PyHash API
----------
See also the :c:member:`PyTypeObject.tp_hash` member and :ref:`numeric-hash`.
.. c:type:: Py_hash_t
Hash value type: signed integer.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
.. c:type:: Py_uhash_t
Hash value type: unsigned integer.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
.. c:macro:: Py_HASH_ALGORITHM
A numerical value indicating the algorithm for hashing of :class:`str`,
:class:`bytes`, and :class:`memoryview`.
The algorithm name is exposed by :data:`sys.hash_info.algorithm`.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. c:macro:: Py_HASH_FNV
Py_HASH_SIPHASH24
Py_HASH_SIPHASH13
Numerical values to compare to :c:macro:`Py_HASH_ALGORITHM` to determine
which algorithm is used for hashing. The hash algorithm can be configured
via the configure :option:`--with-hash-algorithm` option.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
Add :c:macro:`!Py_HASH_FNV` and :c:macro:`!Py_HASH_SIPHASH24`.
.. versionadded:: 3.11
Add :c:macro:`!Py_HASH_SIPHASH13`.
.. c:macro:: Py_HASH_CUTOFF
Buffers of length in range ``[1, Py_HASH_CUTOFF)`` are hashed using DJBX33A
instead of the algorithm described by :c:macro:`Py_HASH_ALGORITHM`.
- A :c:macro:`!Py_HASH_CUTOFF` of 0 disables the optimization.
- :c:macro:`!Py_HASH_CUTOFF` must be non-negative and less or equal than 7.
32-bit platforms should use a cutoff smaller than 64-bit platforms because
it is easier to create colliding strings. A cutoff of 7 on 64-bit platforms
and 5 on 32-bit platforms should provide a decent safety margin.
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.cutoff` constant.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. c:macro:: PyHASH_MODULUS
The `Mersenne prime <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime>`_ ``P = 2**n -1``,
used for numeric hash scheme.
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.modulus` constant.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
.. c:macro:: PyHASH_BITS
The exponent ``n`` of ``P`` in :c:macro:`PyHASH_MODULUS`.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
.. c:macro:: PyHASH_MULTIPLIER
Prime multiplier used in string and various other hashes.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
.. c:macro:: PyHASH_INF
The hash value returned for a positive infinity.
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.inf` constant.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
.. c:macro:: PyHASH_IMAG
The multiplier used for the imaginary part of a complex number.
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.imag` constant.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
.. c:type:: PyHash_FuncDef
Hash function definition used by :c:func:`PyHash_GetFuncDef`.
.. c:member:: Py_hash_t (*const hash)(const void *, Py_ssize_t)
Hash function.
.. c:member:: const char *name
Hash function name (UTF-8 encoded string).
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.algorithm` constant.
.. c:member:: const int hash_bits
Internal size of the hash value in bits.
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.hash_bits` constant.
.. c:member:: const int seed_bits
Size of seed input in bits.
This corresponds to the :data:`sys.hash_info.seed_bits` constant.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. c:function:: PyHash_FuncDef* PyHash_GetFuncDef(void)
Get the hash function definition.
.. seealso::
:pep:`456` "Secure and interchangeable hash algorithm".
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. c:function:: Py_hash_t Py_HashPointer(const void *ptr)
Hash a pointer value: process the pointer value as an integer (cast it to
``uintptr_t`` internally). The pointer is not dereferenced.
The function cannot fail: it cannot return ``-1``.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
.. c:function:: Py_hash_t PyObject_GenericHash(PyObject *obj)
Generic hashing function that is meant to be put into a type
object's ``tp_hash`` slot.
Its result only depends on the object's identity.
.. impl-detail::
In CPython, it is equivalent to :c:func:`Py_HashPointer`.
.. versionadded:: 3.13
