// 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", and the XOR changed to a sum:
|
||||
// "(h << 5) - h + c", 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).
