"""

|
This algorithm was created for sdbm (a public-domain reimplementation of ndbm)
|
|
database library.
|
|
It was found to do well in scrambling bits, causing better distribution of the keys
|
|
and fewer splits.
|
|
It also happens to be a good general hashing function with good distribution.
|
|
The actual function (pseudo code) is:
|
|
for i in i..len(str):
|
|
hash(i) = hash(i - 1) * 65599 + str[i];
|
|
|
|
What is included below is the faster version used in gawk. [there is even a faster,
|
|
duff-device version]
|
|
The magic constant 65599 was picked out of thin air while experimenting with
|
|
different constants.
|
|
It turns out to be a prime.
|
|
This is one of the algorithms used in berkeley db (see sleepycat) and elsewhere.
