installEditPolicy in AbstractEditPart [message #239400]

Hi,

As I was digging in the source code I arrived in the
install/removeEditPolicy source code of GEF. I was quite surprised to see
that the policies are kept in an Object array and that
the "installEditPolicy" do not seem to remove another policy having the
same role key.

I'm quite curious about these choices as it may make sense in another
context, why not using a HashMap or something like that ? Why bothering
about the array allocation when an edit policy is added ?

Thanks for your input,

cheers,

Cédric

Thank you for your answer. Then I understand from it that it's done to
decrease the memory footprint of the edit parts, but then I'm still
wondering, using a GMF-based diagram editor we experienced having "doubles"
in the edit-part, for a "who know why" reason the "installEditPolicies()"
method is sometime called again. Then the memory footprint is bigger and
the behavior may seems strange some time.

I guess it's something we should track down and report a bug on GMF if (but
I'm really not sure) it comes from a use case of the GMF tooling.
