeAll in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
