[lang] immutable BitSet
Hi All,
Any thoughts for or against adding an ImmutableBitSet as a subclass
of BitSet?
It would throw an exception on attempt to mutate.
I can then be used to define an EMPTY_BITSET constant.
I could also be used in some of our methods that return a new empty bit
set, if appropriate of course.

Yes, more, AFAICT...

... because "Set" is an interface whose contract explicitly mentions
some operations as "optional". Not so for the "BitSet" class.

There will be practical problems (e.g. if the upstream class adds a mutating
method, not yet overridden by this extension).
Immutability cannot be added after the fact.

no more so than the ImmutableSet breaks the Set contract. Yes it does but
the pattern is well established.

I agree with that remark.
Having "ImmutableBitSet" inherit from "BitSet" breaks the latter's contract.

Then all ImmutableBitSet instance are instance of a mutable BitSet class
when we use instance of.
I just worry that could be kind of misleading sometimes.

Why would you need that? The JRE already has a BitSet class. The idea is to
reuse it, hence the new Lang immutable type extending the existing JRE
mutable one. I do not think we need to reinvent the wheel here.

then it is better to make a AbstractBitSet abstract class?and two sub classes MutableBitSet and ImmutableBitSet...

Hi All,

It would throw an exception on attempt to mutate.
I can then be used to define an EMPTY_BITSET constant.
