FileBackedHashSetT(String, IEnumerableT) Constructor
Namespace: Gemstone.IO.CollectionsAssembly: Gemstone.IO (in Gemstone.IO.dll) Version: 1.0.128 -- Release Build+2960d3f3619fdc53cad514a51817286dcfb19027
Gemstone.IO.Collections.FileBackedHashSet = function(filePath, enumerable);
Parameters
- filePath String
- The path to the file used to store the lookup table.
- enumerable IEnumerableT
- The enumerable whose elements are copied to this hash set.
This constructor uses the default equality comparer for file backed lookup tables,
which is not the same as the default equality comparer for
T
objects. This is because the default implementation of
GetHashCode
does not provide guarantees about consistency across platforms, or even implementations
of the CLR. Instead, the default equality comparer uses a byte-for-byte comparison to
determine equality between keys and a CRC-32 for its hash code implementation. This
means the performance of the hashing function is dependent on the performance of the
serialization function.
