rustc-stable-hash

A stable hashing algorithm used by rustc: cross-platform, deterministic, not secure.

This crate provides facilities with the StableHasher structure to create stable hashers over unstable hashers by abstracting over them the handling of endian-ness and the target usize/isize bit size difference.

Currently, this crate provides its own implementation of 128-bit SipHasher: SipHasher128; with StableSipHasher128 for the stable variant.

Usage

use rustc_stable_hash::hashers::{StableSipHasher128, SipHasher128Hash};
use rustc_stable_hash::FromStableHash;
use std::Hasher;

struct Hash128([u64; 2]);
impl FromStableHash for Hash128 {
    type Hash = SipHasher128Hash;

    fn from(SipHasher128Hash(hash): SipHasher128Hash) -> Hash128 {
        Hash128(hash)
    }
}

let mut hasher = StableSipHasher128::new();
hasher.write_usize(0xFA);

let hash: Hash128 = hasher.finish();
