Class OverFlowingBufferInt

java.lang.Object
org.jcsp.util.ints.OverFlowingBufferInt
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, ChannelDataStoreInt

public class OverFlowingBufferInt extends Object implements ChannelDataStoreInt, Serializable
This is used to create a buffered integer channel that always accepts input, discarding its last entered data if full.

Description

OverFlowingBufferInt is an implementation of ChannelDataStoreInt that yields a FIFO buffered semantics for a channel. When empty, the channel blocks readers. When full, a writer will be accepted but the written value overflows the buffer and is lost to the channel. See the static construction methods of Channel (Channel.one2oneInt(org.jcsp.util.ints.ChannelDataStoreInt) etc.).

The getState method returns EMPTY or NONEMPTYFULL, but never FULL.

      public OverFlowingBufferInt(int size)
      Construct a new OverFlowingBufferInt with the specified size.
      Parameters:
      size - the number of ints the OverFlowingBufferInt can store.
      Throws:
      BufferIntSizeError - if size is zero or negative. Note: no action should be taken to try/catch this exception - application code generating it is in error and needs correcting.
  • Method Details

    • get

      public int get()
      Returns the oldest int from the OverFlowingBufferInt and removes it.

      Pre-condition: getState must not currently return EMPTY.

      Specified by:
      get in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Returns:
      the oldest int from the OverFlowingBufferInt
    • startGet

      public int startGet()
      Returns the oldest integer from the buffer but does not remove it. Pre-condition: getState must not currently return EMPTY.
      Specified by:
      startGet in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Returns:
      the oldest int from the Buffer
      See Also:
    • endGet

      public void endGet()
      Removes the oldest integer from the buffer.
      Specified by:
      endGet in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      See Also:
    • put

      public void put(int value)
      Puts a new int into the OverFlowingBufferInt.

      If OverFlowingBufferInt is full, the item is discarded.

      Specified by:
      put in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Parameters:
      value - the int to put into the OverFlowingBufferInt
    • getState

      public int getState()
      Returns the current state of the OverFlowingBufferInt.
      Specified by:
      getState in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Returns:
      the current state of the OverFlowingBufferInt (EMPTY or NONEMPTYFULL)
    • clone

      public Object clone()
      Returns a new (and EMPTY) OverFlowingBufferInt with the same creation parameters as this one.

      Note: Only the size and structure of the OverFlowingBufferInt is cloned, not any stored data.

      Specified by:
      clone in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:
      the cloned instance of this OverFlowingBufferInt.
    • removeAll

      public void removeAll()
      Specified by:
      removeAll in interface ChannelDataStoreInt
