System.arraycopy数组复制函数

在类：org.springframework.security.authentication.encoding.LdapShaPasswordEncoder里面有个combineHashAndSalt函数使用了System.arraycopy的这个系统方法把两个byte数组组合成一个数组。

private byte[] combineHashAndSalt(byte[] hash, byte[] salt) {
        if (salt == null) {
            return hash;
        }

        byte[] hashAndSalt = new byte[hash.length + salt.length];
        System.arraycopy(hash, 0, hashAndSalt, 0, hash.length);
        System.arraycopy(salt, 0, hashAndSalt, hash.length, salt.length);

        return hashAndSalt;
    }

System.arraycopy是一个static native底层方法:

/**
     * @param      src      the source array.
     * @param      srcPos   starting position in the source array.
     * @param      dest     the destination array.
     * @param      destPos  starting position in the destination data.
     * @param      length   the number of array elements to be copied.
     * @exception  IndexOutOfBoundsException  if copying would cause
     *               access of data outside array bounds.
     * @exception  ArrayStoreException  if an element in the <code>src</code>
     *               array could not be stored into the <code>dest</code> array
     *               because of a type mismatch.
     * @exception  NullPointerException if either <code>src</code> or
     *               <code>dest</code> is <code>null</code>.
     */
    public static native void arraycopy(Object src,  int  srcPos,
                                        Object dest, int destPos,
                                        int length);

src:源数组； srcPos:源数组要复制的起始位置；
dest:目的数组； destPos:目的数组放置的起始位置；
length:复制的长度。
注意：src and dest都必须是同类型或者可以进行转换类型的数组。
