📄 38% (0.38x) speedup for BoolIntValue.equals in client/src/com/aerospike/client/Value.java

⏱️ Runtime : 4.13 microseconds 3.00 microseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Optimization Explanation:
The original equals method performs unnecessary operations: it calls getClass() on both objects and uses equals() for class comparison. This creates temporary Class objects and performs string-based equality checks. The optimized version uses instanceof which is faster (single bytecode instruction) and more idiomatic for type checking. Additionally, it eliminates the redundant null check since instanceof already handles null cases by returning false.

/**
 * Unit tests for com.aerospike.client.Value.BoolIntValue.equals(...)
 *
 * These tests focus on the equals implementation in the nested BoolIntValue class:
 *   public boolean equals(Object other) {
 *     return (other != null &&
 *         this.getClass().equals(other.getClass()) &&
 *         this.value == ((BoolIntValue)other).value);
 *   }
 *
 * Tests cover typical cases, edge cases (null, different types), and a simple
 * large-scale loop to assert behavior under repeated comparisons.

**Optimization Explanation:**
The original `equals` method performs unnecessary operations: it calls `getClass()` on both objects and uses `equals()` for class comparison. This creates temporary Class objects and performs string-based equality checks. The optimized version uses `instanceof` which is faster (single bytecode instruction) and more idiomatic for type checking. Additionally, it eliminates the redundant null check since `instanceof` already handles null cases by returning false.
