String之intern()方法

intern方法本质上来源于JVM的运行时常量池。具有动态特性，并不一定需要常量编译时才能产生，运行期间也可以把常量放入常量池。

intern 返回的是字符串对象的规范化表示形式，当调用 intern 方法时，如果常量池已经包含一个等于此 String 对象的字符串（该对象由 equals(Object) 方法确定），则返回池中的字符串。否则，将此 String 对象添加到池中，并且返回此 String 对象的引用。

package test;

public class test {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String a = "12345";
		String b = "12345";
		System.out.println(a == b);
		String c = "basy";
		String d = new String("basy").intern();
		String d2 = new String("basy");
		System.out.println(c == d);
		System.out.println(c == d2);
		String s1 = "123";
		String s2 = new String("123");
		System.out.println(s1 == s2);
		String s3 = s2.intern();
		System.out.println(s1 == s3);
	}

}

结果：

true
true
false
false
true

 /**
     * Returns a canonical representation for the string object.
     * <p>
     * A pool of strings, initially empty, is maintained privately by the
     * class {@code String}.
     * <p>
     * When the intern method is invoked, if the pool already contains a
     * string equal to this {@code String} object as determined by
     * the {@link #equals(Object)} method, then the string from the pool is
     * returned. Otherwise, this {@code String} object is added to the
     * pool and a reference to this {@code String} object is returned.
     * <p>
     * It follows that for any two strings {@code s} and {@code t},
     * {@code s.intern() == t.intern()} is {@code true}
     * if and only if {@code s.equals(t)} is {@code true}.
     * <p>
     * All literal strings and string-valued constant expressions are
     * interned. String literals are defined in section 3.10.5 of the
     * <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>.
     *
     * @return  a string that has the same contents as this string, but is
     *          guaranteed to be from a pool of unique strings.
