// Package deephash hashes a Go value recursively, in a predictable order,
// without looping. The hash is only valid within the lifetime of a program.
// Users should not store the hash on disk or send it over the network.
// The hash is sufficiently strong and unique such that
// Hash(x) == Hash(y) is an appropriate replacement for x == y.
//
// The definition of equality is identical to reflect.DeepEqual except:
//	* Floating-point values are compared based on the raw bits,
//	  which means that NaNs (with the same bit pattern) are treated as equal.
//	* Types which implement interface { AppendTo([]byte) []byte } use
//	  the AppendTo method to produce a textual representation of the value.
//	  Thus, two values are equal if AppendTo produces the same bytes.
//
// WARNING: This package, like most of the tailscale.com Go module,
// should be considered Tailscale-internal; we make no API promises.

// There is much overlap between the theory of serialization and hashing.
// A hash (useful for determining equality) can be produced by printing a value
// and hashing the output. The format must:
//	* be deterministic such that the same value hashes to the same output, and
//	* be parsable such that the same value can be reproduced by the output.
//
// The logic below hashes a value by printing it to a hash.Hash.
// To be parsable, it assumes that we know the Go type of each value:
//	* scalar types (e.g., bool or int32) are printed as fixed-width fields.
//	* list types (e.g., strings, slices, and AppendTo buffers) are prefixed
//	  by a fixed-width length field, followed by the contents of the list.
//	* slices, arrays, and structs print each element/field consecutively.
//	* interfaces print with a 1-byte prefix indicating whether it is nil.
//	  If non-nil, it is followed by a fixed-width field of the type index,
//	  followed by the format of the underlying value.
//	* pointers print with a 1-byte prefix indicating whether the pointer is
//	  1) nil, 2) previously seen, or 3) newly seen. Previously seen pointers are
//	  followed by a fixed-width field with the index of the previous pointer.
//	  Newly seen pointers are followed by the format of the underlying value.
//	* maps print with a 1-byte prefix indicating whether the map pointer is
//	  1) nil, 2) previously seen, or 3) newly seen. Previously seen pointers
//	  are followed by a fixed-width field of the index of the previous pointer.
//	  Newly seen maps are printed as a fixed-width field with the XOR of the
//	  hash of every map entry. With a sufficiently strong hash, this value is
//	  theoretically "parsable" by looking up the hash in a magical map that
//	  returns the set of entries for that given hash.
