Hello,
After addressing the ^ conversion showed by other people I have a
question. Why you need to hash a pointer ? Hashing a value is
interesting to reduce its compare time (taking collisions into account)
and/or verify message integrity, and hashing a pointer does not meet
none of this goals as it is process wide unique (no collisions) and its
size is the fastest compare operation (most architectures).
