Set, and Map)
Hi all,
Here's an updated webrev for this changeset; the previous review thread is here:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-September/049261.html
This webrev includes the following:
* specification revisions to provide clearer definitions of "view" collections,
"unmodifiable" collections, and "unmodifiable views"
* new List.copyOf(), Set.copyOf(), and Map.copyOf() "copy factory" methods
* new Collectors.toUnmodifiableList, Set, and Map methods
* tests for the new API methods
I've added some assertions that require some independence between the source
collection (or map) and the result of the copyOf() method.
I've made a small but significant change to Set.copyOf compared to the previous
round. Previously, it specified that the first of any equal elements was
preserved. Now, it is explicitly unspecified which of any equals elements is
preserved. This is consistent with Set.addAll, Collectors.toSet, and the newly
added Collectors.toUnmodifiableSet, none of which specify which of duplicate
elements is preserved.
(The outlier here is Stream.distinct, which specifies that the first element of
any duplicates is preserved, if the stream is ordered.)
I've also made some minor wording/editorial changes in response to suggestions
from David Holmes and Roger Riggs. I've kept the wording changes that give
emphasis to "unmodifiable" over "immutable." The term "immutable" is
inextricably intertwined with "persistent" when it comes to data structures, and
I believe we'll be explaining this forever if Java's "immutable" means something
different from everybody else's.
