ej.hrt.IntBuffer

public class IntBuffer
extends java.lang.Object

HRT tasks can share data through IntBuffer instances.
An IntBuffer is a structure that contains a limited number of integers. These elements are ordered in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) manner.

public IntBuffer(Monitor lock,
                 int size,
                 int policy)

Constructs an IntBuffer initialized with a buffer of size elements.

Parameters:

lock - monitor used to synchronize accesses to the buffer.

size - maximum number of integer that can be stored in the buffer.

policy - DROP_OLDEST_ON_FULL_POLICY or SKIP_DATA_ON_FULL_POLICY

Method Detail

add

public boolean add(int i)

Add an element in this buffer. This method is not blocking.
Behavior when this buffer is full depends on the buffer policy.

Parameters:

i - the integer to add in the buffer.

Returns:

true if the buffer was not full when adding the element, otherwise returns false.

remove

public int remove()

Remove the oldest element from this buffer and returns it.
This method is not blocking.

Returns:

the oldest element of this buffer or 0 if the buffer is empty.

available

public int available()

Returns the number of integers that are stored in this buffer.
This method may be used before calling remove() to know if buffer is empty or not.

Returns:

the number of integers that are stored in this buffer.
