No, the AA does not guarantee that the value will remain in the same location. Inserting or removing *any* keys could cause the AA to resize, which may change the locations of all of its values.

However, you do not have to worry about undefined behavior, because the garbage collector will keep the "stale" copy of the value alive as long as you hold a pointer to it.

Thanks a lot for clarification
