pub struct RandomState { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Provides a Hasher factory. This is typically used (e.g. by HashMap) to create AHashers in order to hash the keys of the map. See build_hasher below.

Implementations

Use randomly generated keys

Allows for supplying seeds, but each time it is called the resulting state will be different. This is done using a static counter, so it can safely be used with a fixed keys.

Allows for explicitly setting a seed to used.

Note: This method does not require the provided seed to be strong.

Allows for explicitly setting the seeds to used.

Note: This method is robust against 0s being passed for one or more of the parameters or the same value being passed for more than one parameter.

Calculates the hash of a single value.

This is intended as a convenience for code which consumes hashes, such as the implementation of a hash table or in unit tests that check whether a custom Hash implementation behaves as expected.

This must not be used in any code which creates hashes, such as in an implementation of Hash. The way to create a combined hash of multiple values is to call Hash::hash multiple times using the same Hasher, not to call this method repeatedly and combine the results.

Trait Implementations

Constructs a new AHasher with keys based on this RandomState object. This means that two different RandomStates will will generate AHashers that will return different hashcodes, but Hashers created from the same BuildHasher will generate the same hashes for the same input data.

Examples
        use ahash::{AHasher, RandomState};
        use std::hash::{Hasher, BuildHasher};
    
        let build_hasher = RandomState::new();
        let mut hasher_1 = build_hasher.build_hasher();
        let mut hasher_2 = build_hasher.build_hasher();
    
        hasher_1.write_u32(1234);
        hasher_2.write_u32(1234);
    
        assert_eq!(hasher_1.finish(), hasher_2.finish());
    
        let other_build_hasher = RandomState::new();
        let mut different_hasher = other_build_hasher.build_hasher();
        different_hasher.write_u32(1234);
        assert_ne!(different_hasher.finish(), hasher_1.finish());
