public interface Reference2ReferenceMap<K,V> extends Reference2ReferenceFunction<K,V>, Map<K,V>
A type-specific Map; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing, and handling of a default return value.

Besides extending the corresponding type-specific function, this interface strengthens Map.entrySet(), keySet() and values(). Moreover, a number of methods, such as size(), defaultReturnValue(), etc., are un-defaulted as their function default do not make sense for a map. Maps returning entry sets of type Reference2ReferenceMap.FastEntrySet support also fast iteration.

This interface specifies reference equality semantics (members will be compared equal with == instead of equals) for its keys or values (or both), which may result in breaks in contract if attempted to be used with non reference-equality semantics based Maps. For example, a aReferenceToIntMap.equals(aObjectToIntMap) may return different a different result then aObjectToIntMap.equals(aReferenceToIntMap), in violation of equals's contract requiring it being symmetric.

A submap or subset may or may not have an independent default return value (which however must be initialized to the default return value of the originator).

  • Method Details

    • size

      int size()
      Returns the number of key/value mappings in this map. If the map contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.
      Specified by:
      size in interface Function<K,V>
      Specified by:
      size in interface Map<K,V>
      Returns:
      the number of key-value mappings in this map.
      See Also:
    • clear

      default void clear()
      Removes all of the mappings from this map (optional operation). The map will be empty after this call returns.
      Specified by:
      clear in interface Function<K,V>
      Specified by:
      clear in interface Map<K,V>
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the clear() operation is not supported by this map
      See Also:
    • defaultReturnValue

      void defaultReturnValue(V rv)
      Sets the default return value (optional operation). This value must be returned by type-specific versions of get(), put() and remove() to denote that the map does not contain the specified key. It must be null by default.

      Warning: Changing this to a non-null value can have unforeseen consequences. Especially, it breaks compatibility with the specifications of Java's Map interface. It has to be used with great care and thorough study of all method comments is recommended.

      Specified by:
      defaultReturnValue in interface Reference2ReferenceFunction<K,V>
      Parameters:
      rv - the new default return value.
      See Also:
    • defaultReturnValue

      V defaultReturnValue()
      Gets the default return value.
      Specified by:
      defaultReturnValue in interface Reference2ReferenceFunction<K,V>
      Returns:
      the current default return value.
    • reference2ReferenceEntrySet

      ObjectSet<Reference2ReferenceMap.Entry<K,V>> reference2ReferenceEntrySet()
      Returns a type-specific set view of the mappings contained in this map.

      This method is necessary because there is no inheritance along type parameters: it is thus impossible to strengthen Map.entrySet() so that it returns an ObjectSet of type-specific entries (the latter makes it possible to access keys and values with type-specific methods).

      Returns:
      a type-specific set view of the mappings contained in this map.
      See Also:
    • entrySet

      default ObjectSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()
      Returns a set view of the mappings contained in this map.
      Specified by:
      entrySet in interface Map<K,V>
      Returns:
      a set view of the mappings contained in this map.
      See Also:
      API Notes:
      Note that this specification strengthens the one given in Map.entrySet().
    • put

      default V put(K key, V value)
      Adds a pair to the map (optional operation).

      This default implementation just delegates to the corresponding function method.

      Parameters:
      key - the key.
      value - the value.
      Returns:
      the old value, or the default return value if no value was present for the given key.
      See Also:
    • remove

      default V remove(Object key)
      Removes the mapping with the given key (optional operation).

      This default implementation just delegates to the corresponding type-specific–function method.

    • computeIfAbsent

      default V computeIfAbsent(K key, Reference2ReferenceFunction<? super K,? extends V> mappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value, attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map, unless the key is not present in the given mapping function.

      This version of computeIfAbsent() uses a type-specific version of fastutil's Function. Since Function has a containsKey() method, it is possible to avoid adding a key by having containsKey() return false for that key.

      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      mappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key.
      Since:
      8.0.0
      See Also:
      API Notes:
      all computeIfAbsent() methods have a different logic based on the argument; no delegation is performed, contrarily to other superficially similar methods such as Iterator.forEachRemaining(java.util.function.Consumer<? super E>) or List.replaceAll(java.util.function.UnaryOperator<E>).

      @Deprecated default V computeReferenceIfAbsentPartial(K key, Reference2ReferenceFunction<? super K,? extends V> mappingFunction)
      Deprecated.
      Please use computeIfAbsent() instead.
    • computeIfPresent

      default V computeIfPresent(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
      If the value for the specified key is present, attempts to compute a new mapping given the key and its current mapped value.
      Specified by:
      computeIfPresent in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      remappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or the default return value if none.

      8.0.0

      API Notes:
      The JDK specification for this method equates not being associated with a value with being associated with {code null}. This is not the case for this method.
    • compute

      default V compute(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
      Attempts to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping).

      If the function returns null, the mapping is removed (or remains absent if initially absent). If the function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.

      Specified by:
      compute in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      remappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or the default return value if none.

      default V merge(K key, V value, BiFunction<? super V,? super V,? extends V> remappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value, associates it with the given value. Otherwise, replaces the associated value with the results of the given remapping function, or removes if the result is null.
      Specified by:
      merge in interface Map<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the resulting value is to be associated.
      value - the value to be merged with the existing value associated with the key or, if no existing value is associated with the key, to be associated with the key.
      remappingFunction - the function to recompute a value if present.
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or the default return value if no value is associated with the key.
      Since:
      8.0.0
