Utility methods to work with arrays. This includes a set of methods to find a mismatch between two primitive arrays. Also included is a method to calculate the new length of an array to be reallocated.

Array equality and lexicographical comparison can be built on top of array mismatch functionality.

The mismatch method implementation, vectorizedMismatch, leverages vector-based techniques to access and compare the contents of two arrays. The Java implementation uses Unsafe.getLongUnaligned to access the content of an array, thus access is supported on platforms that do not support unaligned access. For a byte[] array, 8 bytes (64 bits) can be accessed and compared as a unit rather than individually, which increases the performance when the method is compiled by the HotSpot VM. On supported platforms the mismatch implementation is intrinsified to leverage SIMD instructions. So for a byte[] array, 16 bytes (128 bits), 32 bytes (256 bits), and perhaps in the future even 64 bytes (512 bits), platform permitting, can be accessed and compared as a unit, which further increases the performance over the Java implementation.

None of the mismatch methods perform array bounds checks. It is the responsibility of the caller (direct or otherwise) to perform such checks before calling this method.

Find the relative index of the first mismatching pair of elements in two primitive arrays of the same component type. Pairs of elements will be tested in order relative to given offsets into both arrays.

This method does not perform type checks or bounds checks. It is the responsibility of the caller to perform such checks before calling this method.

The given offsets, in bytes, need not be aligned according to the given log2 size the array elements. More specifically, an offset modulus the size need not be zero.

Params:
  • a – the first array to be tested for mismatch, or null for direct memory access
  • aOffset – the relative offset, in bytes, from the base address of the first array to test from, otherwise if the first array is null, an absolute address pointing to the first element to test.
  • b – the second array to be tested for mismatch, or null for direct memory access
  • bOffset – the relative offset, in bytes, from the base address of the second array to test from, otherwise if the second array is null, an absolute address pointing to the first element to test.
  • length – the number of array elements to test
  • log2ArrayIndexScale – log2 of the array index scale, that corresponds to the size, in bytes, of an array element.
Returns:if a mismatch is found a relative index, between 0 (inclusive) and length (exclusive), of the first mismatching pair of elements in the two arrays. Otherwise, if a mismatch is not found the bitwise compliment of the number of remaining pairs of elements to be checked in the tail of the two arrays.

A soft maximum array length imposed by array growth computations. Some JVMs (such as HotSpot) have an implementation limit that will cause OutOfMemoryError("Requested array size exceeds VM limit") to be thrown if a request is made to allocate an array of some length near Integer.MAX_VALUE, even if there is sufficient heap available. The actual limit might depend on some JVM implementation-specific characteristics such as the object header size. The soft maximum value is chosen conservatively so as to be smaller than any implementation limit that is likely to be encountered.

public static final int SOFT_MAX_ARRAY_LENGTH = Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8;
Computes a new array length given an array's current length, a minimum growth amount, and a preferred growth amount. The computation is done in an overflow-safe fashion. This method is used by objects that contain an array that might need to be grown in order to fulfill some immediate need (the minimum growth amount) but would also like to request more space (the preferred growth amount) in order to accommodate potential future needs. The returned length is usually clamped at the soft maximum length in order to avoid hitting the JVM implementation limit. However, the soft maximum will be exceeded if the minimum growth amount requires it. If the preferred growth amount is less than the minimum growth amount, the minimum growth amount is used as the preferred growth amount. The preferred length is determined by adding the preferred growth amount to the current length. If the preferred length does not exceed the soft maximum length (SOFT_MAX_ARRAY_LENGTH) then the preferred length is returned. If the preferred length exceeds the soft maximum, we use the minimum growth amount. The minimum required length is determined by adding the minimum growth amount to the current length. If the minimum required length exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE, then this method throws OutOfMemoryError. Otherwise, this method returns the greater of the soft maximum or the minimum required length. Note that this method does not do any array allocation itself; it only does array length growth computations. However, it will throw OutOfMemoryError as noted above. Note also that this method cannot detect the JVM's implementation limit, and it may compute and return a length value up to and including Integer.MAX_VALUE that might exceed the JVM's implementation limit. In that case, the caller will likely attempt an array allocation with that length and encounter an OutOfMemoryError. Of course, regardless of the length value returned from this method, the caller may encounter OutOfMemoryError if there is insufficient heap to fulfill the request.
Params:
  • oldLength – current length of the array (must be nonnegative)
  • minGrowth – minimum required growth amount (must be positive)
  • prefGrowth – preferred growth amount
Throws:
Returns:the new array length
