Class BufferedIterator

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--net.sf.saffron.runtime.BufferedIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Enumeration, Iterable, Iterator

public class BufferedIterator

extends Object

implements Iterator, Iterable, Enumeration

BufferedIterator converts a regular iterator into one which implements Iterable (and Enumeration for good measure).

Implementation note: The first time you read from it, it duplicates objects into a list. The next time, it creates an iterator from that list. The implementation handles infinite iterators gracefully: it copies objects onto the replay list only when they are requested for the first time.

hasMoreElements in interface Enumeration

public boolean hasNext()

Specified by:

hasNext in interface Iterator

iterator

public Iterator iterator()

Description copied from interface: Iterable

Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection. There are no guarantees over the order in which the elements are returned.

If this method is called twice on the same object, and the object is not modified in between times, the iterators produced may or may not be the same iterator, and may or may not return the elements in the same order, but must return the same objects.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable

next in interface Iterator

nextElement

public Object nextElement()

Specified by:

nextElement in interface Enumeration

remove
