Hi Charles
Its pretty simple. All of my integers are boxed and are by definition
immutable. However I noticed
that many uses of integer were for loop counters and indexes where the
integer never escapes from
the method. So I added two primitives, one to copy a integer into a new
box and the other to increment
the java primitive held inside the box. In all other ways it inherits
from my Integer class. The value is in
reducing Integer creation for big loop/index ints.
Usage looks like
position := 1 newMutable. gets a mutable integer with an initial
value of 1
position increment:1. increments the internal primitive
position <= 100000 normal integer compare method
I'll probably add a mutable bit to the header to protect the unwary in
case it escapes but for now its
a power tool.
regards
mark

Can you explain MutableInteger a bit more?
