SnapshotArray (libGDX Core 1.2.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Array<T>
- - com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SnapshotArray<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<T>
```
public class SnapshotArray<T>
extends Array<T>
```
Guarantees that array entries provided by begin() between indexes 0 and Array.size at the time begin was called will not be modified until end() is called. If modification of the SnapshotArray occurs between begin/end, the backing array is copied prior to the modification, ensuring that the backing array that was returned by begin() is unaffected. To avoid allocation, an attempt is made to reuse any extra array created as a result of this copy on subsequent copies.
It is suggested iteration be done in this specific way:
```
 SnapshotArray array = new SnapshotArray();
 // ...
 Object[] items = array.begin();
 for (int i = 0, n = array.size; i < n; i++) {
        Object item = items[i];
        // ...
 }
 array.end();
 
```
