Trait std::hash::Hash1.0.0 [−] [src]

pub trait Hash {
    fn hash<H>(&self, state: &mut H)
    where
        H: Hasher;

    fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)
    where
        H: Hasher,
    { ... }
}

A hashable type.

Types implementing Hash are able to be hashed with an instance of Hasher.

Implementing Hash

You can derive Hash with #[derive(Hash)] if all fields implement Hash. The resulting hash will be the combination of the values from calling hash on each field.

#[derive(Hash)]
struct Rustacean {
    name: String,
    country: String,
}Run

If you need more control over how a value is hashed, you can of course implement the Hash trait yourself:

use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};

struct Person {
    id: u32,
    name: String,
    phone: u64,
}

impl Hash for Person {
    fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H) {
        self.id.hash(state);
        self.phone.hash(state);
    }
}Run

Hash and Eq

When implementing both Hash and Eq, it is important that the following property holds:

k1 == k2 -> hash(k1) == hash(k2)

In other words, if two keys are equal, their hashes must also be equal. HashMap and HashSet both rely on this behavior.

Thankfully, you won't need to worry about upholding this property when deriving both Eq and Hash with #[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Hash)].

Required Methods

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

Examples

use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
7920.hash(&mut hasher);
println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());Run

Provided Methods

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

Examples

use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
let numbers = [6, 28, 496, 8128];
Hash::hash_slice(&numbers, &mut hasher);
println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());Run
