File contents: mapping a hash to a hash map bucket
Scramble the hash code in order to protect against bad hash functions.
Example: if Hashable Float
was implemented using the "identity" reinterpreting the bit pattern as
a UInt64
, then the hash codes of all small positive or negative integers would end in around 50
zeroes, meaning that they all land in bucket 0 in reasonably-sized hash maps.
To counteract this, we xor the hash code with some shifted-down versions of itself, to make sure that all of the entropy of the hash code appears in the lower 16 bits at least.
The scrambling operation is very fast. It does not have a measurable impact on performance in the insert benchmark.
