Dear Moosers
As you may know, identity hashes attributed by the virtual machine
ranges up to 4096. This may be problematic when storing objects in a
dictionary. We often have to deal with high number of entities, and
using dictionary is out of question for performance reason.
One solution (inspired from Lukas) would be to use the ID that each
MooseEntity has instead of the hash.
I will try to see whether hash can be overriden in MooseEntity to
return its ID instead.
Will let you know.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Alex,
You might consider using the Hash analysis tool to see if your new
hash function is better.
It's available on the Cincom store (ok... you need to try that in
Visualworks...)
cheers

yes this looks like a good idea.
but the hash function should spread well too I guess

I do not know whether the fact that hash values is increasing by 1 for
each element is a problem or not.
Best is to try. I will give a shoot soon.

You might want to use Hashtable from squeaksource, take a look at the
wiki page.
Could be enough if the number of entities is not too large.

Yes this is something on my todo for some times now.

Apparently, it does not load in Pharo. The code is not closure aware.
I will contact Philip and let you know.

what is the license because it should be MIT and in that case the
closure problem should just be a store in a block arg:
