-@defun sxhash obj
+@defun sxhash-equal obj
This function returns a hash code for Lisp object @var{obj}.
This is an integer which reflects the contents of @var{obj}
and the other Lisp objects it points to.
-If two objects @var{obj1} and @var{obj2} are equal, then @code{(sxhash
-@var{obj1})} and @code{(sxhash @var{obj2})} are the same integer.
+If two objects @var{obj1} and @var{obj2} are @code{equal}, then
+@code{(sxhash-equal @var{obj1})} and @code{(sxhash-equal @var{obj2})}
+are the same integer.
-If the two objects are not equal, the values returned by @code{sxhash}
-are usually different, but not always; once in a rare while, by luck,
-you will encounter two distinct-looking objects that give the same
-result from @code{sxhash}.
+If the two objects are not @code{equal}, the values returned by
+@code{sxhash-equal} are usually different, but not always; once in a
+rare while, by luck, you will encounter two distinct-looking objects
+that give the same result from @code{sxhash-equal}.
+
+@b{Common Lisp note:} In Common Lisp a similar function is called
+@code{sxhash}. Emacs provides this name as a compatibility alias for
+@code{sxhash-equal}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun sxhash-eq obj
+This function returns a hash code for Lisp object @var{obj}. Its
+result reflects identity of @var{obj}, but not its contents.
+
+If two objects @var{obj1} and @var{obj2} are @code{eq}, then
+@code{(xhash @var{obj1})} and @code{(xhash @var{obj2})} are the same
+integer.
+@end defun
+
+@defun sxhash-eql obj
+This function returns a hash code for Lisp object @var{obj} suitable
+for @code{eql} comparison. I.e. it reflects identity of @var{obj}
+except for the case where the object is a float number, in which case
+hash code is generated for the value.
+
+If two objects @var{obj1} and @var{obj2} are @code{eql}, then
+@code{(xhash @var{obj1})} and @code{(xhash @var{obj2})} are the same
+integer.
@end defun
This example creates a hash table whose keys are strings that are
(defun case-fold-string= (a b)
(eq t (compare-strings a nil nil b nil nil t)))
(defun case-fold-string-hash (a)
- (sxhash (upcase a)))
+ (sxhash-equal (upcase a)))
(define-hash-table-test 'case-fold
'case-fold-string= 'case-fold-string-hash)
and equal-looking objects are considered the same key.
@example
-(define-hash-table-test 'contents-hash 'equal 'sxhash)
+(define-hash-table-test 'contents-hash 'equal 'sxhash-equal)
(make-hash-table :test 'contents-hash)
@end example
** The function 'redirect-debugging-output' now works on platforms
other than GNU/Linux.
++++
+** New functions 'sxhash-eq' and 'sxhash-eql' return hash codes of a
+Lisp object suitable for use with 'eq' and 'eql' correspondingly. If
+two objects are 'eq' ('eql'), then the result of 'sxhash-eq'
+('sxhash-eql') on them will be the same.
+
++++
+** Function 'sxhash' has been renamed to 'sxhash-equal' for
+consistency with the new functions. For compatibility, 'sxhash'
+remains as an alias to 'sxhash-equal'.
