Interestingly newer, supposedly "more secure" digest algorithms are also very often significantly faster. I don't think we want any of the ones mentioned here, I think we want one of the candidates is the SHA3 competition which had truly stellar software implementation throughput. I'm hoping to add support for such a digest algorithm to LLVM soon, as there are many folks who want to consume this information: modules, merge function pass, debug info, and the linker. <br>

Nice, Is it performant in size as well as speed too ?. Because lld would need to store this information for every atom thats mergeable.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>How about using only the first 80 (or 96 or 128) bits of the digest? </div>

What are the SHA-3 variants that you think would suite these needs ?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
