Oh, and in case it wasn't clear: 32 bit JDKs will give up long before (1

I disagree on "nice" part. A map that is forced beyond a reasonable load factor will behave very badly (although with the tree based stuff that was introduced into `HashMap`,...

Just to be clear, I don't believe the JDK `HashMap` is buggy until the size hits `Integer.MAX_VALUE + 1`. It can store the entries beyond `1

I don't believe this is a valid optimization because of the function involved. Here is an example function that will break if the code is changed: ``` int prev =...

@LuizFrra try it with the current code (no optimization) and see what ends up in the target.

The word "lambda" is borrowed from [lambda calculus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus), not from Java's syntactical definition of a "lambda expression". It also fits the wikipedia definition of a [closure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_programming)) fairly well: "Operationally, a...

Yes, in the general sense of lambda/closure, it is. See the wikipedia articles. lambda/closure has a long history far longer and richer than the meager implementation in Java.

Sure. It's also an example of a constant function; it's even explicitly mentioned in the lambda calculus article: "Further, ( λ x . y ) represents the constant function x...
