combine_hashes()

std::size_t abigail::hashing::combine_hashes	(	std::size_t	,
		std::size_t
	)

Produce good hash value combining val1 and val2. This is copied from tree.c in GCC.

fnv_hash()

uint32_t fnv_hash

(

const std::string &

str

)

Compute a stable string hash.

std::hash has no portability or stability guarantees so is unsuitable where reproducibility is a requirement such as in XML output.

This is the 32-bit FNV-1a algorithm. The algorithm, reference code and constants are all unencumbered. It is fast and has reasonable distribution properties.

Parameters

str	the string to hash.

Returns

an unsigned 32 bit hash value.
