什么是ruby中的`hash`？

这是一个小调试帮助：

irb(main):001:0> hash
#=> 3220857809431415791

irb(main):002:0> defined? hash
#=> "method"

irb(main):003:0> method(:hash)
#=> #<Method: Object(Kernel)#hash>

您现在可以在线查找Object#hash1：

http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.1/Object.html#method-i-hash

或者在IRB：

irb(main):004:0> help "Object#hash"
= Object#hash

(from ruby core)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  obj.hash    -> fixnum

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generates a Fixnum hash value for this object.  This function must have the
property that a.eql?(b) implies a.hash == b.hash.

The hash value is used along with #eql? by the Hash class to determine if two
objects reference the same hash key.  Any hash value that exceeds the capacity
of a Fixnum will be truncated before being used.

The hash value for an object may not be identical across invocations or
implementations of Ruby.  If you need a stable identifier across Ruby
invocations and implementations you will need to generate one with a custom
method.


#=> nil
irb(main):005:0>

1对象(内核)#hash实际上意味着哈希是在内核中定义的,但是如Object的文档中所述：

Although the instance methods of Object are defined by the Kernel module,we have chosen to document them here for clarity.
