Expand description

Hash a raw pointer.

This can be used to hash a &T reference (which coerces to *const T implicitly) by its address rather than the value it points to (which is what the Hash for &T implementation does).

§Examples

use std::hash::{DefaultHasher, Hash, Hasher};
use std::ptr;

let five = 5;
let five_ref = &five;

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
ptr::hash(five_ref, &mut hasher);
let actual = hasher.finish();

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
(five_ref as *const i32).hash(&mut hasher);
let expected = hasher.finish();

assert_eq!(actual, expected);
