PHP中使用最多的非Array莫属了,那Array是如何实现的?在PHP内部Array通过一个hashtable来实现,其中使用链接法解决hash冲突的问题,这样最坏情况下,查找Array元素的复杂度为O(N),最好则为1.
而其计算字符串hash值的方法如下,将源码摘出来以供查备:
static inline ulong zend_inline_hash_func(const char *arKey, uint nKeyLength)
{
register ulong hash = 5381; //此处初始值的设置有什么玄机么?
/* variant with the hash unrolled eight times */
for (; nKeyLength >= 8; nKeyLength -= 8) { //这种step=8的方式是为何?
hash = ((hash hash = ((hash hash = ((hash hash = ((hash hash = ((hash hash = ((hash hash = ((hash hash = ((hash }
switch (nKeyLength) {
case 7: hash = ((hash case 6: hash = ((hash case 5: hash = ((hash case 4: hash = ((hash case 3: hash = ((hash case 2: hash = ((hash case 1: hash = ((hash case 0: break;
EMPTY_SWITCH_DEFAULT_CASE()
}
return hash;//返回hash值
}
ps:对于以下函数,仍有两点不明:
hash = 5381设置的理由?
这种step=8的循环方式是为了效率么?
