## Detailed Description

The helper class to represent the efficient "key" for access.

Essentially it is a bit modified version ("boost-free") of the original class stringKey by Gerhard Raven, which is heavily used now in HLT

Attention
  NEVER use the actual hash value for anything stored in files, as it is not guaranteed that the hashing scheme will remain the same.

bool Gaudi::StringKey::__eq__ | ( | const StringKey & | right | ) | const

equality operator for python

Definition at line 44 of file StringKey.cpp.

bool Gaudi::StringKey::__eq__ | ( | const std::string & | right | ) | const

equality operators for python

Definition at line 48 of file StringKey.cpp.

the actual access to the hash

Attention
  NEVER use the actual hash value for anything stored in files, as it is not guaranteed that the hashing scheme will remain the same. The two reason for this function are:
  - transparent usage of this object for hashmap-like containers
  - Python the actual hash value

less key It can be used as a key for std::map, e.g.

`std::map<StringKey,double>` Note that with such maps one can gain if using prehashed key:

typedef std::map<StringKey,double> MAP ;
const StringKey& key = ... ;
const MAP& m = ... ;
// EFFICIENT:
MAP::const_iterator i1 = m.find ( key ) ;
// CAN BE VERY INEFICIENT:
MAP::const_iterator i2 = m_find( "SomeLongKey,_e.g._TES_Locaiton" );
