SPVM::ByteList - Dynamic byte Arrays

Description

The ByteList class in SPVM has methods to manipulate dynamic byte arrays.

Usage

use ByteList;

# Create a byte list
my $list = ByteList->new;
my $list = ByteList->new([(byte)1, 2, 3]);

# Create a byte list with array length
my $list = ByteList->new_len(10);

# Get list length
my $length = $list->length;

# Push value
$list->push(3);

# Pop value.
my $element = $list->pop;

# Unshift value.
$list->unshift(3);

# Shift value.
my $element = $list->shift;

# Set value.
$list->set(2, 3);

# Get value.
my $element = $list->get(2);

# Insert value
$list->insert(1, 3);

# Remove value
my $element = $list->remove(1);

# Convert list to array.
my $array = $list->to_array;

Details

Internal Data Structure

The "array" stored in a ByteList object always starts at index 0.

The elements in the range that is greater than or equal to "length" field and less than "capacity" field are filled with 0.

Fields

capacity

has capacity : ro int;

The capacity. This is the length of the internally reserved elements to extend the length of the list.

length

has length : ro int;

The length of the list.

array

has array : byte[];

The internal array stored in the ByteList object.

Class Methods

new

static method new : ByteList ($array : byte[] = undef, $capacity : int = -1);

Creates a new ByteList object using "new_len".

The passed length to "new_len" is the length of $array. If the array is undef, the length is 0.

The elements of $array are copied to the elements of the the created array.

Examples:

my $list = ByteList->new;
my $list = ByteList->new([(byte)1, 2, 3]);

new_len

static method new_len : ByteList ($length : int, $capacity : int = -1);

Creates a new ByteList object with $length and $capacity.

If $capacity is less than 0, the capacity is set to the default value.

If $length is greater than $capacity, $capacity is set to $length.

Exceptions:

$length must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

Instance Methods

get

method get : int ($index : int);

Gets the element of the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

insert

method insert : void ($index : int, $element : int);

Inserts an $element to the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than or equal to the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

pop

method pop : int ();

Removes the last element and return it.

Exceptions:

The length of $list must be greater than 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

push

method push : void ($element : int);

Adds an $element after the end of the list.

remove

method remove : int ($index : int);

Removes the element at the position of $index and return it.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

replace

method replace : void ($offset : int, $remove_length : int, $replace : byte[]);

Replaces the elements of the range specified by $offset and $length with $replace array.

Exceptions:

$offset must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$remove_length must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$offset + $removing length must be less than or equal to the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

reserve

method reserve : void ($new_capacity : int);

Reserves the elements with $new_capacity.

If $new_capacity is greater than the capacity of the list, the capacity of the list is extended to $new_capacity.

Exceptions:

$new_capacity must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

resize

method resize : void ($new_length : int);

Resizes the list with $new_length.

Exceptions:

$new_length must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

set

method set : void ($index : int, $element : int);

Sets $element at the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than the length of $list.

shift

method shift : int ();

Removes the first element and return it.

Exceptions:

The length of $list must be greater than 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

to_array

method to_array : byte[] ();

Creates a new array with the length of the list and copies all elements of the list into the new array, and returns it.

get_array_unsafe

method get_array_unsafe : byte[] ();

Gets the internally array.

This array is unsafe because it continues to point to the old array if the internal array is extended.

unshift

method unshift : void ($element : int);

Inserts an $element at the beginning of the list.
