Expand description
Hash a raw pointer.
This can be used to hash a &T
reference (which coerces to *const T
implicitly)
by its address rather than the value it points to
(which is what the Hash for &T
implementation does).
Examples
use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};
use std::ptr;
let five = 5;
let five_ref = &five;
let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
ptr::hash(five_ref, &mut hasher);
let actual = hasher.finish();
let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
(five_ref as *const i32).hash(&mut hasher);
let expected = hasher.finish();
assert_eq!(actual, expected);
