Visual Basic

Public Class StringReference.WeakStringCollection

public class StringReference.WeakStringCollection

Remarks

A single string (the vast majority of cases) will be kept as a single reference. When collisions put more than one string in the same hash code the extras will be stored in an array. The array will allocate in increments of 4 (allowing 3 more before the next expand). Packing thus requires a linear walk of the array to move remaining references up, and this can also be done when simply looking up a reference to consider adding it to the collection (which requires a linear walk anyway).
