When using type maps the hash used for a given type T is usually the pointer value of the canonical type of T. In the rare cases where T doesn't have a canonical type, we were using a 'dynamic hash' computed by recursively walking the components of T and progressively building a hash that way. The dynamic hashing code hasn't been updated in a while and would need some overhaul to support hashing with schemes like MD5 or maybe sha even. It might be useful for various use cases that have been proposed by some users over the years but nobody was motivated enough to implement it. In the mean time, rather than trying to come up with a fully beefed up dynamic hashing code, we'd rather just return a constant number for non canonicalized types. In practise that amounts to forcing the code of the maps to always use structural comparison for those non canonicalized types. Note that the amount of non-canonicalized types should be fairly small. For now, the only non-canonicalized types should be declaration-only types and those are quite fast to compare anyway. This patch thus introduces a new hashing scheme for maps in the writer which just uses a numerical constant as the hash for non-canonicalized types. * include/abg-fwd.h (hash_as_canonical_type_or_constant): Declare ... * src/abg-ir.cc (hash_as_canonical_type_or_constant): ... new function. * src/abg-writer.cc (type_hasher::operator()): Use the new hash_as_canonical_type_or_constant. * tests/data/test-read-dwarf/test16-pr18904.so.abi: Adjust.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and Instrumentation Library. It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing ABI-relevant artifacts. The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or program. For a given library or program this set of quantities is called an ABI corpus. This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh, that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these differences. You are welcome to contribute to this project after reading the files CONTRIBUTING and COMMIT-LOG-GUIDELINES files in the source tree. Communicating with the maintainers of this project -- including sending patches to be include to the source code -- happens via email at libabigail@sourceware.org.
