1.Vector
Vector和ArrayList都是通过数组来构建顺序列表的数据结构,其关系同HashMap与HashTable一样,Vector是一个线程安全的数据结构,而ArrayList是非线程安全的,因此在不考虑多线程的情况下,ArrayList比Vector速度更加的快,在考虑线程安全的情况下,ArrayList提供了SynchronizedList类来保证线程安全,其访问速度同Vector没有太大差别,只不过Vector是synchronized(this)来保证线程安全,而SynchronizedList是通过synchronized(mutex)对象来保证。因此也Vector也可以被废弃(这个并不是因为性能原因)
public class Collections {
// Suppresses default constructor, ensuring non-instantiability.
private Collections() {
}
public static <T> List<T> synchronizedList(List<T> list) {
return (list instanceof RandomAccess ?
new SynchronizedRandomAccessList<>(list) :
new SynchronizedList<>(list));
}
static class SynchronizedList<E>
extends SynchronizedCollection<E>
implements List<E> {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -7754090372962971524L;
final List<E> list;
SynchronizedList(List<E> list) {
super(list);
this.list = list;
}
SynchronizedList(List<E> list, Object mutex) {
super(list, mutex);
this.list = list;
}
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o)
return true;
synchronized (mutex) {return list.equals(o);}
}
public int hashCode() {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.hashCode();}
}
public E get(int index) {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.get(index);}
}
public E set(int index, E element) {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.set(index, element);}
}
public void add(int index, E element) {
synchronized (mutex) {list.add(index, element);}
}
public E remove(int index) {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.remove(index);}
}
public int indexOf(Object o) {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.indexOf(o);}
}
public int lastIndexOf(Object o) {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.lastIndexOf(o);}
}
public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c) {
synchronized (mutex) {return list.addAll(index, c);}
}
public ListIterator<E> listIterator() {
return list.listIterator(); // Must be manually synched by user
}
public ListIterator<E> listIterator(int index) {
return list.listIterator(index); // Must be manually synched by user
}
public List<E> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex) {
synchronized (mutex) {
return new SynchronizedList<>(list.subList(fromIndex, toIndex),
mutex);
}
}
private Object readResolve() {
return (list instanceof RandomAccess
? new SynchronizedRandomAccessList<>(list)
: this);
}
}
}
2.Vector与ArrayList的差异性
1) Vector的方法都是同步的(Synchronized),是线程安全的(thread-safe),而ArrayList的方法不是,由于线程的同步必然要影响性能,因此,ArrayList的性能比Vector好。
2) 当Vector或ArrayList中的元素超过它的初始大小时,Vector会将它的容量翻倍,而ArrayList只增加50%的大小,这样,ArrayList就有利于节约内存空间。
