This is a native Go implementation of the excellent xxhash* algorithm, an extremely fast non-cryptographic Hash algorithm, working at speeds close to RAM limits.
- The C implementation is (Copyright (c) 2012-2014, Yann Collet)
go get github.com/OneOfOne/xxhash
- On Go 1.7+ the pure go version is faster than CGO for all inputs.
- Supports ChecksumString{32,64} xxhash{32,64}.WriteString, which uses no copies when it can, falls back to copy on appengine.
- The native version falls back to a less optimized version on appengine due to the lack of unsafe.
- Almost as fast as the mostly pure assembly version written by the brilliant cespare, while also supporting seeds.
- To manually toggle the appengine version build with
-tags safe.
