CopyOnWriteArrayList (moe.ios.core API)

java.lang.Object
- java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>, RandomAccess
```
public class CopyOnWriteArrayList<E>
extends Object
implements List<E>, RandomAccess, Cloneable, Serializable
```
A thread-safe random-access list.
Read operations (including get(int)) do not block and may overlap with update operations. Reads reflect the results of the most recently completed operations. Aggregate operations like addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E>) and clear() are atomic; they never expose an intermediate state.
Iterators of this list never throw ConcurrentModificationException. When an iterator is created, it keeps a copy of the list's contents. It is always safe to iterate this list, but iterations may not reflect the latest state of the list.
Iterators returned by this list and its sub lists cannot modify the underlying list. In particular, Iterator.remove(), ListIterator.add(E) and ListIterator.set(E) all throw UnsupportedOperationException.
This class offers extended API beyond the List interface. It includes additional overloads for indexed search (indexOf(E, int) and lastIndexOf(E, int)) and methods for conditional adds (addIfAbsent(E) and addAllAbsent(java.util.Collection<? extends E>)).

- Method Detail
  - clone
```
public Object clone()
```
    Description copied from class: Object
    
    Creates and returns a copy of this Object. The default implementation returns a so-called "shallow" copy: It creates a new instance of the same class and then copies the field values (including object references) from this instance to the new instance. A "deep" copy, in contrast, would also recursively clone nested objects. A subclass that needs to implement this kind of cloning should call super.clone() to create the new instance and then create deep copies of the nested, mutable objects.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a copy of this object.
  - size

  - iterator
```
public Iterator<E> iterator()
```
    Returns an Iterator that iterates over the elements of this list as they were at the time of this method call. Changes to the list made after this method call will not be reflected by the iterator, nor will they trigger a ConcurrentModificationException.
    The returned iterator does not support Iterator.remove().
    
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface Iterable<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:

    Returns:
    
    an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence
  - listIterator
```
public ListIterator<E> listIterator(int index)
```
    Returns a ListIterator that iterates over the elements of this list as they were at the time of this method call. Changes to the list made after this method call will not be reflected by the iterator, nor will they trigger a ConcurrentModificationException.
    The returned iterator does not support ListIterator.add(E), ListIterator.set(E) or Iterator.remove(),
    
    Specified by:
    
    listIterator in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - index of the first element to be returned from the list iterator (by a call to next)
    
    Returns:
    
    a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position in the list
  - listIterator
```
public ListIterator<E> listIterator()
```
    Equivalent to listIterator(0).
    
    Specified by:
    
    listIterator in interface List<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence)
  - subList
```
public List<E> subList(int from,
                       int to)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    Returns a view of the portion of this list between the specified fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex and toIndex are equal, the returned list is empty.) The returned list is backed by this list, so non-structural changes in the returned list are reflected in this list, and vice-versa. The returned list supports all of the optional list operations supported by this list.
    This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a list can be used as a range operation by passing a subList view instead of a whole list. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a list:
```
      list.subList(from, to).clear();
 
```
    Similar idioms may be constructed for indexOf and lastIndexOf, and all of the algorithms in the Collections class can be applied to a subList.
    The semantics of the list returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this list) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned list. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of this list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)
    Specified by:
    
    subList in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    from - low endpoint (inclusive) of the subList
    
    to - high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList
    
    Returns:
    
    a view of the specified range within this list
  - toArray
```
public Object[] toArray()
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Returns an array containing all of the elements in this list in proper sequence (from first to last element).
    The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this list. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this list is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
    This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toArray in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    toArray in interface List<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing all of the elements in this list in proper sequence
    
    See Also:
    
    Arrays.asList(Object[])
  - toArray
```
public <T> T[] toArray(T[] contents)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    Returns an array containing all of the elements in this list in proper sequence (from first to last element); the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the list fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this list.
    If the list fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the list), the element in the array immediately following the end of the list is set to null. (This is useful in determining the length of the list only if the caller knows that the list does not contain any null elements.)
    Like the List.toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
    Suppose x is a list known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the list into a newly allocated array of String:
```
     String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
 
```
    Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().
    Specified by:
    
    toArray in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    toArray in interface List<E>
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the runtime type of the array to contain the collection
    
    Parameters:
    
    contents - the array into which the elements of this list are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the elements of this list
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object other)
```
    Description copied from class: Object
    
    Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, o must represent the same object as this instance using a class-specific comparison. The general contract is that this comparison should be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Also, no object reference other than null is equal to null.
    The default implementation returns true only if this == o. See Writing a correct equals method if you intend implementing your own equals method.
    The general contract for the equals and Object.hashCode() methods is that if equals returns true for any two objects, then hashCode() must return the same value for these objects. This means that subclasses of Object usually override either both methods or neither of them.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface List<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the object to compare this instance with.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the specified object is equal to this Object; false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    Object.hashCode()
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from class: Object
    
    Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.
    Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.
    See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface List<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    this object's hash code.
    
    See Also:
    
    Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Description copied from class: Object
    Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:
```
   getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
```
    See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a printable representation of this object.
  - add
```
public boolean add(E e)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Appends the specified element to the end of this list (optional operation).
    Lists that support this operation may place limitations on what elements may be added to this list. In particular, some lists will refuse to add null elements, and others will impose restrictions on the type of elements that may be added. List classes should clearly specify in their documentation any restrictions on what elements may be added.
    
    Specified by:
    
    add in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    add in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - element to be appended to this list
    
    Returns:
    
    true (as specified by Collection.add(E))
  - add
```
public void add(int index,
                E e)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).
    
    Specified by:
    
    add in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - index at which the specified element is to be inserted

```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Appends all of the elements in the specified collection to the end of this list, in the order that they are returned by the specified collection's iterator (optional operation). The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (Note that this will occur if the specified collection is this list, and it's nonempty.)
    
    Specified by:
    
    addAll in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    addAll in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    collection - collection containing elements to be added to this list
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
    
    See Also:
    
    List.add(Object)
  - addAll
```
public boolean addAll(int index,
                      Collection<? extends E> collection)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Inserts all of the elements in the specified collection into this list at the specified position (optional operation). Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (increases their indices). The new elements will appear in this list in the order that they are returned by the specified collection's iterator. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (Note that this will occur if the specified collection is this list, and it's nonempty.)
    
    Specified by:
    
    addAll in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - index at which to insert the first element from the specified collection
    
    collection - collection containing elements to be added to this list
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this list changed as a result of the call
  - addAllAbsent
```
public int addAllAbsent(Collection<? extends E> collection)
```
    Adds the elements of collection that are not already present in this list. If collection includes a repeated value, at most one occurrence of that value will be added to this list. Elements are added at the end of this list.
    Callers of this method may prefer CopyOnWriteArraySet, whose API is more appropriate for set operations.
  - addIfAbsent
```
public boolean addIfAbsent(E object)
```
    Adds object to the end of this list if it is not already present.
    Callers of this method may prefer CopyOnWriteArraySet, whose API is more appropriate for set operations.
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Removes all of the elements from this list (optional operation). The list will be empty after this call returns.

    clear in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface List<E>
  - remove
```
public E remove(int index)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Removes the element at the specified position in this list (optional operation). Shifts any subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices). Returns the element that was removed from the list.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface List<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index of the element to be removed
    
    Returns:
    
    the element previously at the specified position
  - remove
```
public boolean remove(Object o)
```
    Description copied from interface: List
    
    Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from this list, if it is present (optional operation). If this list does not contain the element, it is unchanged. More formally, removes the element with the lowest index i such that Objects.equals(o, get(i)) (if such an element exists). Returns true if this list contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this list changed as a result of the call).
    
    Specified by:
