A std::hash::Hasher which is designed to
work with already-hashed or hash-like data.
The provided hasher does minimal work under the assumption that the input data is already suitable
for use as a key in a HashSet or HashMap.
As well as the performance benefit, it also causes HashSets or HashMaps to become somewhat
deterministic. Given two equal HashSets or HashMaps containing more than a single element,
iterating them will yield the elements in differing orders. By using a
hash_hasher::HashSet or
hash_hasher::HashMap, then if the
same data is inserted and/or removed in the same order, iterating the collection will yield a
consistent order.
Since new() and with_capacity() aren't available for HashSets or HashMaps using custom
hashers, the available constructors are default(), with_hasher() and
with_capacity_and_hasher().
```rust extern crate hash_hasher;
use hash_hasher::{HashBuildHasher, HashMap, HashSet};
let mut map = HashMap::default(); assert!(map.insert(0, "zero").is_none());
let mut set = HashSet::withcapacityand_hasher(100, HashBuildHasher::default()); assert!(set.insert(0)); ```
A benchmark suite is included and sample figures can be found at the end of the nightly jobs of the AppVeyor results and the Travis results.
