32-bit hashing algorithms
Documentation
//! 32-bit hashing algorithms
//!
//! # Why?
//!
//! Because 32-bit architectures are a thing (e.g. ARM Cortex-M) and you don't want your hashing
//! function to pull in a bunch of slow 64-bit compiler intrinsics (software implementations of
//! 64-bit operations).
//!
//! # Relationship to `core::hash`
//!
//! This crate extends [`core::hash`] with a 32-bit version of `Hasher`, which extends
//! `core::hash::Hasher`. It requires that the hasher only performs 32-bit operations when computing
//! the hash, and adds [`finish32`] to get the hasher's result as a `u32`. The standard `finish`
//! method should just zero-extend this result.
//!
//! Since it extends `core::hash::Hasher`, `Hasher` can be used with any type which implements the
//! standard `Hash` trait.
//!
//! This crate also adds a version of `BuildHasherDefault` with a const constructor, to work around
//! the `core` version's lack of one.
//!
//! [`core::hash`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/hash/index.html
//! [`finish32`]: crate::Hasher::finish32
//!
//! # Hashers
//!
//! This crate provides implementations of the following 32-bit hashing algorithms:
//!
//! - [Fowler-Noll-Vo](struct.FnvHasher.html)
//! - [MurmurHash3](struct.Murmur3Hasher.html)
//!
//! # Generic code
//!
//! In generic code, the trait bound `H: core::hash::Hasher` accepts *both* 64-bit hashers like
//! `std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher`; and 32-bit hashers like the ones defined in this
//! crate (`hash32::FnvHasher` and `hash32::Murmur3Hasher`)
//!
//! The trait bound `H: hash32::Hasher` is *more* restrictive as it only accepts 32-bit hashers.
//!
//! The `BuildHasherDefault<H>` type implements the `core::hash::BuildHasher` trait so it can
//! construct both 32-bit and 64-bit hashers. To constrain the type to only produce 32-bit hasher
//! you can add the trait bound `H::Hasher: hash32::Hasher`
//!
//! # MSRV
//!
//! This crate is guaranteed to compile on latest stable Rust. It *might* compile on older
//! versions but that may change in any new patch release.
