Struct template hash

boost::hash — A TR1 compliant hash function object.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/functional/hash.hpp>

template<typename T> 
struct hash : public std::unary_function<T, std::size_t> {
  std::size_t operator()(T const&) const;
};

Description

std::size_t operator()(T const& val) const;

Returns:

hash_value(val)

Notes:

The call to hash_value is unqualified, so that custom overloads can be found via argument dependent lookup.

This is not defined when the macro BOOST_HASH_NO_EXTENSIONS is defined. The specializations are still defined, so only the specializations required by TR1 are defined.

Throws:

Only throws if hash_value(T) throws.
