Integer类中的缓存Cache

Integer 类将 [-128-127] 这256个数字实例化了，也就是说用 Integer 来实例化其中某个数都是直接调用缓存中的实例，创建的多个实例都是同一个。 

下面这个Demo 能够很好的说明这个问题：

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Integer int1 = Integer.valueOf("100");
        Integer int2 = Integer.valueOf("100");
        System.out.println(int1 == int2); //  return true
    }
}

我们看一下JDK 中Integer 类的源码：

public static Integer valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
        return Integer.valueOf(parseInt(s, 10));
    }

public static Integer valueOf(int i) {
        if (i >= IntegerCache.low && i <= IntegerCache.high)
            return IntegerCache.cache[i + (-IntegerCache.low)];
        return new Integer(i);
    }

在解析时调用了IntegerCache这个类，这个类时Integer的一个内部静态类，用来缓存 [-128-127]  这些数字。

 /**
     * Cache to support the object identity semantics of autoboxing for values between
     * -128 and 127 (inclusive) as required by JLS.
     *
     * The cache is initialized on first usage.  The size of the cache
     * may be controlled by the {@code -XX:AutoBoxCacheMax=<size>} option.
     * During VM initialization, java.lang.Integer.IntegerCache.high property
     * may be set and saved in the private system properties in the
     * sun.misc.VM class.
     */

    private static class IntegerCache {
        static final int low = -128;
        static final int high;
        static final Integer cache[];

        static {
            // high value may be configured by property
            int h = 127;
            String integerCacheHighPropValue =
                sun.misc.VM.getSavedProperty("java.lang.Integer.IntegerCache.high");
            if (integerCacheHighPropValue != null) {
                try {
                    int i = parseInt(integerCacheHighPropValue);
                    i = Math.max(i, 127);
                    // Maximum array size is Integer.MAX_VALUE
                    h = Math.min(i, Integer.MAX_VALUE - (-low) -1);
                } catch( NumberFormatException nfe) {
                    // If the property cannot be parsed into an int, ignore it.
                }
            }
            high = h;

            cache = new Integer[(high - low) + 1];
            int j = low;
            for(int k = 0; k < cache.length; k++)
                cache[k] = new Integer(j++);

            // range [-128, 127] must be interned (JLS7 5.1.7)
            assert IntegerCache.high >= 127;
        }

        private IntegerCache() {}
    }

IntegerCache 对缓存数字的 high 值的上限做了一个调整，允许我们自行设置范围的上限。

对于Long类、Short类，JDK同样做了缓存操作，区别在于他们不能调整 high值。

private static class LongCache {
        private LongCache(){}

        static final Long cache[] = new Long[-(-128) + 127 + 1];

        static {
            for(int i = 0; i < cache.length; i++)
                cache[i] = new Long(i - 128);
        }
    }
