Functions

from_variable

from_variable [T] (var @T?, hasher strictly @ (Pointer, Len) -> Nil) -> Nil

helper function to apply the hasher to a variable of type T so you won't have to deal with pointers

Methods

construct

#default
#Gambol.function.alwaysinline
construct (s strictly @Self) -> Self

---

hash

#strict
hash (s @Self, hasher strictly @ (Pointer, Len) -> Nil) -> Nil

abstract all hashable types must override this method. It has a strict interface and takes one parameter hasher which is a function taking a pointer to a block of memory to be hashed along with the length of that block. If you are overriding hash for your type you can apply the hasher function on every block of memory that is relavant to hashing in your hash method.
