Sebb commented on MATH-786: --------------------------- If the Javadoc says that the user must not change the object, then the code can assume that the object is immutable. No need for an extra flag; the hash can be calculated once regardless. If the user does not obey the Javadoc, and bad things happen when the hashcode changes, that's their problem. > "hashCode" in "Pair" class > -------------------------- > > Key: MATH-786 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-786 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0 > Reporter: Gilles > Assignee: Gilles > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 3.1 > > > Since "Pair" is supposed to be an immutable class, couldn't we cache the > "hashCode" value at construction? That would supposedly make it more > efficient when used in maps. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
