This is mostly directed at Ingo I think, I was playing with HashSets.
Yesterday I was trying to use a BPrivate::HashSet as found in
headers/private/shared/HashSet.h with a BString as a key. However, when
I added a BString to the HashSet it tries to call BString.GetHashCode()
and complained that BString doesn't have that method.
BString does however have a HashValue() method, and I've noticed that
other classes, like BInvoker, have a HashValue() method as well. I'm
guessing that this method was added with the intent of making BStrings
hashable in this way.
Would it be amenable to change the BPrivate::HashSet (and
BPrivate::HashMap) to call HashValue() instead of GetHashCode() assuming
they are suppose to do the same thing so that we can use unmodified
BString keys?
