深入分析 LinkedList 源码和核心原理

 2022-09-28

概述

LinkedList 同时实现了List 接口和 Deque 接口,也就是说它既可以看作一个顺序容器,又可以看作一个队列( Queue ),同时又可以看作一个栈( Stack )。这样看来, LinkedList 简直就是个全能冠军。当你需要使用栈或者队列时,可以考虑使用 LinkedList *,一方面是因为Java官方已经声明不建议使用Stack类,更遗憾的是,Java里根本没有一个叫做Queue的类(它是个接口名字)。关于栈或队列,现在的首选是ArrayDeque,它有着比LinkedList(当作栈或队列使用时)有着更好的性能。

LinkedList的实现方式决定了所有跟下标相关的操作都是线性时间,而在首段或者末尾删除元素只需要常数时间。为追求效率LinkedList没有实现同步(synchronized),如果需要多个线程并发访问,可以先采用
Collections.synchronizedList()方法对其进行包装。

LinkedLists实现

底层数据结构

LinkedList底层 通过双向链表实现 ,本节将着重讲解插入和删除元素时双向链表的维护过程,也即是之间解跟List接口相关的函数,而将QueueStack 以及 Deque 相关的也会说。双向链表的每个节点用内部类Node表示。LinkedList通过first和last引用分别指向链表的第一个和最后一个元素。注意这里没有所谓的哑元,当链表为空的时候first和last都指向null。

    transient int size = 0;
    
        /**
         * Pointer to first node.
         * Invariant: (first == null && last == null) ||
         *            (first.prev == null && first.item != null)
         */
        transient Node<E> first;
    
        /**
         * Pointer to last node.
         * Invariant: (first == null && last == null) ||
         *            (last.next == null && last.item != null)
         */
        transient Node<E> last;

其中Node是私有的内部类:

        private static class Node<E> {
            E item;
            Node<E> next;
            Node<E> prev;
    
            Node(Node<E> prev, E element, Node<E> next) {
                this.item = element;
                this.next = next;
                this.prev = prev;
            }
        }

构造函数

        /**
         * Constructs an empty list.
         */
        public LinkedList() {
        }
    
        /**
         * Constructs a list containing the elements of the specified
         * collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's
         * iterator.
         *
         * @param  c the collection whose elements are to be placed into this list
         * @throws NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
         */
        public LinkedList(Collection<? extends E> c) {
            this();
            addAll(c);
        }

getFirst(), getLast()

获取第一个元素, 和获取最后一个元素:

        /**
         * Returns the first element in this list.
         *
         * @return the first element in this list
         * @throws NoSuchElementException if this list is empty
         */
        public E getFirst() {
            final Node<E> f = first;
            if (f == null)
                throw new NoSuchElementException();
            return f.item;
        }
    
        /**
         * Returns the last element in this list.
         *
         * @return the last element in this list
         * @throws NoSuchElementException if this list is empty
         */
        public E getLast() {
            final Node<E> l = last;
            if (l == null)
                throw new NoSuchElementException();
            return l.item;
        }

removeFirst(), removeLast(), remove(e), remove(index)

remove()方法也有两个版本,一个是删除跟指定元素相等的第一个元素remove(Object o),另一个是删除指定下标处的元素remove(int index)。

删除元素 - 指的是删除第一次出现的这个元素, 如果没有这个元素,则返回false;判断的依据是equals方法, 如果equals,则直接unlink这个node;由于LinkedList可存放null元素,故也可以删除第一次出现null的元素;

        /**
         * Removes the first occurrence of the specified element from this list,
         * if it is present.  If this list does not contain the element, it is
         * unchanged.  More formally, removes the element with the lowest index
         * {@code i} such that
         * <tt>(o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i)))</tt>
         * (if such an element exists).  Returns {@code true} if this list
         * contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this list
         * changed as a result of the call).
         *
         * @param o element to be removed from this list, if present
         * @return {@code true} if this list contained the specified element
         */
        public boolean remove(Object o) {
            if (o == null) {
                for (Node<E> x = first; x != null; x = x.next) {
                    if (x.item == null) {
                        unlink(x);
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            } else {
                for (Node<E> x = first; x != null; x = x.next) {
                    if (o.equals(x.item)) {
                        unlink(x);
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
        
        /**
         * Unlinks non-null node x.
         */
        E unlink(Node<E> x) {
            // assert x != null;
            final E element = x.item;
            final Node<E> next = x.next;
            final Node<E> prev = x.prev;
    
            if (prev == null) {// 第一个元素
                first = next;
            } else {
                prev.next = next;
                x.prev = null;
            }
    
            if (next == null) {// 最后一个元素
                last = prev;
            } else {
                next.prev = prev;
                x.next = null;
            }
    
            x.item = null; // GC
            size--;
            modCount++;
            return element;
        }

remove(int index)使用的是下标计数, 只需要判断该index是否有元素即可,如果有则直接unlink这个node。

        /**
         * Removes the element at the specified position in this list.  Shifts any
         * subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices).
         * Returns the element that was removed from the list.
         *
         * @param index the index of the element to be removed
         * @return the element previously at the specified position
         * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public E remove(int index) {
            checkElementIndex(index);
            return unlink(node(index));
        }

删除head元素:

        /**
         * Removes and returns the first element from this list.
         *
         * @return the first element from this list
         * @throws NoSuchElementException if this list is empty
         */
        public E removeFirst() {
            final Node<E> f = first;
            if (f == null)
                throw new NoSuchElementException();
            return unlinkFirst(f);
        }
    
    
        /**
         * Unlinks non-null first node f.
         */
        private E unlinkFirst(Node<E> f) {
            // assert f == first && f != null;
            final E element = f.item;
            final Node<E> next = f.next;
            f.item = null;
            f.next = null; // help GC
            first = next;
            if (next == null)
                last = null;
            else
                next.prev = null;
            size--;
            modCount++;
            return element;
        }

删除last元素:

    	/**
         * Removes and returns the last element from this list.
         *
         * @return the last element from this list
         * @throws NoSuchElementException if this list is empty
         */
        public E removeLast() {
            final Node<E> l = last;
            if (l == null)
                throw new NoSuchElementException();
            return unlinkLast(l);
        }
        
        /**
         * Unlinks non-null last node l.
         */
        private E unlinkLast(Node<E> l) {
            // assert l == last && l != null;
            final E element = l.item;
            final Node<E> prev = l.prev;
            l.item = null;
            l.prev = null; // help GC
            last = prev;
            if (prev == null)
                first = null;
            else
                prev.next = null;
            size--;
            modCount++;
            return element;
        }

add()

add()方法有两个版本,一个是add(E e),该方法在LinkedList的末尾插入元素,因为有last指向链表末尾,在末尾插入元素的花费是常数时间。只需要简单修改几个相关引用即可;另一个是add(int index, E element),该方法是在指定下表处插入元素,需要先通过线性查找找到具体位置,然后修改相关引用完成插入操作。

        /**
         * Appends the specified element to the end of this list.
         *
         * <p>This method is equivalent to {@link #addLast}.
         *
         * @param e element to be appended to this list
         * @return {@code true} (as specified by {@link Collection#add})
         */
        public boolean add(E e) {
            linkLast(e);
            return true;
        }
        
        /**
         * Links e as last element.
         */
        void linkLast(E e) {
            final Node<E> l = last;
            final Node<E> newNode = new Node<>(l, e, null);
            last = newNode;
            if (l == null)
                first = newNode;
            else
                l.next = newNode;
            size++;
            modCount++;
        }

add(int index, E element), 当index==size时,等同于add(E e); 如果不是,则分两步: 1.先根据index找到要插入的位置,即node(index)方法;2.修改引用,完成插入操作。

        /**
         * Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this list.
         * Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any
         * subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).
         *
         * @param index index at which the specified element is to be inserted
         * @param element element to be inserted
         * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public void add(int index, E element) {
            checkPositionIndex(index);
    
            if (index == size)
                linkLast(element);
            else
                linkBefore(element, node(index));
        }

上面代码中的node(int index)函数有一点小小的trick,因为链表双向的,可以从开始往后找,也可以从结尾往前找,具体朝那个方向找取决于条件index < (size >> 1),也即是index是靠近前端还是后端。从这里也可以看出,linkedList通过index检索元素的效率没有arrayList高。

        /**
         * Returns the (non-null) Node at the specified element index.
         */
        Node<E> node(int index) {
            // assert isElementIndex(index);
    
            if (index < (size >> 1)) {
                Node<E> x = first;
                for (int i = 0; i < index; i++)
                    x = x.next;
                return x;
            } else {
                Node<E> x = last;
                for (int i = size - 1; i > index; i--)
                    x = x.prev;
                return x;
            }
        }

addAll()

addAll(index, c) 实现方式并不是直接调用add(index,e)来实现,主要是因为效率的问题,另一个是fail-fast中modCount只会增加1次;

        /**
         * Appends all of the elements in the specified collection to the end of
         * this list, in the order that they are returned by the specified
         * collection's iterator.  The behavior of this operation is undefined if
         * the specified collection is modified while the operation is in
         * progress.  (Note that this will occur if the specified collection is
         * this list, and it's nonempty.)
         *
         * @param c collection containing elements to be added to this list
         * @return {@code true} if this list changed as a result of the call
         * @throws NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
         */
        public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> c) {
            return addAll(size, c);
        }
    
        /**
         * Inserts all of the elements in the specified collection into this
         * list, starting at the specified position.  Shifts the element
         * currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to
         * the right (increases their indices).  The new elements will appear
         * in the list in the order that they are returned by the
         * specified collection's iterator.
         *
         * @param index index at which to insert the first element
         *              from the specified collection
         * @param c collection containing elements to be added to this list
         * @return {@code true} if this list changed as a result of the call
         * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
         * @throws NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
         */
        public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c) {
            checkPositionIndex(index);
    
            Object[] a = c.toArray();
            int numNew = a.length;
            if (numNew == 0)
                return false;
    
            Node<E> pred, succ;
            if (index == size) {
                succ = null;
                pred = last;
            } else {
                succ = node(index);
                pred = succ.prev;
            }
    
            for (Object o : a) {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") E e = (E) o;
                Node<E> newNode = new Node<>(pred, e, null);
                if (pred == null)
                    first = newNode;
                else
                    pred.next = newNode;
                pred = newNode;
            }
    
            if (succ == null) {
                last = pred;
            } else {
                pred.next = succ;
                succ.prev = pred;
            }
    
            size += numNew;
            modCount++;
            return true;
        }

clear()

为了让GC更快可以回收放置的元素,需要将node之间的引用关系赋空。

        /**
         * Removes all of the elements from this list.
         * The list will be empty after this call returns.
         */
        public void clear() {
            // Clearing all of the links between nodes is "unnecessary", but:
            // - helps a generational GC if the discarded nodes inhabit
            //   more than one generation
            // - is sure to free memory even if there is a reachable Iterator
            for (Node<E> x = first; x != null; ) {
                Node<E> next = x.next;
                x.item = null;
                x.next = null;
                x.prev = null;
                x = next;
            }
            first = last = null;
            size = 0;
            modCount++;
        }

Positional Access 方法

通过index获取元素

        /**
         * Returns the element at the specified position in this list.
         *
         * @param index index of the element to return
         * @return the element at the specified position in this list
         * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public E get(int index) {
            checkElementIndex(index);
            return node(index).item;
        }

将某个位置的元素重新赋值:

        /**
         * Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the
         * specified element.
         *
         * @param index index of the element to replace
         * @param element element to be stored at the specified position
         * @return the element previously at the specified position
         * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public E set(int index, E element) {
            checkElementIndex(index);
            Node<E> x = node(index);
            E oldVal = x.item;
            x.item = element;
            return oldVal;
        }

将元素插入到指定index位置:

        /**
         * Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this list.
         * Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any
         * subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).
         *
         * @param index index at which the specified element is to be inserted
         * @param element element to be inserted
         * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public void add(int index, E element) {
            checkPositionIndex(index);
    
            if (index == size)
                linkLast(element);
            else
                linkBefore(element, node(index));
        }

删除指定位置的元素:

        /**
         * Removes the element at the specified position in this list.  Shifts any
         * subsequent elements to the left (subtracts one from their indices).
