Today starts the the review of std.hash package by Johannes Pfau. We go
with the usual cycle of two weeks for review and one week for voting.
Thus review ends on 22th of August, followed by voting that ends on 29th
of August.
Description:
std.hash.hash is a new module for Phobos defining an uniform interface
for hashes and checksums. It also provides some useful helper functions
to deal with this new API.
The std.hash package also includes:
I think "std.crypto" is a better name for the package. At first I
thought it contained an implementation of a Hash table.
Also note these entries in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function
Your package provides the later, not just any hash functions, but
*crypto*graphic hash functions. :-)
(and yes, I know I'm just discussing the name here, but names *are*
important)
You'll find very hard to convince anyone that crc32 is a cryptographic
hash function.
And this API is suited for both cryptographic hash and regular hash.
Many of them can be added in the future if need is met. I definitively
am for std.hash .
