Scala example source code file (BoxesRunTime.java)

This example Scala source code file (BoxesRunTime.java) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to scala-lang.org; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

/** An object (static class) that defines methods used for creating,

  * of methods in this object:
  *   - Convenience boxing methods which call the static valueOf method
  *     on the boxed class, thus utilizing the JVM boxing cache.
  *   - Convenience unboxing methods returning default value on null.
  *   - The generalised comparison method to be used when an object may
  *     be a boxed value.
  *   - Standard value operators for boxed number and quasi-number values.

    /** Hashcode algorithm is driven by the requirements imposed

     *  types, which already have the same hashCodes for the same
     *  values except for Long.  So Long's hashCode is altered to
     *  conform to Int's for all values in Int's range.
     *
     *  Float is problematic because it's far too small to hold
     *  all the Ints, so for instance Int.MaxValue.toFloat claims
     *  to be == to each of the largest 64 Ints.  There is no way
     *  to preserve equals/hashCode alignment without compromising
     *  the hashCode distribution, so Floats are only guaranteed
     *  to have the same hashCode for whole Floats in the range
     *  Short.MinValue to Short.MaxValue (2^16 total.)
     *
     *  Double has its hashCode altered to match the entire Int range,
     *  but is not guaranteed beyond that.  (But could/should it be?
     *  The hashCode is only 32 bits so this is a more tractable
     *  issue than Float's, but it might be better simply to exclude it.)
     *
     *  Note: BigInt and BigDecimal, being arbitrary precision, could
     *  be made consistent with all other types for the Int range, but
     *  as yet have not.
     *
     *  Note: Among primitives, Float.NaN != Float.NaN, but the boxed
     *  versions are equal.  This still needs reconciliation.
