Class ArrayBuilders


  • public final class ArrayBuilders
    extends java.lang.Object
    Helper class that contains set of distinct builders for different arrays of primitive values. It also provides trivially simple reuse scheme, which assumes that caller knows not to use instances concurrently (which works ok with primitive arrays since they can not contain other non-primitive types). Also note that instances are not thread safe; the intent is that a builder is constructed on per-call (deserialization) basis.

      • getArrayComparator

        public static java.lang.Object getArrayComparator​(java.lang.Object defaultValue)
        Helper method used for constructing simple value comparator used for comparing arrays for content equality.

        Note: current implementation is not optimized for speed; if performance ever becomes an issue, it is possible to construct much more efficient typed instances (one for Object[] and sub-types; one per primitive type).

        public static <T> java.util.HashSet<T> arrayToSet​(T[] elements)
      • insertInListNoDup

        public static <T> T[] insertInListNoDup​(T[] array,
                                                T element)
        Helper method for constructing a new array that contains specified element followed by contents of the given array but never contains duplicates. If element already existed, one of two things happens: if the element was already the first one in array, array is returned as is; but if not, a new copy is created in which element has moved as the head.
