perl - Perl が使用するハッシュ関数/アルゴリズムは何ですか?

Question

Perl が文字列をインデックスにマップするために使用するハッシュ関数/アルゴリズムに光を当てることができますか? 関連する読書はありますか？

[この回答は、5.28 で行われたハッシュ関数の変更よりも前のものです。perldelta for 5.28の「Default Hash Function Change」を参照してください。]

PERL_HASH_INTERNAL_で定義されhv.h、以下にコピーされます。

/* hash a key */
/* FYI: This is the "One-at-a-Time" algorithm by Bob Jenkins
 * from requirements by Colin Plumb.
 * (http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html) */
/* The use of a temporary pointer and the casting games
 * is needed to serve the dual purposes of
 * (a) the hashed data being interpreted as "unsigned char" (new since 5.8,
 *     a "char" can be either signed or unsigned, depending on the compiler)
 * (b) catering for old code that uses a "char"
 *
 * The "hash seed" feature was added in Perl 5.8.1 to perturb the results
 * to avoid "algorithmic complexity attacks".
 *
 * If USE_HASH_SEED is defined, hash randomisation is done by default
 * If USE_HASH_SEED_EXPLICIT is defined, hash randomisation is done
 * only if the environment variable PERL_HASH_SEED is set.
 * For maximal control, one can define PERL_HASH_SEED.
 * (see also perl.c:perl_parse()).
