Iterator迭代器是java的一个接口,这是在JDK1.8的源代码,其中包含boolean hasNext()
,E next()
,default void remove()
,default void forEachRemaining(Consumer<? super E> action)
四个方法,两个已经是default关键字修饰的实现。
package java.util;
import java.util.function.Consumer;
public interface Iterator<E> {
boolean hasNext();
E next();
default void remove() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("remove");
}
/**
* @since 1.8
*/
default void forEachRemaining(Consumer<? super E> action) {
Objects.requireNonNull(action);
while (hasNext())
action.accept(next());
}
}
注意:在默认实现里,迭代器不支持删除。如果需要支持,需要自己实现。例如在LinkedList里边,源代码如下:
private class ListItr implements ListIterator<E> {
private Node<E> lastReturned;
private Node<E> next;
private int nextIndex;
private int expectedModCount = modCount;
//...
public boolean hasNext() {
return nextIndex < size;
}
public E next() {
checkForComodification();
if (!hasNext())
throw new NoSuchElementException();
lastReturned = next;
next = next.next;
nextIndex++;
return lastReturned.item;
}
public void remove() {
checkForComodification();
if (lastReturned == null)
throw new IllegalStateException();
Node<E> lastNext = lastReturned.next;
unlink(lastReturned);
if (next == lastReturned)
next = lastNext;
else
nextIndex--;
lastReturned = null;
expectedModCount++;
}
public void set(E e) {
if (lastReturned == null)
throw new IllegalStateException();
checkForComodification();
lastReturned.item = e;
}
public void add(E e) {
checkForComodification();
lastReturned = null;
if (next == null)
linkLast(e);
else
linkBefore(e, next);
nextIndex++;
expectedModCount++;
}
public void forEachRemaining(Consumer<? super E> action) {
Objects.requireNonNull(action);
while (modCount == expectedModCount && nextIndex < size) {
action.accept(next.item);
lastReturned = next;
next = next.next;
nextIndex++;
}
checkForComodification();
}
final void checkForComodification() {
if (modCount != expectedModCount)
throw new ConcurrentModificationException();
}
}
下面是网上的其他解释,更能从本质上解释原因:
Iterator 是工作在一个独立的线程中,并且拥有一个 mutex 锁。 Iterator 被创建之后会建立一个指向原来对象的单链索引表,当原来的对象数量发生变化时,这个索引表的内容不会同步改变,所以当索引指针往后移动的时候就找不到要迭代的对象,所以按照 fail-fast 原则 Iterator 会马上抛出 java.util.ConcurrentModificationException 异常。
所以 Iterator 在工作的时候是不允许被迭代的对象被改变的。但你可以使用 Iterator 本身的方法 remove() 来删除对象, Iterator.remove() 方法会在删除当前迭代对象的同时维护索引的一致性。
