Definition

Namespace: Gemstone.IO.Collections
Assembly: Gemstone.IO (in Gemstone.IO.dll) Version: 1.0.128 -- Release Build+2960d3f3619fdc53cad514a51817286dcfb19027
public FileBackedHashSet()

Remarks

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.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationExceptionT cannot be serialized.
