//! Returns a `hana::type` representing the compile-time hash of an object.
|
|
//! @ingroup group-Hashable
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Given an arbitrary object `x`, `hana::hash` returns a `hana::type`
|
|
//! representing the hash of `x`. In normal programming, hashes are
|
|
//! usually numerical values that can be used e.g. as indices in an
|
|
//! array as part of the implementation of a hash table. In the context
|
|
//! of metaprogramming, we are interested in type-level hashes instead.
|
|
//! Thus, `hana::hash` must return a `hana::type` object instead of an
|
|
//! integer. This `hana::type` must somehow summarize the object being
|
|
//! hashed, but that summary may of course lose some information.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! In order for the `hash` function to be defined properly, it must be
|
|
//! the case that whenever `x` is equal to `y`, then `hash(x)` is equal
|
|
//! to `hash(y)`. This ensures that `hana::hash` is a function in the
|
|
//! mathematical sense of the term.
|
|
//!
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Signature
|
|
//! ---------
|
|
//! Given a `Hashable` `H`, the signature is
|
|
//! \f$
|
|
//! \mathtt{hash} : H \to \mathtt{type\_tag}
|
|
//! \f$
|
|
//!
|
|
//! @param x
|
|
//! An object whose hash is to be computed.
|
|
//!
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Example
|
|
//! -------
|
|
//! @include example/hash.cpp
