Package org.jcsp.util
Class Buffer
java.lang.Object
org.jcsp.util.Buffer
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Cloneable
,ChannelDataStore
This is used to create a buffered object channel that never loses data.
Description
Buffer is an implementation of ChannelDataStore that yields a blocking FIFO buffered semantics for a channel. See the static construction methods ofChannel
(Channel.one2one(org.jcsp.util.ChannelDataStore)
etc.).
The getState method returns EMPTY, NONEMPTYFULL or FULL according to the state of the buffer.

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