StringBuffer经典面试题

    @Test
    public void test(){
        String str = null;
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        sb.append(str);
        System.out.println(sb.length());
        System.out.println(sb);
        StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer(str);
        System.out.println(sb1);
    }

运行结果：

1. 分析:sb.append(null);

 当传入null时会调用appenNull()方法创建了一个length = 4 的char[]。

    public AbstractStringBuilder append(String str) {
        if (str == null)
            return appendNull();
        int len = str.length();
        ensureCapacityInternal(count + len);
        str.getChars(0, len, value, count);
        count += len;
        return this;
    }

    private AbstractStringBuilder appendNull() {
        int c = count;
        ensureCapacityInternal(c + 4);
        final char[] value = this.value;
        value[c++] = 'n';
        value[c++] = 'u';
        value[c++] = 'l';
        value[c++] = 'l';
        count = c;
        return this;
    }

 2. StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer(str);
        System.out.println(sb1);//空指针异常。

原因:

  public StringBuffer(String str) {
        super(str.length() + 16);
        append(str);
    }

  strr.length -> null.length :空指针异常.
