operation. Sample Usage. The following code sketch uses a copy-on-write set to maintain a set of Handler objects that perform some action upon state updates.
class Handler { void handle() { ... } }
class X {
private final CopyOnWriteArraySet<Handler> handlers
= new CopyOnWriteArraySet<>();
public void addHandler(Handler h) { handlers.add(h); }
private long internalState;
private synchronized void changeState() { internalState = ...; }
public void update() {
changeState();
for (Handler handler : handlers)
handler.handle();
}
}
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this set. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this set 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.

public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
If this set fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this set), the element in the array immediately following the end of the set is set to null
. (This is useful in determining the length of this set only if the caller knows that this set does not contain any null elements.)
If this set makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.
Like the 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 set known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the set 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()

The returned iterator provides a snapshot of the state of the set when the iterator was constructed. No synchronization is needed while traversing the iterator. The iterator does NOT support the remove
method.
public boolean equals(Object o)
true
if the specified object is the same object as this object, or if it is also a Set
and the elements returned by an iterator over the specified set are the same as the elements returned by an iterator over this set. More formally, the two iterators are considered to return the same elements if they return the same number of elements and for every element e1
returned by the iterator over the specified set, there is an element e2
returned by the iterator over this set such that Objects.equals(e1, e2)

Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller. The behavior of this method is unspecified if the action performs side-effects that modify the underlying source of elements, unless an overriding class has specified a concurrent modification policy.
