this uses a local hash var on purpose due to https://jeremymanson.blogspot.com/2008/12/benign-data-races-in-java.html. Also the String class itself uses the same approach when lazily calculating and caching a hashCode
| private JavaHashes() {} | ||
|
|
||
| public static int hashCode(CharSequence str) { | ||
| if (null == str) { |

there are places in the codebase that use CharSequenceWrapper.wrap(...) and then set the wrapper to null. The issue was never uncovered because equals/hashCode was never called on those CharSequenceWrapper instances.
When adding TestCharSequenceWrapper I noticed that this failed with a NPE, so I fixed this here and also added some tests around this
| public class TestCharSequenceWrapper { | ||
|
|
||
| @Test | ||
| public void nullWrapper() { |

this test uncovered a NPE in JavaHashes

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd set a default value of 0, since that technically can be a legit hashCode value for some series of characters no?
I think I'd make this an Integer hashCode and have it be null to identify that nothing is cached yet.

But good call making it transient, that's important since it shouldn't be serialized and the cache somehow used across JVMs

I went down this rabbit hole: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18746394/can-a-non-empty-string-have-a-hashcode-of-zero

ah good point, thanks for finding that. Instead of making this an Integer I actually introduced a boolean flag. The String implementation does the same thing so that the hash isn't re-calculated when the hash is actually 0

Awesome, maybe just comment in the code that we're following what java.lang.String does

good point, I've added a comment mentioning that this follows java.lang.String
