public class CharBigArrayBigList extends AbstractCharBigList implements RandomAccess, Cloneable, Serializable
A type-specific big list based on a big array; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing.

This class implements a lightweight, fast, open, optimized, reuse-oriented version of big-array-based big lists. Instances of this class represent a big list with a big array that is enlarged as needed when new entries are created (by increasing its current length by 50%), but is never made smaller (even on a clear()). A family of trimming methods lets you control the size of the backing big array; this is particularly useful if you reuse instances of this class. Range checks are equivalent to those of java.util's classes, but they are delayed as much as possible. The backing big array is exposed by the elements() method.

This class implements the bulk methods removeElements(), addElements() and getElements() using high-performance system calls (e.g., System.arraycopy()) instead of expensive loops.

    • trim

    • trim

      public void trim(long n)
      Trims the backing big array if it is too large. If the current big array length is smaller than or equal to n, this method does nothing. Otherwise, it trims the big-array length to the maximum between n and size64().

      This method is useful when reusing big lists. Clearing a big list leaves the big-array length untouched. If you are reusing a big list many times, you can call this method with a typical size to avoid keeping around a very large big array just because of a few large transient big lists.

      n - the threshold for the trimming.
