-- This module defines a class, 'Hashable', for types that can be
-- converted to a hash value.  This class exists for the benefit of
-- hashing-based data structures.  The module provides instances for
-- most standard types.  Efficient instances for other types can be
-- generated automatically and effortlessly using the generics support
-- in GHC 7.2 and above.
--
-- The easiest way to get started is to use the 'hash' function. Here
-- is an example session with @ghci@.

-- $security
-- #security#
--
-- Applications that use hash-based data structures to store input
-- from untrusted users can be susceptible to \"hash DoS\", a class of
-- denial-of-service attack that uses deliberately chosen colliding
-- inputs to force an application into unexpectedly behaving with
-- quadratic time complexity.
--
-- At this time, the string hashing functions used in this library are
-- susceptible to such attacks and users are recommended to either use
-- a 'Data.Map' to store keys derived from untrusted input or to use a
-- hash function (e.g. SipHash) that's resistant to such attacks. A
-- future version of this library might ship with such hash functions.

-- $generics
--
-- Beginning with GHC 7.2, the recommended way to make instances of
-- 'Hashable' for most types is to use the compiler's support for
-- automatically generating default instances.

-- > instance Hashable a => Hashable (Foo a)
-- >
-- > data Colour = Red | Green | Blue
-- >               deriving Generic
-- >
-- > instance Hashable Colour
--
-- If you omit a body for the instance declaration, GHC will generate
-- a default instance that correctly and efficiently hashes every
-- constructor and parameter.

-- $generic_err
--
-- Suppose you intend to use the generic machinery to automatically
-- generate a 'Hashable' instance.
--
-- > data Oops = Oops
-- >      -- forgot to add "deriving Generic" here!
-- >
-- > instance Hashable Oops
--
-- And imagine that, as in the example above, you forget to add a
-- \"@deriving 'Generic'@\" clause to your data type. At compile time,
-- you will get an error message from GHC that begins roughly as
-- follows:
--
-- > No instance for (GHashable (Rep Oops))
--
-- This error can be confusing, as 'GHashable' is not exported (it is
-- an internal typeclass used by this library's generics machinery).
-- The correct fix is simply to add the missing \"@deriving
-- 'Generic'@\".

-- $blocks
--
-- To maintain high quality hashes, new 'Hashable' instances should be
-- built using existing 'Hashable' instances, combinators, and hash
-- functions.
--
-- The functions below can be used when creating new instances of
-- 'Hashable'.  For example, for many string-like types the
-- 'hashWithSalt' method can be defined in terms of either
-- 'hashPtrWithSalt' or 'hashByteArrayWithSalt'.  Here's how you could
-- implement an instance for the 'B.ByteString' data type, from the
-- @bytestring@ package:
--
-- > import qualified Data.ByteString as B
-- > import qualified Data.ByteString.Internal as B
-- > import qualified Data.ByteString.Unsafe as B
-- > import Data.Hashable
-- > import Foreign.Ptr (castPtr)
-- >
-- > instance Hashable B.ByteString where
-- >     hashWithSalt salt bs = B.inlinePerformIO $
-- >                            B.unsafeUseAsCStringLen bs $ \(p, len) ->
-- >                            hashPtrWithSalt p (fromIntegral len) salt

-- $multiple-fields
--
-- Hash constructors with multiple fields by chaining 'hashWithSalt':
--
-- > data Date = Date Int Int Int
-- >
-- > instance Hashable Date where
-- >     hashWithSalt s (Date yr mo dy) =
-- >         s `hashWithSalt`
-- >         yr `hashWithSalt`
-- >         mo `hashWithSalt` dy
--
-- If you need to chain hashes together, use 'hashWithSalt' and follow
-- this recipe:
--
-- > combineTwo h1 h2 = h1 `hashWithSalt` h2

-- $multiple-ctors
--
-- For a type with several value constructors, there are a few
-- possible approaches to writing a 'Hashable' instance.
--
-- If the type is an instance of 'Enum', the easiest path is to
-- convert it to an 'Int', and use the existing 'Hashable' instance
-- for 'Int'.
--
-- > data Color = Red | Green | Blue
-- >              deriving Enum
-- >
-- > instance Hashable Color where
-- >     hashWithSalt = hashUsing fromEnum
--
-- If the type's constructors accept parameters, it is important to
-- distinguish the constructors. To distinguish the constructors, add
-- a different integer to the hash computation of each constructor:
--
-- > data Time = Days Int
-- >           | Weeks Int
-- >           | Months Int
-- >
-- > instance Hashable Time where
-- >     hashWithSalt s (Days n)   = s `hashWithSalt`
-- >                                 (0::Int) `hashWithSalt` n
-- >     hashWithSalt s (Weeks n)  = s `hashWithSalt`
-- >                                 (1::Int) `hashWithSalt` n
-- >     hashWithSalt s (Months n) = s `hashWithSalt`
-- >                                 (2::Int) `hashWithSalt` n
