HashMap
can and do change的实现细节。这个包私有方法很可能是这样做的(来自 JDK 1.6.0_16):
/**
* Applies a supplemental hash function to a given hashCode, which
* defends against poor quality hash functions. This is critical
* because HashMap uses power-of-two length hash tables, that
* otherwise encounter collisions for hashCodes that do not differ
* in lower bits. Note: Null keys always map to hash 0, thus index 0.
*/
static int hash(int h) {
// This function ensures that hashCodes that differ only by
// constant multiples at each bit position have a bounded
// number of collisions (approximately 8 at default load factor).
h ^= (h >>> 20) ^ (h >>> 12);
return h ^ (h >>> 7) ^ (h >>> 4);
}
作为参考,JDK 1.5.0_06 中的类似物是:
/**
* Returns a hash value for the specified object. In addition to
* the object's own hashCode, this method applies a "supplemental
* hash function," which defends against poor quality hash functions.
* This is critical because HashMap uses power-of two length
* hash tables.<p>
*
* The shift distances in this function were chosen as the result
* of an automated search over the entire four-dimensional search space.
*/
static int hash(Object x) {
int h = x.hashCode();
h += ~(h << 9);
h ^= (h >>> 14);
h += (h << 4);
h ^= (h >>> 10);
return h;
}
