Class LinkedBlockingDeque<E>

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractCollection<E>

java.util.AbstractQueue<E>

java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements held in this deque

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, BlockingDeque<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Deque<E>, Queue<E>

public class LinkedBlockingDeque<E>
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements BlockingDeque<E>, Serializable

An optionally-bounded blocking deque based on linked nodes.

The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a way to prevent excessive expansion. The capacity, if unspecified, is equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Linked nodes are dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the deque above capacity.

Most operations run in constant time (ignoring time spent blocking). Exceptions include remove, removeFirstOccurrence, removeLastOccurrence, contains, iterator.remove(), and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear time.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

the remaining capacity

drainTo

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)

Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue

Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:

drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:

c - the collection to transfer elements into

Returns:

the number of elements transferred

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection

ClassCastException - if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection

NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null

IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection

Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:

drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:

c - the collection to transfer elements into

maxElements - the maximum number of elements to transfer

public boolean remove(Object o)

Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the first element e such that o.equals(e) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this deque contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this deque changed as a result of the call).

This method is equivalent to removeFirstOccurrence.

Specified by:

remove in interface BlockingDeque<E>

Specified by:

remove in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Specified by:

remove in interface Collection<E>

Specified by:

remove in interface Deque<E>

Specified by:

addAll in interface Deque<E>

Overrides:

addAll in class AbstractQueue<E>

Parameters:

c - the elements to be inserted into this deque

true if this deque changed as a result of the call

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified collection or any of its elements are null

IllegalArgumentException - if the collection is this deque

IllegalStateException - if this deque is full

add(Object)

toArray

public Object[] toArray()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence (from first to last element).

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this deque. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.

Specified by:

toArray in interface Collection<E>

Overrides:

toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>

Returns:

an array containing all of the elements in this deque

toArray

public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the deque fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this deque.

If this deque fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this deque), the element in the array immediately following the end of the deque is set to null.

Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.

Suppose x is a deque known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the deque into a newly allocated array of String:

 String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);

Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().

Specified by:

toArray in interface Collection<E>

Overrides:

toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>

Type Parameters:

T - the component type of the array to contain the collection

Parameters:

a - the array into which the elements of the deque are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose

Returns:

an array containing all of the elements in this deque

Throws:

ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this deque

NullPointerException - if the specified array is null

clear

public void clear()

Atomically removes all of the elements from this deque. The deque will be empty after this call returns.

Specified by:

clear in interface Collection<E>

Overrides:

clear in class AbstractQueue<E>

iterator

public Iterator<E> iterator()

Returns an iterator over the elements in this deque in proper sequence. The elements will be returned in order from first (head) to last (tail).

The returned iterator is weakly consistent.

The returned iterator is weakly consistent.

Specified by:

descendingIterator in interface Deque<E>

Returns:

an iterator over the elements in this deque in reverse order

spliterator

public Spliterator<E> spliterator()

Returns a Spliterator over the elements in this deque.

The returned spliterator is weakly consistent.

The Spliterator reports Spliterator.CONCURRENT, Spliterator.ORDERED, and Spliterator.NONNULL.

Specified by:

spliterator in interface Collection<E>

Specified by:

spliterator in interface Iterable<E>

Implementation Note:

The Spliterator implements trySplit to permit limited parallelism.

Returns:

a Spliterator over the elements in this deque

Since:

1.8

forEach

public void forEach(Consumer<? super E> action)

Description copied from interface: Iterable

Performs the given action for each element of the Iterable until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. Actions are performed in the order of iteration, if that order is specified. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.

The behavior of this method is unspecified if the action performs side-effects that modify the underlying source of elements, unless an overriding class has specified a concurrent modification policy.

Specified by:

forEach in interface Iterable<E>

Parameters:

action - The action to be performed for each element

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified action is null
