lua-resty-xxhash

lua-resty-xxhash contains a LuaJIT FFI-bindings to xxHash, an Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm.

Installation

Just place xxhash.lua somewhere in your package.path, preferably under resty directory. If you are using OpenResty, the default location would be /usr/local/openresty/lualib/resty.

Compiling and Installing xxHash C-library

  1. First clone this repo: https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash
  2. Run gcc xxhash.c -O3 -o libxxhash.dylib -shared -fPIC (on Linux) or gcc xxhash.c -O3 -o libxxhash.dylib -shared (OS X)
  3. Place libxxhash.so somewhere in the default search path for dynamic libraries of your operating system (or modify xxhash.lua and point ffi_load "xxhash" with full path to libxxhash.so, e.g. local lib = ffi_load "/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/libxxhash.so").
