<h3>Description</h3>
The function object <tt>hash&lt;T&gt;</tt> is a <A href="HashFunction.html">Hash Function</A>; it is used as
the default hash function by all of the <A href="HashedAssociativeContainer.html">Hashed Associative
Containers</A> that are included in the STL.
<P>
The <tt>hash&lt;T&gt;</tt> template is only defined for template arguments of type
<tt>char*</tt>, <tt>const char*</tt>, <tt><A href="Rope.html">crope</A></tt>, <tt><A href="Rope.html">wrope</A></tt>, and the built-in
integral types.  <A href="#1">[1]</A> If you need a Hash Function with a different
argument type, you must either provide your own template
specialization or else use a different Hash Function.
<h3>Example</h3>
<pre>
int main()
{
  hash&lt;const char*&gt; H;
  cout &lt;&lt; &quot;foo -&gt; &quot; &lt;&lt; H(&quot;foo&quot;) &lt;&lt; endl;
  cout &lt;&lt; &quot;bar -&gt; &quot; &lt;&lt; H(&quot;bar&quot;) &lt;&lt; endl;
}
</pre>
<h3>Definition</h3>
Defined in the headers <A href="hash_map">hash_map</A> and <A href="hash_set">hash_set</A>, and in the
backward-compatibility headers <A href="hash_map.h">hash_map.h</A> and <A href="hash_set.h">hash_set.h</A>.
This class is an SGI extension; it is not part of the C++ standard.

<h3>Model of</h3>
<A href="HashFunction.html">Hash Function</A>
<h3>Type requirements</h3>
<tt>T</tt> must be a type for which a specialization of <tt>hash</tt> has been
defined.  The STL defines the following specializations: 
<UL>
<LI>
<tt>char*</tt>
<LI>
<tt>const char*</tt>
<LI>
<tt><A href="Rope.html">crope</A></tt>
<LI>
<tt><A href="Rope.html">wrope</A></tt>
<LI>
<tt>char</tt>
<LI>
<tt>signed char</tt>
<LI>
<tt>unsigned char</tt>
<LI>
<tt>short</tt>
<LI>
<tt>unsigned short</tt>
<LI>
<tt>int</tt>
<LI>
<tt>unsigned int</tt>
<LI>
<tt>long</tt>
<LI>
<tt>unsigned long</tt>
</UL>
<h3>Public base classes</h3>
None.

<TD VAlign=top>

</TD>
</tr>
</table>
<h3>New members</h3>
All of <tt>hash</tt>'s members are defined in the 
<A href="HashFunction.html">Hash Function</A>
requirements.  <tt>Hash</tt> does not introduce any new members.
<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
Technically, what this means is that the actual template
<tt>hash&lt;T&gt;</tt> is an empty class; the member function <tt>operator()</tt> 
is defined only in the various specializations.
