Introduction

What is spooky-c
This is a C version of Bob Jenkins’ spooky hash. The only advantage over Bob’s original version is that it is in C, not C++ and comes with some test and benchmark code. This is a very competitive hash function, but is somewhat non-portable. It should work on both big and little endian architectures, but will generate different hashes on them. It’s also optimized for 64-bit architectures. It will work on 32-bit architectures as well, but is much slower there.
