/* 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
   * particularly sophisticated, but it seems to work well for our mostly
   * 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.)
