Description

FarmHash is a family of hash functions.

FarmHash64 is a 64-bit fingerprint hash function that produces a hash value for a given string. It is designed to be fast and provide good hash distribution but is not suitable for cryptography applications.

The FarmHash32 function is also provided, which returns a 32-bit fingerprint hash for a string.

All members of the FarmHash family were designed with heavy reliance on previous work by Jyrki Alakuijala, Austin Appleby, Bob Jenkins, and others.

This is a port of the original Fingerprint64 (farmhashna::Hash64) code from Google's FarmHash (https://github.com/google/farmhash) in multiple languages by Nicola Asuni (Tecnick.com):

• C (header-only compatible with CPP)
• CGO (C wrapper)
• GO
• Java
• Javascript
• PHP
• Python (C wrapper)
• R (C wrapper)
• Rust
• Zig

Getting Started

The reference code of this application is written in header-only C language.

A Makefile is available to allows building the project in a Linux-compatible system with simple commands.
All the artifacts and reports produced using this Makefile are stored in the target folder inside each language directory.

To see all available options:

make help

Use the command make all to build and test all the implementations.
