This is a fork of HPPC from CarrotSearch, see JavaDoc and documentation at: https://github.com/carrotsearch/hppc/wiki for more info.

IMPORTANT: Developers - read INSTALL.txt file for proper Eclipse setup and requirements.

This fork intend to follow the original HPPC as close as possible while adding, tweaking, and even modifiying some features, for the goal of improving HPPC realtime behaviour. Most of the internal modifications were done to effectively remove any temporary Objects creation at runtime, provided the containers are correctly pre-sized initially.

• Tweaked internal implementation to remove any allocation of temporary Objects at runtime.

• Ability to pre-allocate any container with a strong guarantee to neither reallocate, nor generating garbage as long as the container have less than capacity() elements.

• Pooled, recyclable iterators: ability to use iterators the usual way, without creating iterator instances dynamically at runtime. That means in particular using the enhanced for loop without any dynamic allocation underneath.

• Primitive and Objects in-place array sorts, similar to java.util.Arrays with Comparable and Comparator versions.

• [Object|primitives]Arrays as a complement of java.util.Arrays for in-place buffer manipulation : reverse, rotate...etc.

• Double-linked lists, supporting all operations common to lists and dequeues, with rich bi-directional iterating methods.

• Dedicated in-place sort methods for ArrayLists, LinkedLists, and ArrayDeques.

• Heaps : Priority queues, and Indexed (a.k.a indirect) priority queues.

• Custom default values for methods returning default values in some circumstances. (see Javadoc)

...and some general performance and API tweaks.

All these new features are heavily Unit tested, so should work well.

The Jar is compatible with Java 1.5 and have no external dependencies.
