String.slpit()方法对空字符串的处理

今天使用split()方法时，发现对于空字符串有丢弃的现象，充满好奇心的我就测试了一下

String test = ",1,,2,3,4,,,,";
String[] tests = test.split(",");
 for (int i = 0; i < tests.length; i++) {
     System.out.print(tests[i]);
     if (i!=tests.length-1){
         System.out.print(",");
     }
 }

输出结果

,1,,2,3,4

可以发现开头，中间的空字符串不会被丢弃，结尾的1~n个空字符串会被丢弃

ctrl+b跳到方法中看看

public String[] split(String regex) {
        return split(regex, 0);
}

返回的是两个参数的split()方法的结果,继续跳

public String[] split(String regex, int limit) {
        /* fastpath if the regex is a
         (1)one-char String and this character is not one of the
            RegEx's meta characters ".$|()[{^?*+\\", or
         (2)two-char String and the first char is the backslash and
            the second is not the ascii digit or ascii letter.
         */
        char ch = 0;
        if (((regex.value.length == 1 &&
             ".$|()[{^?*+\\".indexOf(ch = regex.charAt(0)) == -1) ||
             (regex.length() == 2 &&
              regex.charAt(0) == '\\' &&
              (((ch = regex.charAt(1))-'0')|('9'-ch)) < 0 &&
              ((ch-'a')|('z'-ch)) < 0 &&
              ((ch-'A')|('Z'-ch)) < 0)) &&
            (ch < Character.MIN_HIGH_SURROGATE ||
             ch > Character.MAX_LOW_SURROGATE))
        {
            int off = 0;
            int next = 0;
            boolean limited = limit > 0;
            ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
            while ((next = indexOf(ch, off)) != -1) {
                if (!limited || list.size() < limit - 1) {
                    list.add(substring(off, next));
                    off = next + 1;
                } else {    // last one
                    //assert (list.size() == limit - 1);
                    list.add(substring(off, value.length));
                    off = value.length;
                    break;
                }
            }
            // If no match was found, return this
            if (off == 0)
                return new String[]{this};

            // Add remaining segment
            if (!limited || list.size() < limit)
                list.add(substring(off, value.length));

            // Construct result
            int resultSize = list.size();
            if (limit == 0) {
                while (resultSize > 0 && list.get(resultSize - 1).length() == 0) {
                    resultSize--;
                }
            }
            String[] result = new String[resultSize];
            return list.subList(0, resultSize).toArray(result);
        }
        return Pattern.compile(regex).split(this, limit);
    }

一大段的看不懂，但找到原因所在了

//list长度是分隔符分割后的真正长度
int resultSize = list.size();
if (limit == 0) {
	//如果list最后一个元素长度为0，resultSize就减一，所以对字符串前和中间的无影响
    while (resultSize > 0 && list.get(resultSize - 1).length() == 0) {
        resultSize--;
    }
}
//返回的Array长度与减后的resultSize相同
String[] result = new String[resultSize];
return list.subList(0, resultSize).toArray(result);

经尝试，split(regex,limit)中limit参数只要不传0，就不会把最后的空字符串丢弃（等以后看懂了再更新吧）
