Returns the canonical AlgART type of this array: the class of one of 9 basic interfaces, describing all kinds of AlgART arrays for 8 primitive and any non-primitive element types. More precisely, returns:

asImmutable

PIntegerArray asImmutable()

Description copied from interface: Array

Returns an immutable view of this array. If this array is already immutable (i.e. Array.isImmutable() is true), returns a reference to this object.

A array is considered to be immutable, if there are no ways to modify its content or state with help of this instance. In particular, immutable arrays never implement UpdatableArray or DirectAccessible interfaces. Moreover, any third-party implementation of Array interface must return an instance of a class, which has no methods or fields allowing to change this instance.

Query operations on the returned array "read through" to this array. The returned view is also unresizable (see UpdatableArray.asUnresizable()).

The returned view (when it is not a reference to this object) contains the same elements as this array, but independent length, start offset, capacity, copy-on-next-write and possible other information about array characteristics besides its elements, as for Array.shallowClone() method. If modifications of this array characteristics lead to reallocation of the internal storage, then the returned array ceases to be a view of this array. The only possible reasons for reallocation are the following: calling MutableArray.length(long), MutableArray.ensureCapacity(long) or MutableArray.trim() methods for this array, or any modification of this or returned array in a case when this array is copy-on-next-write.

By default, the array factories (memory models) create mutable arrays, but they can be converted to immutable by this method.

Note: Array.isNew() method, called for the result of this method, always returns false — because it does not implement UpdatableArray.

Also note: Array.isNewReadOnlyView() method, called for the result of this method, always returns the same value as Array.isNewReadOnlyView() for this object. Really,

• it this object is immutable (Array.isImmutable()==true), then it is obvious (this method just returns a reference to this array);
• it this object is not immutable (Array.isImmutable()==false), then, according to the contract to Array.isNewReadOnlyView() method, Array.isNewReadOnlyView() must return false for this array (in other case Array.isImmutable() would return true) and it also must return false for the returned array (because it is a view of another array and not an original view of external data — see the beginning of the comment to Array.isNewReadOnlyView()).

asTrustedImmutable

PIntegerArray asTrustedImmutable()

Description copied from interface: Array

Returns a trusted immutable view of this array. If this array is already trusted immutable, returns a reference to this object.

A array is considered to be "trusted" immutable, if it potentially can change its elements, but the Java code working with this array promises that it will not change them. The returned instance never implements UpdatableArray, but may implement DirectAccessible, that allow quick access to its elements. As for usual immutable view, query operations on the returned array "read through" to this array.

The only standard way allowing to change elements of returned array is using DirectAccessible.javaArray() method, in a case when the array is backed by an accessible array. But the Java code, processing the trusted immutable array, must use this method only for quick reading elements and not try to change them. If, despite the promise, the elements of the trusted immutable array will be changed, the UnallowedMutationError may be thrown by the call of Array.checkUnallowedMutation() method.

In some implementations — for example, if DirectAccessible interface is not supported by this array — this method may return the same result as Array.asImmutable().

The returned view is always unresizable.

The returned view (when it is not a reference to this object) contains the same elements as this array, but independent length, start offset, capacity, copy-on-next-write and possible other information about array characteristics besides its elements, as for Array.shallowClone() method. If modifications of this array characteristics lead to reallocation of the internal storage, then the returned array ceases to be a view of this array. The only possible reasons for reallocation are the following: calling MutableArray.length(long), MutableArray.ensureCapacity(long) or MutableArray.trim() methods for this array, or any modification of this or returned array in a case when this array is copy-on-next-write.

Trusted immutable view is a compromise between absolute safety, provided by usual immutable view, and maximal efficiency, achieved while using the original non-protected array. Please see the package description to learn more about possible usage of this method.

mutableClone

MutablePIntegerArray mutableClone(MemoryModel memoryModel)

Description copied from interface: Array

Returns a mutable resizable copy of this array. This method is equivalent to the following code:

 memoryModel.newArray(thisArray).copy(thisArray);
 

Please note: this method is a good choice for cloning little arrays (thousands, maybe millions elements). If you clone large arrays by this method, the user, in particular, has no ways to view the progress of copying or to interrupt copying. To clone large arrays, we recommend the following code:

 MutableArray clone = memoryModel.newArray(thisArray);
 Arrays.copy(someContext, clone, a);

updatableClone

UpdatablePIntegerArray updatableClone(MemoryModel memoryModel)

Description copied from interface: Array

Returns an unresizable updatable copy of this array. This method is equivalent to the following code:

 memoryModel.newUnresizableArray(thisArray).copy(thisArray);
 

Please note: this method is a good choice for cloning little arrays (thousands, maybe millions elements). If you clone large arrays by this method, the user, in particular, has no ways to view the progress of copying or to interrupt copying. To clone large arrays, we recommend the following code:

 UpdatableArray clone = memoryModel.newUnresizableArray(thisArray);
 Arrays.copy(someContext, clone, a);
