Class LazyForwardingEquality<T extends java.io.Serializable>

java.lang.Object

com.github.autostyle.LazyForwardingEquality<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

NoLambda, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

FormatterStep.Strict

public abstract class LazyForwardingEquality<T extends java.io.Serializable>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, NoLambda

Implements equality, hashcode, and serialization entirely in terms of lazily-computed state. The state’s serialized form is used to implement equals() and hashCode(), so you don’t have to.

Method Detail

calculateState

protected abstract T calculateState()
                             throws java.lang.Throwable

This function is guaranteed to be called at most once. If the state is never required, then it will never be called at all.

Throws exception because it’s likely that there will be some IO going on.

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable

state

protected final T state()

Returns the underlying state, possibly triggering a call to {calculateState().

toBytes

public byte[] toBytes()

Description copied from interface: NoLambda

Returns a byte array representation of everything inside this SerializableFileFilter.

The main purpose of this method is to ensure one can’t instantiate this class with lambda expressions, which are notoriously difficult to serialize and deserialize properly. (See SerializableFileFilterImpl.SkipFilesNamed for an example of how to make a serializable subclass.)

Specified by:

toBytes in interface NoLambda

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object
