// This file provides the Google-internal implementation of the Wyhash
// algorithm.
//
// Wyhash is a fast hash function for hash tables, the fastest we've currently
// (late 2020) found that passes the SMHasher tests. The algorithm relies on
// intrinsic 128-bit multiplication for speed. This is not meant to be secure -
// just fast.
