// +build !appengine // This file encapsulates usage of unsafe. // xxhash_safe.go contains the safe implementations. package xxhash import ( "unsafe" ) // In the future it's possible that compiler optimizations will make these // XxxString functions unnecessary by realizing that calls such as // Sum64([]byte(s)) don't need to copy s. See https://golang.org/issue/2205. // If that happens, even if we keep these functions they can be replaced with // the trivial safe code. // NOTE: The usual way of doing an unsafe string-to-[]byte conversion is: // // var b []byte // bh := (*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&b)) // bh.Data = (*reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&s)).Data // bh.Len = len(s) // bh.Cap = len(s) // // Unfortunately, as of Go 1.15.3 the inliner's cost model assigns a high enough // weight to this sequence of expressions that any function that uses it will // not be inlined. Instead, the functions below use a different unsafe // conversion designed to minimize the inliner weight and allow both to be // inlined. There is also a test (TestInlining) which verifies that these are // inlined. // // See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42739 for discussion. // Sum64String computes the 64-bit xxHash digest of s. // It may be faster than Sum64([]byte(s)) by avoiding a copy. func Sum64String(s string) uint64 { b := *(*[]byte)(unsafe.Pointer(&sliceHeader{s, len(s)})) return Sum64(b) } // WriteString adds more data to d.
