PyHash API

See also the PyTypeObject.tp_hash member and Hashing of numeric types.

type Py_hash_t

Hash value type: signed integer.

Added in version 3.2.

type Py_uhash_t

Hash value type: unsigned integer.

Added in version 3.2.

PyHASH_MODULUS

The Mersenne prime P = 2**n -1, used for numeric hash scheme.

Added in version 3.13.

PyHASH_BITS

The exponent n of P in PyHASH_MODULUS.

Added in version 3.13.

PyHASH_MULTIPLIER

Prime multiplier used in string and various other hashes.

Added in version 3.13.

PyHASH_INF

The hash value returned for a positive infinity.

Added in version 3.13.

PyHASH_IMAG

The multiplier used for the imaginary part of a complex number.

Added in version 3.13.

type PyHash_FuncDef

Hash function definition used by PyHash_GetFuncDef().

const char *name

Hash function name (UTF-8 encoded string).

const int hash_bits

Internal size of the hash value in bits.

const int seed_bits

Size of seed input in bits.

Added in version 3.4.

PyHash_FuncDef *PyHash_GetFuncDef(void)

Get the hash function definition.

PEP 456 „Secure and interchangeable hash algorithm”.

Added in version 3.4.

Py_hash_t Py_HashPointer(const void *ptr)

Hash a pointer value: process the pointer value as an integer (cast it to uintptr_t internally). The pointer is not dereferenced.

The function cannot fail: it cannot return -1.

Added in version 3.13.

Py_hash_t Py_HashBuffer(const void *ptr, Py_ssize_t len)

Compute and return the hash value of a buffer of len bytes starting at address ptr. The hash is guaranteed to match that of bytes, memoryview, and other built-in objects that implement the buffer protocol.

Use this function to implement hashing for immutable objects whose tp_richcompare function compares to another object’s buffer.

len must be greater than or equal to 0.

This function always succeeds.

Added in version 3.14.

Py_hash_t PyObject_GenericHash(PyObject *obj)

Generic hashing function that is meant to be put into a type object’s tp_hash slot. Its result only depends on the object’s identity.

Szczegół implementacyjny CPythona: In CPython, it is equivalent to Py_HashPointer().

Added in version 3.13.
