<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/hash.html" title="Struct template hash">boost::hash</a></code> is an implementation of
the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function" target="_top">hash function</a>
object specified by the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf" target="_top">Draft
Technical Report on C++ Library Extensions</a> (TR1). It is the default
hash function for <a class="link" href="unordered.html" title="Chapter 45. Boost.Unordered">Boost.Unordered</a>, <a class="link" href="intrusive/unordered_set_unordered_multiset.html" title="Semi-Intrusive unordered associative containers: unordered_set, unordered_multiset">Boost.Intrusive</a>'s

hash indicies and <a href="../../libs/bimap/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Bimap</a>'s
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">unordered_set_of</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
As it is compliant with <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf" target="_top">TR1</a>,
it will work with:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">

</li>
<li class="listitem">
floats
</li>
<li class="listitem">
pointers
</li>
<li class="listitem">
strings
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
It also implements the extension proposed by Peter Dimov in issue 6.18 of the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1837.pdf" target="_top">Library
Extension Technical Report Issues List</a> (page 63), this adds support

</li>
<li class="listitem">
