/* Notice extracted from xxHash homepage :

xxHash is an extremely fast Hash algorithm, running at RAM speed limits.
It also successfully passes all tests from the SMHasher suite.

Comparison (single thread, Windows Seven 32 bits, using SMHasher on a Core 2 Duo @3GHz)

Q.Score is a measure of quality of the hash function. 
It depends on successfully passing SMHasher test set. 
10 is a perfect score.

/*
These functions calculate the xxhash of an input provided in several small packets,
as opposed to an input provided as a single block.

It must be started with :
void* XXH32_init()
The function returns a pointer which holds the state of calculation.

This pointer must be provided as "void* state" parameter for XXH32_update().
XXH32_update() can be called as many times as necessary.
The user must provide a valid (allocated) input.
The function returns an error code, with 0 meaning OK, and any other value meaning there is an error.
Note that "len" is type "int", which means it is limited to 2^31-1. 
If your data is larger, it is recommended to chunk your data into blocks 
of size for example 2^30 (1GB) to avoid any "int" overflow issue.

Finally, you can end the calculation anytime, by using XXH32_digest().
This function returns the final 32-bits hash.
You must provide the same "void* state" parameter created by XXH32_init().
Memory will be freed by XXH32_digest().

These functions allow user application to make its own allocation for state.

XXH32_sizeofState() is used to know how much space must be allocated for the xxHash 32-bits state.
Note that the state must be aligned to access 'long long' fields. Memory must be allocated and referenced by a pointer.
This pointer must then be provided as 'state' into XXH32_resetState(), which initializes the state.

For static allocation purposes (such as allocation on stack, or freestanding systems without malloc()),
use the structure XXH32_stateSpace_t, which will ensure that memory space is large enough and correctly aligned to access 'long long' fields.

This function does the same as XXH32_digest(), generating a 32-bit hash,
