Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual ACE_Hashable::~ACE_Hashable

(

void

)

[virtual]

Destructor.

)

[inline, protected]

Protected constructor.

Member Function Documentation

unsigned long ACE_Hashable::hash

(

void

)

const [virtual]

Computes and returns hash value. This "caches" the hash value to improve performance.

Definition at line 22 of file Hashable.cpp.

{
  // In doing the check below, we take chance of paying a performance
  // price when the hash value is zero.  But, that will (hopefully)
  // happen far less often than a non-zero value, so this caching
  // strategy should pay off, esp. if hash computation is expensive
  // relative to the simple comparison.

  if (this->hash_value_ == 0)
    this->hash_value_ = this->hash_i ();

  return this->hash_value_;
}

virtual unsigned long ACE_Hashable::hash_i

(

void

)

const [protected, pure virtual]

This is the method that actually performs the non-cached hash computation.
