Vector源码分析

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Vector;

public class VectorTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> vector = new Vector<>();
        vector.add("abc");
    }
}

查看Vector构造方法：

    /**
     * Constructs an empty vector so that its internal data array
     * has size {@code 10} and its standard capacity increment is
     * zero.
     */
    public Vector() {
        this(10);
    }

查看this(10)

/**
     * Constructs an empty vector with the specified initial capacity and
     * with its capacity increment equal to zero.
     *
     * @param   initialCapacity   the initial capacity of the vector
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the specified initial capacity
     *         is negative
     */
    public Vector(int initialCapacity) {
        this(initialCapacity, 0);
    }

再继续看this(initialCapacity,0)

 /**
     * Constructs an empty vector with the specified initial capacity and
     * capacity increment.
     *
     * @param   initialCapacity     the initial capacity of the vector
     * @param   capacityIncrement   the amount by which the capacity is
     *                              increased when the vector overflows
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the specified initial capacity
     *         is negative
     */
    public Vector(int initialCapacity, int capacityIncrement) {
        super();
        if (initialCapacity < 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Capacity: "+
                                               initialCapacity);
        this.elementData = new Object[initialCapacity];
        this.capacityIncrement = capacityIncrement;
    }

此时initialCapacity为10，capacityIncrement为0，this.elementData为对象数组

    /**
     * The array buffer into which the components of the vector are
     * stored. The capacity of the vector is the length of this array buffer,
     * and is at least large enough to contain all the vector's elements.
     *
     * <p>Any array elements following the last element in the Vector are null.
     *
     * @serial
     */
    protected Object[] elementData;

所以Vector底层采用的是数组来存放元素的，大部分的public方法都是synchronized的。即同步的。使用不当会造成性能问题。

Vector和ArrayList底层数据结构都是数组。
