/**
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Interface for constraints that support digests. Digest is a small data object
|
|
* with final fields, typically primitive, used for processing (such as
|
|
* rendering or other very frequent operations).
|
|
* </p>
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Taking a digest is expensive, so if it needs to be done often and the value
|
|
* changes are deterministic (such as, triggered by timing event or screen
|
|
* resize), it's useful to cache the last digest and reuse it until such an
|
|
* event occurs again.
|
|
* </p>
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Implementing class typically needs a field to store the last digest, a flag
|
|
* that digest caching is enabled, and a flag that a digest is dirty.
|
|
* </p>
