/* Utilities for hashing. */
/*
* This file exports functions for hashing data down to a 32-bit value,
* including:
*
* - HashString Hash a char* or uint16_t/wchar_t* of known or unknown
* length.
*
* - HashBytes Hash a byte array of known length.
*
* - HashGeneric Hash one or more values. Currently, we support uint32_t,
* types which can be implicitly cast to uint32_t, data
* pointers, and function pointers.
*
* - AddToHash Add one or more values to the given hash. This supports the
* same list of types as HashGeneric.
*
*
* You can chain these functions together to hash complex objects. For example:
*
* class ComplexObject
* {
* char* mStr;
* uint32_t mUint1, mUint2;
* void (*mCallbackFn)();
*
* public:
* uint32_t hash()
* {
* uint32_t hash = HashString(mStr);
* hash = AddToHash(hash, mUint1, mUint2);
* return AddToHash(hash, mCallbackFn);
* }
* };
*
* If you want to hash an nsAString or nsACString, use the HashString functions
* in nsHashKeys.h.

* This is the meat of all our hash routines. This hash function is not

* plain-text inputs. Implementation notes follow.
*
* Our use of the golden ratio here is arbitrary; we could pick almost any
* number which:
*
* * is odd (because otherwise, all our hash values will be even)
*
* * has a reasonably-even mix of 1's and 0's (consider the extreme case
* where we multiply by 0x3 or 0xeffffff -- this will not produce good
* mixing across all bits of the hash).
*
* The rotation length of 5 is also arbitrary, although an odd number is again
* preferable so our hash explores the whole universe of possible rotations.
*
* Finally, we multiply by the golden ratio *after* xor'ing, not before.
* Otherwise, if |aHash| is 0 (as it often is for the beginning of a
* message), the expression
*
* (kGoldenRatioU32 * RotateBitsLeft(aHash, 5)) |xor| aValue
*
* evaluates to |aValue|.
*
* (Number-theoretic aside: Because any odd number |m| is relatively prime to
* our modulus (2^32), the list
*
* [x * m (mod 2^32) for 0 <= x < 2^32]
*
* has no duplicate elements. This means that multiplying by |m| does not
* cause us to skip any possible hash values.
*
* It's also nice if |m| has large-ish order mod 2^32 -- that is, if the
* smallest k such that m^k == 1 (mod 2^32) is large -- so we can safely
* multiply our hash value by |m| a few times without negating the
* multiplicative effect. Our golden ratio constant has order 2^29, which is
* more than enough for our purposes.)
