Struct git_repository::oid
source · [−]#[repr(transparent)]pub struct oid { /* private fields */ }
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
Try to create a shared object id from a slice of bytes representing a hash digest
Access
The first byte of the hash, commonly used to partition a set of Id
s
Interpret this object id as raw byte slice.
Return a type which can display itself in hexadecimal form with the len
amount of characters.
Sha1 specific methods
Write ourselves to the out
in hexadecimal notation, returning the amount of written bytes.
Panics if the buffer isn’t big enough to hold twice as many bytes as the current binary size.
