Java packing and unpacking details
Preface:
To understand the concepts of boxing and unboxing, you need to understand the Java data type
Boxed: basic types are wrapped with their corresponding reference types to give them the properties of objects. int is packaged as Integer, float as Float
Unboxing: as opposed to boxing, objects of reference types are reduced to data of value types
Integer a = 100; This is autoboxing ( The compiler calls static Integer valueOf(int i))
int b = new Integer(100); This is automatic unpacking Take a look at the following piece of code
m1
public class DataType {
public static void main(String args[]) {
DataType dt = new DataType();
dt.m11();
dt.m12();
}
public void m11() {
Integer a = new Integer(100);
Integer b = 100;
System.out.println("m11 result " + (a == b));
}
public void m12() {
Integer a = new Integer(128);
Integer b = 128;
System.out.println("m12 result " + (a == b));
}
}
What is the print result?
m11 result false
m12 result false"==" compares the address, while a and b have different addresses, that is, they are two objects, so they are both false
The bytecode is parsed by javap as follows
public void m11();
Code:

Analysis of the
javap is a tool that comes with Java, which can be decompiled, and can also view the bytecode generated by Java compiler (the above code only USES javap-c DataType), which is a good tool for analyzing code. How to use Google1
First look at m4, why "true" appears in the running result? true indicates that a and b are the same object.
But the a object is generated by calling Integer.valueOf (), and b is generated by autoboxing. Why is it the same object? Take another look at the bytecode. After all, the Java program relies on a virtual machine to run the bytecode.
m41 only worked once for valueOf(), but twice in the bytecode, indicating that valueOf() was also called during autoboxing.
Below is the implementation of valueOf()
/**
* Returns a <tt>Integer</tt> instance representing the specified
* <tt>int</tt> value.
* If a new <tt>Integer</tt> instance is not required, this method
* should generally be used in preference to the constructor
* {@link #Integer(int)}, as this method is likely to yield
* significantly better space and time performance by caching
* frequently requested values.
*
* @param i an <code>int</code> value.
* @return a <tt>Integer</tt> instance representing <tt>i</tt>.
* @since 1.5
*/
public static Integer valueOf(int i) {
final int offset = 128;
if (i >= -128 && i <= 127) { // must cache
return IntegerCache.cache[i + offset];
}
return new Integer(i);
}
The number between [-128, 127], valueOf returns the object in the cache, so both calls return the same object.
