object-hash
Function
Summary
The hash function for the equivalence predicate ==.
Signature
object-hash object initial-state => hash-id result-state
Arguments
- object
- An instance of
<integer>. - initial-state
- An instance of
<hash-state>.
Values
- hash-id
- An instance of
<integer>. - result-state
- An instance of
<hash-state>.
Description
Returns a hash code for object that corresponds to the equivalence predicate ==.
This function is a useful tool for writing hash functions in which the object identity of some component of a key is to be used in computing the hash code.
It returns a hash ID (an integer) and the result of merging the initial state with the associated hash state for the object, computed in some implementation-dependent manner.
