Description

Generally shouldn't be called directly by users, instead they should use boost::hash, boost::hash_range or boost::hash_combine which call hash_value without namespace qualification so that overloads for custom types are found via ADL.

Notes:

This is an extension to TR1

Throws:

Only throws if a user supplied version of hash_value throws for an element of a container, or one of the types stored in a pair.

Returns:

Types	Returns
`bool`, `char`, `signed char`, `unsigned char`, `wchar_t`, `short`, `unsigned short`, `int`, `unsigned int`, `long`, `unsigned long`	`val`
`long long`, `unsigned long long`	`val` when `abs(val) <= std::numeric_limits<std::size_t>::max()`.
`float`, `double`, `long double`	An unspecified value, except that equal arguments shall yield the same result.
`T*`	An unspecified value, except that equal arguments shall yield the same result.
`T val[N]`, `const T val[N]`	`hash_range(val, val+N)`
`std:basic_string<Ch, std::char_traits<Ch>, A>`, `std::vector<T, A>`, `std::list<T, A>`, `std::deque<T, A>`, `std::set<K, C, A>`, `std::multiset<K, C, A>`, `std::map<K, T, C, A>`, `std::multimap<K, T, C, A>`	`hash_range(val.begin(), val.end())`
`std::pair<A, B>`	size_t seed = 0; hash_combine(seed, val.first); hash_combine(seed, val.second); return seed;
`std::complex<T>`	When `T` is a built in type and `val.imag() == 0`, the result is equal to `hash_value(val.real())`. Otherwise an unspecified value, except that equal arguments shall yield the same result.
