Function autoHash [src]

Alias for std.hash.auto_hash.autoHash

Provides generic hashing for any eligible type. Only hashes key itself, pointers are not followed. Slices as well as unions and structs containing slices are rejected to avoid ambiguity on the user's intention.

Prototype

pub fn autoHash(hasher: anytype, key: anytype) void

Source

  pub fn autoHash(hasher: anytype, key: anytype) void {
    const Key = @TypeOf(key);
    if (comptime typeContainsSlice(Key)) {
        @compileError("std.hash.autoHash does not allow slices as well as unions and structs containing slices here (" ++ @typeName(Key) ++
            ") because the intent is unclear. Consider using std.hash.autoHashStrat or providing your own hash function instead.");
    }

    hash(hasher, key, .Shallow);
