CompositeKeyHashCode
Class
Common
public expect class CompositeKeyHashCode
The return type of currentCompositeKeyHashCode
. On most platforms this is a Long
but may be a
different type if the platform target does not support Long
efficiently (such as JavaScript).
A CompositeKeyHashCode
is a hash that correlates to a location in a Composition. Hashes are
stable, meaning that if the same composition hierarchy is recomposed or recreated, it will have
the same hashes. Hashes are very likely, but not guaranteed, to be unique.
If you need to convert this value to an Int, it is strongly recommended to use hashCode
instead
of toInt
. Truncating this value instead of hashing it can greatly impact a
value's effectiveness as a hash.
