Function documentation
std::
Computes 64-bit digest of given data using the xxHash3 algorithm.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| data | Pointer to the beginning of the input buffer |
| length | Length of the input buffer in bytes |
| Returns | 64-bit hash of the input |
xxHash3 is a fast, non-cryptographic hash function well suited for hash tables, checksums and content deduplication — it is not intended for security-sensitive use. The result depends only on the byte contents of the buffer, so hashing the same bytes always yields the same value. Passing nullptr with zero length is valid and returns the hash of an empty input.
std::
Computes 64-bit digest of given data using the xxHash3 algorithm with a custom seed.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| data | Pointer to the beginning of the input buffer |
| length | Length of the input buffer in bytes |
| seed | Seed value that alters the resulting hash |
Unlike xxHash3(const void*, std::seed into the computation, so different seeds produce independent hashes of the same input — useful for seeded hash tables or to reduce the chance of collisions being exploited.
