The class BigDecimal can be and sometimes is subclassed. The spec of BigDecimal.hashCode is improved slightly by explicitly stating it is a function of the unscaled value and the scale of the BigDecimal, the same fields examined by equals.
It is a conscious choice to *not* explicitly state what the exact hash function is. As the behavior of hashCode is mostly implied from equals, I don't think a CSR is necessary in this case. ------------- Commit messages: - 8262927: Explicitly state fields examined for BigDecimal.hashCode Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2817/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=2817&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8262927 Stats: 7 lines in 1 file changed: 5 ins; 0 del; 2 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2817.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/2817/head:pull/2817 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2817
