[PATCH v1 1/4] hashmap: factor out getting an int hash code from a, SHA1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Copying the first bytes of a SHA1 is duplicated in six places, however,
the implications (wrong byte order on little-endian systems) is documented
only once.

Add a properly documented API for this.

+`unsigned int sha1hash(const unsigned char *sha1)`::

+	Converts a cryptographic hash (e.g. SHA-1) into an int-sized hash code
+	for use in hash tables. Cryptographic hashes are supposed to have
+	uniform distribution, so in contrast to `memhash()`, this just copies
