CopyOnWriteArrayList Class

Definition

A thread-safe variant of java.util.ArrayList in which all mutative operations (add, set, and so on) are implemented by making a fresh copy of the underlying array.

Remarks

A thread-safe variant of java.util.ArrayList in which all mutative operations (add, set, and so on) are implemented by making a fresh copy of the underlying array.

This is ordinarily too costly, but may be <em>more</em> efficient than alternatives when traversal operations vastly outnumber mutations, and is useful when you cannot or don't want to synchronize traversals, yet need to preclude interference among concurrent threads. The "snapshot" style iterator method uses a reference to the state of the array at the point that the iterator was created. This array never changes during the lifetime of the iterator, so interference is impossible and the iterator is guaranteed not to throw ConcurrentModificationException. The iterator will not reflect additions, removals, or changes to the list since the iterator was created. Element-changing operations on iterators themselves (remove, set, and add) are not supported. These methods throw UnsupportedOperationException.

All elements are permitted, including null.

Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a CopyOnWriteArrayList<i>happen-before</i> actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from the CopyOnWriteArrayList in another thread.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Constructors

CopyOnWriteArrayList()

Creates an empty list.

CopyOnWriteArrayList(ICollection)

Creates a list containing the elements of the specified collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's iterator.

CopyOnWriteArrayList(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

CopyOnWriteArrayList(Object[])

Creates a list holding a copy of the given array.

Methods

Add(Int32, Object)

Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this list.

Add(Object)

AddAll(Int32, ICollection)

Inserts all of the elements in the specified collection into this list, starting at the specified position.

AddAllAbsent(ICollection)

Appends all of the elements in the specified collection that are not already contained in this list, to the end of this list, in the order that they are returned by the specified collection's iterator.

AddIfAbsent(Object)

Appends the element, if not present.

Clear()

Removes all of the elements from this list.

Clone()

Returns a shallow copy of this list.

Contains(Object)

Returns true if this list contains the specified element.

ContainsAll(ICollection)

Returns true if this list contains all of the elements of the specified collection.

Dispose() (Inherited from Object)

Equals(Object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

(Inherited from Object)
ForEach(IConsumer)
