Class NIOByteBufferProvider

java.lang.Object

loci.common.NIOByteBufferProvider

public class NIOByteBufferProvider
extends Object

Provides a facade to byte buffer allocation that enables FileChannel.map() usage on platforms where it's unlikely to give us problems and heap allocation where it is. References:

Constructor Detail

NIOByteBufferProvider

public NIOByteBufferProvider(FileChannel channel,
                     FileChannel.MapMode mapMode)

Default constructor.

Parameters:

channel - File channel to allocate or map byte buffers from.

mapMode - The map mode. Required but only used if memory mapped I/O is to occur.

Method Detail

allocate

public ByteBuffer allocate(long bufferStartPosition,
                  int newSize)
                    throws IOException

Allocates or maps the desired file data into memory.

Parameters:

bufferStartPosition - The absolute position of the start of the buffer.

newSize - The buffer size.

Returns:

A newly allocated or mapped NIO byte buffer.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an issue mapping, aligning or allocating the buffer.

allocateDirect

protected ByteBuffer allocateDirect(long bufferStartPosition,
                        int newSize)
                             throws IOException

Allocates memory and copies the desired file data into it.

Parameters:

bufferStartPosition - The absolute position of the start of the buffer.

newSize - The buffer size.

Returns:

A newly allocated NIO byte buffer.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an issue aligning or allocating the buffer.

allocateMappedByteBuffer

protected ByteBuffer allocateMappedByteBuffer(long bufferStartPosition,
                                  int newSize)
                                       throws IOException

Memory maps the desired file data into memory.

Parameters:

bufferStartPosition - The absolute position of the start of the buffer.

newSize - The buffer size.

Returns:

A newly mapped NIO byte buffer.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an issue mapping, aligning or allocating the buffer.
