Struct git_repository::oid [−][src]
#[repr(transparent)]pub struct oid { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
A borrowed reference to a hash identifying objects.
Future Proofing
In case we wish to support multiple hashes with the same length we cannot discriminate
using the slice length anymore. To make that work, we will use the high bits of the
internal bytes
slice length (a fat pointer, pointing to data and its length in bytes)
to encode additinoal information. Before accessing or returning the bytes, a new adjusted
slice will be constructed, while the high bits will be used to help resolving the
hash [
kind()][oid::kind()]
.
We expect to have quite a few bits available for such ‘conflict resolution’ as most hashes aren’t longer
than 64 bytes.
Implementations
Conversion
Access
The first byte of the hash, commonly used to partition a set of Id
s
Interpret this object id as raw byte slice.
Sha1 specific methods
Returns an array with a hexadecimal encoded version of the Sha1 hash this Id
represents.
Panics if this is not a Sha1 hash, as identifiable by ObjectId::kind()
.
Returns the bytes making up the Sha1.
Panics if this is not a Sha1 hash, as identifiable by ObjectId::kind()
.
