Class IdentityComparator<T>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.util.Comparator<T>

    public class IdentityComparator<T>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.util.Comparator<T>
    The comparator uses == and System.identifyHashCode to compare two objects. It assumes if o1 != o2, then c1 != c2 where c1 = System.identityHashCode(o1).

    This is useful if dynamic proxy is used with TreeSet or TreeMap (so equals is expensive). Reason: the speed of identifyHashCode is much faster than dynamic proxy (150:1).

    However, if possible, java.util.IdentityHashMap and IdentityHashSet are preferred.
