/*
The Java's hashing algorithm for strings is a variation of D. J. Bernstein
hashing algorithm appeared here http://cr.yp.to/cdb/cdb.txt
and informally known as DJB33XX - DJB's 33 Times Xor.
Java uses DJB31XA, that is, 31 Times Add.
The original algorithm was a loop around
(h << 5) + h ^ c
(which is indeed h*33 ^ c); it was then changed to
(h << 5) - h ^ c
(so h*31^c: DJB31XX), and the XOR changed to a sum:
(h << 5) - h + c
(DJB31XA), which can save some assembly instructions.
Still, we can avoid writing the multiplication as "(h << 5) - h"
-- the compiler will turn it into a shift and an addition anyway
(for instance, gcc 4.4 does that even at -O0).

the qHash() overloads offered by Qt - may change at any time. You
\b{must not} rely on the fact that qHashBits() will give the same
results (for the same inputs) across different Qt versions.

\inmodule QtCore
\brief The QHash class is a template class that provides a hash-table-based dictionary.
\ingroup tools
\ingroup shared
\reentrant
QHash\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
stores (key, value) pairs and provides very fast lookup of the
value associated with a key.
QHash provides very similar functionality to QMap. The
differences are:
\list
\li QHash provides faster lookups than QMap. (See \l{Algorithmic
Complexity} for details.)
\li When iterating over a QMap, the items are always sorted by
key. With QHash, the items are arbitrarily ordered.
\li The key type of a QMap must provide operator<(). The key
type of a QHash must provide operator==() and a global
hash function called qHash() (see \l{qHash}).
\endlist
Here's an example QHash with QString keys and \c int values:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 0
To insert a (key, value) pair into the hash, you can use operator[]():
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 1
This inserts the following three (key, value) pairs into the
QHash: ("one", 1), ("three", 3), and ("seven", 7). Another way to
insert items into the hash is to use insert():
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 2
To look up a value, use operator[]() or value():
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 3
If there is no item with the specified key in the hash, these
functions return a \l{default-constructed value}.
If you want to check whether the hash contains a particular key,
use contains():
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 4
There is also a value() overload that uses its second argument as
a default value if there is no item with the specified key:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 5
In general, we recommend that you use contains() and value()
rather than operator[]() for looking up a key in a hash. The
reason is that operator[]() silently inserts an item into the
hash if no item exists with the same key (unless the hash is
const). For example, the following code snippet will create 1000
items in memory:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 6
To avoid this problem, replace \c hash[i] with \c hash.value(i)
in the code above.
Internally, QHash uses a hash table to perform lookups. This
hash table automatically grows and shrinks to
provide fast lookups without wasting too much memory. You can
still control the size of the hash table by calling reserve() if
you already know approximately how many items the QHash will
contain, but this isn't necessary to obtain good performance. You
can also call capacity() to retrieve the hash table's size.
If you want to navigate through all the (key, value) pairs stored
in a QHash, you can use an iterator. QHash provides both
\l{Java-style iterators} (QHashIterator and QMutableHashIterator)
and \l{STL-style iterators} (QHash::const_iterator and
QHash::iterator). Here's how to iterate over a QHash<QString,
int> using a Java-style iterator:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 7
Here's the same code, but using an STL-style iterator:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 8
QHash is unordered, so an iterator's sequence cannot be assumed
to be predictable. If ordering by key is required, use a QMap.
Normally, a QHash allows only one value per key. If you call
insert() with a key that already exists in the QHash, the
previous value is erased. For example:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 9
If you only need to extract the values from a hash (not the keys),
you can also use \l{foreach}:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 12
Items can be removed from the hash in several ways. One way is to
call remove(); this will remove any item with the given key.
Another way is to use QMutableHashIterator::remove(). In addition,
you can clear the entire hash using clear().
QHash's key and value data types must be \l{assignable data
types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
instead, store a QWidget *.
\target qHash
\section2 The qHash() hashing function
A QHash's key type has additional requirements other than being an
assignable data type: it must provide operator==(), and there must also be
a qHash() function in the type's namespace that returns a hash value for an
argument of the key's type.
The qHash() function computes a numeric value based on a key. It
can use any algorithm imaginable, as long as it always returns
the same value if given the same argument. In other words, if
\c{e1 == e2}, then \c{qHash(e1) == qHash(e2)} must hold as well.
However, to obtain good performance, the qHash() function should
attempt to return different hash values for different keys to the
largest extent possible.
For a key type \c{K}, the qHash function must have one of these signatures:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 32
The two-arguments overloads take an unsigned integer that should be used to
seed the calculation of the hash function. This seed is provided by QHash
in order to prevent a family of \l{algorithmic complexity attacks}. If both
a one-argument and a two-arguments overload are defined for a key type,
the latter is used by QHash (note that you can simply define a
two-arguments version, and use a default value for the seed parameter).
Here's a partial list of the C++ and Qt types that can serve as keys in a
QHash: any integer type (char, unsigned long, etc.), any pointer type,
QChar, QString, and QByteArray. For all of these, the \c <QHash> header
defines a qHash() function that computes an adequate hash value. Many other
Qt classes also declare a qHash overload for their type; please refer to
the documentation of each class.
If you want to use other types as the key, make sure that you provide
operator==() and a qHash() implementation.
Example:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 13
In the example above, we've relied on Qt's global qHash(const
QString &, uint) to give us a hash value for the employee's name, and
XOR'ed this with the day they were born to help produce unique
hashes for people with the same name.
Note that the implementation of the qHash() overloads offered by Qt
may change at any time. You \b{must not} rely on the fact that qHash()
will give the same results (for the same inputs) across different Qt
versions.
\section2 Algorithmic complexity attacks
All hash tables are vulnerable to a particular class of denial of service
attacks, in which the attacker carefully pre-computes a set of different
keys that are going to be hashed in the same bucket of a hash table (or
even have the very same hash value). The attack aims at getting the
worst-case algorithmic behavior (O(n) instead of amortized O(1), see
\l{Algorithmic Complexity} for the details) when the data is fed into the
table.
In order to avoid this worst-case behavior, the calculation of the hash
value done by qHash() can be salted by a random seed, that nullifies the
attack's extent. This seed is automatically generated by QHash once per
process, and then passed by QHash as the second argument of the
two-arguments overload of the qHash() function.
This randomization of QHash is enabled by default. Even though programs
should never depend on a particular QHash ordering, there may be situations
where you temporarily need deterministic behavior, for example for debugging or
regression testing. To disable the randomization, define the environment
variable \c QT_HASH_SEED to have the value 0. Alternatively, you can call
the qSetGlobalQHashSeed() function with the value 0.

is an underestimate, the worst that will happen is that the QHash

\inmodule QtCore
\brief The QHash::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QHash and QMultiHash.
QHash features both \l{STL-style iterators} and \l{Java-style
iterators}. The STL-style iterators are more low-level and more
cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are slightly faster
and, for developers who already know STL, have the advantage of
familiarity.
QHash\<Key, T\>::iterator allows you to iterate over a QHash (or
QMultiHash) and to modify the value (but not the key) associated
with a particular key. If you want to iterate over a const QHash,
you should use QHash::const_iterator. It is generally good
practice to use QHash::const_iterator on a non-const QHash as
well, unless you need to change the QHash through the iterator.
Const iterators are slightly faster, and can improve code
readability.
The default QHash::iterator constructor creates an uninitialized
iterator. You must initialize it using a QHash function like
QHash::begin(), QHash::end(), or QHash::find() before you can
start iterating. Here's a typical loop that prints all the (key,
value) pairs stored in a hash:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 17
Unlike QMap, which orders its items by key, QHash stores its
items in an arbitrary order.
Let's see a few examples of things we can do with a
QHash::iterator that we cannot do with a QHash::const_iterator.
Here's an example that increments every value stored in the QHash
by 2:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 18
Here's an example that removes all the items whose key is a
string that starts with an underscore character:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 19
The call to QHash::erase() removes the item pointed to by the
iterator from the hash, and returns an iterator to the next item.
Here's another way of removing an item while iterating:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 20
It might be tempting to write code like this:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 21
However, this will potentially crash in \c{++i}, because \c i is
a dangling iterator after the call to erase().
Multiple iterators can be used on the same hash. However, be
aware that any modification performed directly on the QHash has
the potential of dramatically changing the order in which the
items are stored in the hash, as they might cause QHash to rehash
its internal data structure. There is one notable exception:
QHash::erase(). This function can safely be called while
iterating, and won't affect the order of items in the hash. If you
need to keep iterators over a long period of time, we recommend
that you use QMap rather than QHash.
\warning Iterators on implicitly shared containers do not work
exactly like STL-iterators. You should avoid copying a container
while iterators are active on that container. For more information,
read \l{Implicit sharing iterator problem}.

\brief The QMultiHash class is a convenience QHash subclass that provides multi-valued hashes.
\ingroup tools
\ingroup shared
\reentrant
QMultiHash\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}.
It inherits QHash and extends it with a few convenience functions
that make it more suitable than QHash for storing multi-valued
hashes. A multi-valued hash is a hash that allows multiple values
with the same key.
Because QMultiHash inherits QHash, all of QHash's functionality also
applies to QMultiHash. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
whether the hash is empty, and you can traverse a QMultiHash using
QHash's iterator classes (for example, QHashIterator). But opposed to
QHash, it provides an insert() function will allow the insertion of
multiple items with the same key. The replace() function corresponds to
QHash::insert(). It also provides convenient operator+() and
operator+=().
Unlike QMultiMap, QMultiHash does not provide and ordering of the
inserted items. The only guarantee is that items that
share the same key will appear consecutively, from the most
recently to the least recently inserted value.
Example:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 24
Unlike QHash, QMultiHash provides no operator[]. Use value() or
replace() if you want to access the most recently inserted item
with a certain key.
If you want to retrieve all the values for a single key, you can
use values(const Key &key), which returns a QList<T>:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 25
The items that share the same key are available from most
recently to least recently inserted.
A more efficient approach is to call find() to get
the STL-style iterator for the first item with a key and iterate from
there:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 26
QMultiHash's key and value data types must be \l{assignable data
types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, QMultiHash's key type
must provide operator==(), and there must also be a qHash() function
in the type's namespace that returns a hash value for an argument of the
key's type. See the QHash documentation for details.

Constructs a multi-hash with a copy of each of the elements in the iterator range
[\a begin, \a end). Either the elements iterated by the range must be
objects with \c{first} and \c{second} data members (like \c{QPair},
\c{std::pair}, etc.) convertible to \c Key and to \c T respectively; or the
iterators must have \c{key()} and \c{value()} member functions, returning a
key convertible to \c Key and a value convertible to \c T respectively.

Inserts a new item with the \a key and a value of \a value.

is replaced with \a value.
If there are multiple items with the \a key, the most
recently inserted item's value is replaced with \a value.

Inserts a new item with the \a key and a value of \a value.

function will simply create a new one. (This behavior is
different from replace(), which overwrites the value of an
existing item.)
