php hash算法实现数组的方法

static inline ulong zend_inline_hash_func(const char *arKey, uint nKeyLength)
{
register ulong hash = 5381; //此处初始值的设置有什么玄机么？
/* variant with the hash unrolled eight times */
for (; nKeyLength >= 8; nKeyLength -= 8) { //这种step=8的方式是为何？
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++; //比直接*33要快
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++;
}
switch (nKeyLength) {
case 7: hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++; /* fallthrough... */ //此处是将剩余的字符hash
case 6: hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++; /* fallthrough... */
case 5: hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++; /* fallthrough... */
case 4: hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *arKey++; /* fallthrough... */

case 0: break;
EMPTY_SWITCH_DEFAULT_CASE()
}
return hash;//返回hash值
}
