Objects.hashCode takes an Object parameter, and will either return 0 when
the parameter is null, or call the underlying hashCode function of the
Object reference.
Passing a primitive value to Objects.hashCode function results in boxing the
primitive, then calling the boxed object’s hashCode. You can get the same
result by using, e.g.: Long.hashCode(long) to get the effective hash code of a
primitive long. If you’re calling this method outside of your own hashCode()
implementation, prefer to use the BoxedClass.hashCode(primitive) functions to
avoid unwanted boxed.
If you’re implementing a hashCode function for your own class that
consists of a single primitive value, you may want to consider some of these
alternatives:
@Override
public int hashCode() {
// This function will box intValue into an Integer, and wrap *that* in an
// array, but will generate a hashCode which is likely to be different than
// the hashCode of the boxed version of the intValue. This makes it easier
// to add more fields to the class and hashCode method (just by adding more
// fields to the hash call), but comes at a potential performance penalty.
return Objects.hash(intValue);
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
// This function will avoid boxing the int to an Integer, and is an explicit
// acknowledgement that the hashCode() of *this* class is the same as the
// hash code of the underlying intValue.
return Integer.hashCode(intValue);
}
Suppress false positives by adding the suppression annotation @SuppressWarnings("ObjectsHashCodePrimitive") to the enclosing element.
