NAME¶
libmurmurhash - non-cryptographic hash functions
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <murmurhash.h>
void lmmh_x86_32(const void *addr, unsigned int len, uint32_t seed, uint32_t out[1]);
void lmmh_x86_128(const void *addr, unsigned int len, uint32_t seed, uint32_t out[4]);
void lmmh_x64_128(const void *addr, unsigned int len, uint32_t seed, uint64_t out[2]);
Deprecated API¶
void MurmurHash3_x86_32(const void *data, int len, uint32_t seed, void *out);
void MurmurHash3_x86_128(const void *data, int len, uint32_t seed, void *out);
void MurmurHash3_x64_128(const void *data, int len, uint32_t seed, void *out);
DESCRIPTION¶
- LibMurmurHash provides the three variants of MurmurHash3 from the original
source. The first parameter addr specifies the beginning of the data
to be hashed in memory. The second parameter len gives the number of
bytes to be hashed. The third parameter seed can be used to compute
an alternative hash on the same data. Pass the location of the hash via the
out parameter.
EXAMPLE¶
- Compute the hash of length bytes starting from data and
print the 32-bit sized hash value.
uint32_t hash;
lmmh_x86_32(data, length, 0, &hash);
printf("%" PRIx32 "", hash);
Do the same, but with a wider hash.
uint64_t widehash[2];
lmmh_x64_128(data, length, 0, widehash);
printf("%" PRIx64 "%" PRIx64 "", widehash[0], widehash[1]);
AUTHORS¶
MurmurHash was created by Austin Appleby. PMurHash was written by Shane Day.
Fabian Klötzl created libmurmurhash. All code is dedicated to the
public domain.
BUGS¶
The old API is problematic in that a negative length remains unchecked and the
output parameter has very specific alignment requirements. Furthermore, the
order of bytes in the hash may differ across architectures.
