    • get

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

      This method transfers pointers from this buffer into the specified 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:
      BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length pointers remaining in this buffer
    • get

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

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

      Otherwise, this method copies length pointers from this buffer into the specified array, starting at the current position of this buffer and at the specified 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,&nbsp;off,&nbsp;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 pointers in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

      Parameters:
      dst - the array into which pointers are to be written
      offset - the offset within the array of the first pointer to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length
      length - the maximum number of pointers to be written to the specified array; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length - offset
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length pointers remaining in this buffer
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
    • put

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

      This method transfers the entire content of the specified source pointer 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:
      BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
    • put

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

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

      Otherwise, this method copies length pointers from the specified array into this buffer, starting at the specified 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,&nbsp;off,&nbsp;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 pointers are to be read
      offset - the offset within the array of the first pointer to be read; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length
      length - the number of pointers to be read from the specified array; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length - offset
      Returns:
      This buffer
      Throws:
      BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
    • 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 Pointer.Default
      Returns:
      the current hash code of this buffer
    • equals

      public boolean equals(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 Pointer.Default
      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(PointerBuffer that)
      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 Comparable<PointerBuffer>
      Returns:
      A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified buffer
