Implementations of javalib `fileKey` has at least two defects. about scala-native HOT 2 OPEN

Very nice analysis 😄

from scala-native.

Could someone who knows Windows check this out?

I believe that WindowsDosFileAttributeView.scala is using reference equality rather than content equality.

The relevant code is (edited for presentation):

       class DosFileKey(volumeId: DWord, fileIndex: ULargeInteger)

        private val dosFileKey =
          new DosFileKey(
            volumeId = fileInfo.volumeSerialNumber,
            fileIndex = fileInfo.fileIndex
          )


     
	def fileKey(): Object = dosFileKey  // Object equals is, I believe, reference equality.

~~ I believe the simplest fix is to use a case class class DosFileKey(volumeId: DWord, fileIndex: ULargeInteger).
That should generate equals & hashcode methods which override those in Object to give content equality.~~

In the unix code, I decided to override equals(), hashCode(), and toString()
