Object domains should contain entity keys rather than double-cast pointers

Posted on Sep 15, 2009 by Swift Hippo

Object domains are currently enumerated domains containing the addresses of the objects cast to doubles. This is untenable on 64-bit platforms because pointers can conceivably be larger than is accurately representable by a standard double. As a result, I suggest moving to holding integer entity keys in those domains and providing a method on Entity for getting Ids from keys.

The method already exists for getting the ID from key.
