Function hash_value

boost::hash_value — Implementation of a hash function for integers.

Synopsis

std::size_t hash_value(int val);
std::size_t hash_value(unsigned int val);
std::size_t hash_value(long val);
std::size_t hash_value(unsigned long val);

Description

Generally shouldn't be called directly by users, instead they should use boost::hash, boost::hash_range or boost::hash_combine which call hash_value without namespace qualification so that overloads for custom types are found via ADL.

Notes: Overloads for other types supplied in other headers.

This is an extension to TR1


Returns: val
