A stable hashing algorithm used by rustc: cross-platform, deterministic, not secure.
This crate provides facilities with the StableHasher structure to create stable hashers over unstable hashers by abstracting over them the handling of endian-ness and the target usize/isize bit size difference.
Currently, this crate provides it's own implementation of 128-bit SipHasher: SipHasher128; with StableSipHasher128 for the stable variant.
use rustc_stable_hash::hashers::{StableSipHasher128, SipHasher128Hash};
use rustc_stable_hash::FromStableHash;
use std::hash::Hasher;
struct Hash128([u64; 2]);
impl FromStableHash for Hash128 {
type Hash = SipHasher128Hash;
fn from(SipHasher128Hash(hash): SipHasher128Hash) -> Hash128 {
Hash128(hash)
}
}
let mut hasher = StableSipHasher128::new();
hasher.write_usize(0xFA);
let hash: Hash128 = hasher.finish();
