- Type Parameters:
E
- the boxed version ofETYPE
, the element type of a vectorValue-based classes and identity operations
VectorMask
, along withVector
, is a value-based class. WithVectorMask
, identity-sensitive operations such as==
may yield unpredictable results, or reduced performance. Oddly enough,v.equals(w)
is likely to be faster thanv==w
, sinceequals
is not an identity sensitive method. (Neither istoString
norhashCode
.) Also, vector mask objects can be stored in locals and parameters and asstatic final
constants, but storing them in other Java fields or in array elements, while semantically valid, may incur performance penalties.
VectorMask
represents an ordered immutable sequence of boolean
values.
A VectorMask
and Vector
of the same
element type
(ETYPE
) and shape
have the same number of lanes,
and are therefore compatible (specifically, their vector species
are compatible).
Some vector operations accept (compatible) masks to control the selection and operation of lane elements of input vectors.
The number of values in the sequence is referred to as the VectorMask
length
. The length also corresponds to the number of
VectorMask lanes. The lane element at lane index N
(from 0
,
inclusive, to length, exclusive) corresponds to the N + 1
'th
value in the sequence.
A lane is said to be set if the lane element is true
,
otherwise a lane is said to be unset if the lane element is
false
.
VectorMask declares a limited set of unary, binary and reduction operations.
-
A lane-wise unary operation operates on one input mask and produces a
result mask.
For each lane of the input mask the
lane element is operated on using the specified scalar unary operation and
the boolean result is placed into the mask result at the same lane.
The following pseudocode illustrates the behavior of this operation category:
VectorMask<E> a = ...; boolean[] ar = new boolean[a.length()]; for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) { ar[i] = scalar_unary_op(a.laneIsSet(i)); } VectorMask<E> r = VectorMask.fromArray(a.vectorSpecies(), ar, 0);
-
A lane-wise binary operation operates on two input
masks to produce a result mask.
For each lane of the two input masks a and b,
the corresponding lane elements from a and b are operated on
using the specified scalar binary operation and the boolean result is placed
into the mask result at the same lane.
The following pseudocode illustrates the behavior of this operation category:
VectorMask<E> a = ...; VectorMask<E> b = ...; boolean[] ar = new boolean[a.length()]; for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) { ar[i] = scalar_binary_op(a.laneIsSet(i), b.laneIsSet(i)); } VectorMask<E> r = VectorMask.fromArray(a.vectorSpecies(), ar, 0);
-
A cross-lane reduction operation accepts an input mask and produces a scalar result.
For each lane of the input mask the lane element is operated on, together with a scalar accumulation value,
using the specified scalar binary operation. The scalar result is the final value of the accumulator. The
following pseudocode illustrates the behaviour of this operation category:
Mask<E> a = ...; int acc = zero_for_scalar_binary_op; // 0, or 1 for & for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) { acc = scalar_binary_op(acc, a.laneIsSet(i) ? 1 : 0); // & | + } return acc; // maybe boolean (acc != 0)

toVector
Returns a vector representation of this mask, the lane bits of which are set or unset in correspondence to the mask bits. For each mask lane, whereN
is the mask lane index, if the mask lane is set atN
then the specific non-default value-1
is placed into the resulting vector at lane indexN
. Otherwise the default element value0
is placed into the resulting vector at lane indexN
. Whether the element type (ETYPE
) of this mask is floating point or integral, the lane value, as selected by the mask, will be one of the two arithmetic values0
or-1
. For everyETYPE
the most significant bit of the vector lane is set if and only if the mask lane is set. In addition, for integral types, all lane bits are set in lanes where the mask is set.The vector returned is the same as would be computed by
ZERO.blend(MINUS_ONE, this)
, whereZERO
andMINUS_ONE
are vectors which replicate the defaultETYPE
value and theETYPE
value representing-1
, respectively.- API Note:
- For the sake of static type checking, users may wish to check the resulting vector against the expected integral lane type or species. If the mask is for a float-point species, then the resulting vector will have the same shape and lane size, but an integral type. If the mask is for an integral species, the resulting vector will be of exactly that species.

- a vector representation of this mask
