/* 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)

SHA1-32         0.28 GB/s    10

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 multiple smaller packets,
as opposed to an input provided as a single block.

XXH state space must first be allocated, using either static or dynamic method provided above.

Start a new hash by initializing state with a seed, using XXHnn_reset().

Then, feed the hash state by calling XXHnn_update() as many times as necessary.
Obviously, input must be valid, meaning allocated and read accessible.
The function returns an error code, with 0 meaning OK, and any other value meaning there is an error.

Finally, you can produce a hash anytime, by using XXHnn_digest().
This function returns the final nn-bits hash.
You can nonetheless continue feeding the hash state with more input,
and therefore get some new hashes, by calling again XXHnn_digest().

When you are done, don't forget to free XXH state space, using typically XXHnn_freeState().
