fastdigest

Fast, memory constant hashing of R objects

Provides an R interface to Bob Jenkin's streaming,
non-cryptographic 'SpookyHash' hash algorithm for use in digest-based
comparisons of R objects. 'fastdigest' plugs directly into R's internal
serialization machinery, allowing digests of all R objects the serialize()
function supports, including reference-style objects via custom hooks. Speed is
high and scales linearly by object size; memory usage is constant and
negligible.
