abstract class Buffer[A] extends AnyRef

Mutable buffer of value elements.

This wraps one of the Java NIO buffer classes. Most of the Java documentation is applicable to this class.

Buffer instances are in no way synchronized and are typically used from a single fiber. Extract immutable Chunks to pass values to other fibers or via streams.

Construction

There is a concrete buffer subclass for each primitive type. There are three ways to create a buffer:

Allocation

Simply allocates a new buffer on the heap of a certain size, for example Buffer.byte(100), Buffer.char(200).

For ByteBuffer there is the special case of direct buffers, which can be constructed via Buffer.byteDirect. See the Java docs for details of the advantages and disadvantages of direct byte buffers.

Wrapping

Buffers can wrap existing Java buffers, or ZIO Chunks. Care must be taken when wrapping Java buffers that the wrapped buffer is not subsequently modified; these objects are typically wrapped to provide efficient interoperability with Java APIs.

A CharBuffer can also wrap any java.lang.CharSequence.

Views

While ByteBuffers are created via allocation or wrapping, the other buffer types are more commonly constructed as a view over a ByteBuffer. Each numeric buffer class supports either big-endian or little-endian byte order as required.

View buffers are constructed via the various asXXX methods on the zio.nio.ByteBuffer class, for example:

val ints(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[IntBuffer] = bytes.asIntBuffer

Changes to made via view buffers are reflected in the original ByteBuffer and vice-versa.

Differences from Java

The Java API supports "invocation chaining", which does not work with effect values. The Java example:

b.flip().position(23).limit(42)

is typically written:

for {
  _ <- b.flip
  _ <- b.position(23)
  _ <- b.limit(42)
} yield ()

or in cases like this when the intermediate values aren't used:

b.flip *> b.position(23) *> b.limit(42)

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def array(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Array[A]]
    Attributes
    protected[nio]
  2. abstract def asReadOnlyBuffer(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Buffer[A]]

    Creates a read-only view of this buffer.

  3. abstract val buffer: java.nio.Buffer
    Attributes
    protected[nio]
  4. abstract def compact(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Unit]

    Compacts this buffer (optional operation).

    Compacts this buffer (optional operation). The bytes between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the byte at index p = position() is copied to index 0, the byte at index p + 1 is copied to index 1, and so forth until the byte at index limit() - 1 is copied to index n = limit() - 1 - p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.

    The buffer's position is set to the number of bytes copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.

    Invoke this method after writing data from a buffer in case the write was incomplete.

    Dies with ReadOnlyBufferException if this buffer is read-only.

  5. abstract def duplicate(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Buffer[A]]

    Creates a new buffer that shares this buffer's content.

    Creates a new buffer that shares this buffer's content. The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

    The new buffer's capacity, limit, position, and mark values will be identical to those of this buffer.

  6. abstract def get(i: Int)(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[A]

    Absolute get of a single element.

    Absolute get of a single element. Reads the element at the given index. The position does not change.

    Dies with IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is negative or not smaller than the limit.

  7. abstract def get(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[A]

    Relative get of a single element.

    Relative get of a single element. Reads the element at the position and increments the position.

    Dies with BufferUnderflowException If there are no elements remaining.

  8. abstract def getChunk(maxLength: Int = Int.MaxValue)(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Chunk[A]]

    Relative get of multiple elements.

    Relative get of multiple elements.

    Reads up to the specified number of elements from the current position. If fewer than maxLength elements are remaining, then all the remaining elements are read. The position is incremented by the number of elements read.

    maxLength

    Defaults to Int.MaxValue, meaning all remaining elements will be read.

  9. abstract def order(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[ByteOrder]

    The byte order used for reading multiple byte values.

    The byte order used for reading multiple byte values.

    Also the byte order used any view buffers created from this buffer.

  10. abstract def put(index: Int, element: A)(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Unit]

    Absolute put of a single element.

    Absolute put of a single element. Writes the element at the specified index. The position does not change.

    Dies with IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is negative or not smaller than the limit. Dies with ReadOnlyBufferException if this is a read-only buffer.

  11. abstract def put(element: A)(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Unit]

    Relative put of a single element.

    Relative put of a single element. Writes the element at the position and increments the position.

    Dies with BufferOverflowException if there are no elements remaining. Dies with ReadOnlyBufferException if this is a read-only buffer.

  12. abstract def putChunkAll(chunk: Chunk[A])(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Unit]

    Tries to put an entire chunk in this buffer, possibly overflowing.

    Tries to put an entire chunk in this buffer, possibly overflowing.

    putChunk is a safe public variant of this that won't overflow.

    Attributes
    protected
  13. abstract def slice(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Buffer[A]]

    Creates a new buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.

    Creates a new buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content. The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

    The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer.

  6. final def clear(implicit trace: Trace): UIO[Unit]

    Clears this buffer.

    Clears this buffer. The position is set to zero, the limit is set to the capacity, and the mark is discarded. No values in the buffer are actually cleared, but this is typically used before putting new values into a buffer, after all its contents have been processed.

    If the buffer's current values have not been completely processed, then the compact method may be more appropriate.

    Perform effects using this buffer's underlying array directly.

    Perform effects using this buffer's underlying array directly. Because only some buffers are backed by arrays, two cases must be handled. Ideally, the same result is produced in each case, with the hasArray variant just being more efficient.

    For the hasArray case, the function is provided the backing array itself and an offset within that array which contains the first element of this buffer. Elements in the array before the offset are not contained in this buffer.

    noArray

    The effect to perform if this buffer is not backed by an array.

    hasArray

    The effect to perform if this buffer is backed by an array.
