Hashing

hashString :: String -> Int32Source

A sample hash function for Strings. We keep multiplying by the golden ratio and adding. The implementation is:

 hashString = foldl' f golden
   where f m c = fromIntegral (ord c) * magic + hashInt32 m
         magic = 0xdeadbeef

Where hashInt32 works just as hashInt shown above.

Knuth argues that repeated multiplication by the golden ratio will minimize gaps in the hash space, and thus it's a good choice for combining together multiple keys to form one.

Here we know that individual characters c are often small, and this produces frequent collisions if we use ord c alone. A particular problem are the shorter low ASCII and ISO-8859-1 character strings. We pre-multiply by a magic twiddle factor to obtain a good distribution. In fact, given the following test:

 testp :: Int32 -> Int
 testp k = (n - ) . length . group . sort . map hs . take n $ ls
   where ls = [] : [c : l | l <- ls, c <- ['\0'..'\xff']]
         hs = foldl' f golden
         f m c = fromIntegral (ord c) * k + hashInt32 m
         n = 100000

We discover that testp magic = 0.
