//! Generic hashing support.
//!
//! This module provides a generic way to compute the [hash] of a value.
//! Hashes are most commonly used with [`HashMap`] and [`HashSet`].
//!
//! [hash]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function
//! [`HashMap`]: ../../std/collections/struct.HashMap.html
//! [`HashSet`]: ../../std/collections/struct.HashSet.html
//!
//! The simplest way to make a type hashable is to use `#[derive(Hash)]`:
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::hash::{DefaultHasher, Hash, Hasher};
//!
//! #[derive(Hash)]
//! struct Person {
//! id: u32,
//! name: String,
//! phone: u64,
//! }
//!
//! let person1 = Person {
//! id: 5,
//! name: "Janet".to_string(),
//! phone: 555_666_7777,
//! };
//! let person2 = Person {
//! id: 5,
//! name: "Bob".to_string(),
//! phone: 555_666_7777,
//! };
//!
//! assert!(calculate_hash(&person1) != calculate_hash(&person2));
//!
//! fn calculate_hash<T: Hash>(t: &T) -> u64 {
//! let mut s = DefaultHasher::new();
//! t.hash(&mut s);
//! s.finish()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! If you need more control over how a value is hashed, you need to implement
//! the [`Hash`] trait:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::hash::{DefaultHasher, Hash, Hasher};
//!
//! struct Person {
//! id: u32,
//! # #[allow(dead_code)]
//! name: String,
//! phone: u64,
//! }
//!
//! impl Hash for Person {
//! fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H) {
//! self.id.hash(state);
//! self.phone.hash(state);
//! }
//! }
//!
//! let person1 = Person {
//! id: 5,
//! name: "Janet".to_string(),
//! phone: 555_666_7777,
//! };
//! let person2 = Person {
//! id: 5,
//! name: "Bob".to_string(),
//! phone: 555_666_7777,
//! };
//!
//! assert_eq!(calculate_hash(&person1), calculate_hash(&person2));
//!
//! fn calculate_hash<T: Hash>(t: &T) -> u64 {
//! let mut s = DefaultHasher::new();
//! t.hash(&mut s);
//! s.finish()
//! }
//! ```
