上週有朋友問我ArrayList的構造函數ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c)是淺拷貝還是深拷貝，當時一下子也沒反應過來，就寫了一個單元測試驗證了一下，結果是淺拷貝，代碼如下：(淺拷貝的原理可以參考這篇文章《java淺拷貝和深拷貝》)
public void testAr(){
List<BeanDemo> beanDemos = new ArrayList<>();
BeanDemo beanDemo = new BeanDemo();
beanDemo.setName("test1");
beanDemos.add(beanDemo);
List<BeanDemo> beanDemoList = new ArrayList<>(beanDemos);
beanDemo.setName("test2");
System.out.println(beanDemoList.get(0).getName());
//結果輸出test2
}
現在深入研究一下源碼，爲什麼ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c)構造函數是淺拷貝。ArrayList構造函數源碼如下：
/**
* 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 ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c) {
elementData = c.toArray();
if ((size = elementData.length) != 0) {
// c.toArray might (incorrectly) not return Object[] (see 6260652)
if (elementData.getClass() != Object[].class)
elementData = Arrays.copyOf(elementData, size, Object[].class);
} else {
// replace with empty array.
this.elementData = EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
}
}
構造函數首先把集合類型的參數轉爲數組（ArrayList底層實現是數組，LinkedList底層實現是列表），然後調用了Arrays.copyof()方法，傳參是原始數組和拷貝數組的長度，copyof()通過獲取一個原始數組的副本，被截斷或用null填充以返回指定的長度。源碼如下，到這一步還看不出是到底是淺拷貝還是深拷貝：
public static <T,U> T[] copyOf(U[] original, int newLength, Class<? extends T[]> newType) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
T[] copy = ((Object)newType == (Object)Object[].class)
? (T[]) new Object[newLength]
: (T[]) Array.newInstance(newType.getComponentType(), newLength);
System.arraycopy(original, 0, copy, 0,
Math.min(original.length, newLength));
return copy;
}
copyof()方法中主要使用System.arraycopy()方法來實現列表拷貝，再往下查看System.arraycopy()，發現這個是一個原生native的函數（native方法不是用java實現的），我只能仔細閱讀一下這個原生方法的註釋，參見文章最下方，註釋內容比較長，但第一段註釋直接告訴了我們arraycopy()方法拷貝的是數組的引用地址，所以它屬於淺拷貝：A subsequence of array components are copied from the source array referenced by <code>src</code> to the destination array referenced by <code>dest</code>.
綜上：ArrayList的構造函數ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c)是一種淺拷貝。
/**
* Copies an array from the specified source array, beginning at the
* specified position, to the specified position of the destination array.
* A subsequence of array components are copied from the source
* array referenced by <code>src</code> to the destination array
* referenced by <code>dest</code>. The number of components copied is
* equal to the <code>length</code> argument. The components at
* positions <code>srcPos</code> through
* <code>srcPos+length-1</code> in the source array are copied into
* positions <code>destPos</code> through
* <code>destPos+length-1</code>, respectively, of the destination
* array.
* <p>
* If the <code>src</code> and <code>dest</code> arguments refer to the
* same array object, then the copying is performed as if the
* components at positions <code>srcPos</code> through
* <code>srcPos+length-1</code> were first copied to a temporary
* array with <code>length</code> components and then the contents of
* the temporary array were copied into positions
* <code>destPos</code> through <code>destPos+length-1</code> of the
* destination array.
* <p>
* If <code>dest</code> is <code>null</code>, then a
* <code>NullPointerException</code> is thrown.
* <p>
* If <code>src</code> is <code>null</code>, then a
* <code>NullPointerException</code> is thrown and the destination
* array is not modified.
* <p>
* Otherwise, if any of the following is true, an
* <code>ArrayStoreException</code> is thrown and the destination is
* not modified:
* <ul>
* <li>The <code>src</code> argument refers to an object that is not an
* array.
* <li>The <code>dest</code> argument refers to an object that is not an
* array.
* <li>The <code>src</code> argument and <code>dest</code> argument refer
* to arrays whose component types are different primitive types.
* <li>The <code>src</code> argument refers to an array with a primitive
* component type and the <code>dest</code> argument refers to an array
* with a reference component type.
* <li>The <code>src</code> argument refers to an array with a reference
* component type and the <code>dest</code> argument refers to an array
* with a primitive component type.
* </ul>
* <p>
* Otherwise, if any of the following is true, an
* <code>IndexOutOfBoundsException</code> is
* thrown and the destination is not modified:
* <ul>
* <li>The <code>srcPos</code> argument is negative.
* <li>The <code>destPos</code> argument is negative.
* <li>The <code>length</code> argument is negative.
* <li><code>srcPos+length</code> is greater than
* <code>src.length</code>, the length of the source array.
* <li><code>destPos+length</code> is greater than
* <code>dest.length</code>, the length of the destination array.
* </ul>
* <p>
* Otherwise, if any actual component of the source array from
* position <code>srcPos</code> through
* <code>srcPos+length-1</code> cannot be converted to the component
* type of the destination array by assignment conversion, an
* <code>ArrayStoreException</code> is thrown. In this case, let
* <b><i>k</i></b> be the smallest nonnegative integer less than
* length such that <code>src[srcPos+</code><i>k</i><code>]</code>
* cannot be converted to the component type of the destination
* array; when the exception is thrown, source array components from
* positions <code>srcPos</code> through
* <code>srcPos+</code><i>k</i><code>-1</code>
* will already have been copied to destination array positions
* <code>destPos</code> through
* <code>destPos+</code><i>k</I><code>-1</code> and no other
* positions of the destination array will have been modified.
* (Because of the restrictions already itemized, this
* paragraph effectively applies only to the situation where both
* arrays have component types that are reference types.)
*
* @param src the source array.
* @param srcPos starting position in the source array.
* @param dest the destination array.
* @param destPos starting position in the destination data.
* @param length the number of array elements to be copied.
* @exception IndexOutOfBoundsException if copying would cause
* access of data outside array bounds.
* @exception ArrayStoreException if an element in the <code>src</code>
* array could not be stored into the <code>dest</code> array
* because of a type mismatch.
* @exception NullPointerException if either <code>src</code> or
