In general, I don't like the idea of std.meta.trait, and so I am
providing some guidance by deleting the entire namespace from the
standard library and compiler codebase.
My main criticism is that it's overcomplicated machinery that bloats
compile times and is ultimately unnecessary given the existence of Zig's
strong type system and reference traces.
Users who want this can create a third party package that provides this
functionality.
closes#18051
Use inline to vastly simplify the exposed API. This allows a
comptime-known endian parameter to be propogated, making extra functions
for a specific endianness completely unnecessary.
This reverts commit 0c99ba1eab, reversing
changes made to 5f92b070bf.
This caused a CI failure when it landed in master branch due to a
128-bit `@byteSwap` in std.mem.
XXH3 is the faster alternative to XXH64 which utilizes SIMD
when hashing large chunks of memory and similar mixing to
WyHash (64x64 -> 128 mul) for smaller inputs.

Not all hashes are added just yet as these need to be generated manually
from reference implementations as they are not included by default in
smhasher.
Improvements for xxHash performance, both on small keys as well as large slices.
* std.hash: make benchmarks consistent for xxhash
There is some odd behaviour in the timings for the XXHash benchmarks
introduced in 879f0b9, specifically the changes to the allocation in
benchmarkHash. The problem is somewhere in the difference between
9628243 and 9362d61 (these are commit that were force-pushed over but
can be found in PR #15917).
* std.hash: correctly calculate throughput in benchmark
* std.hash: add hashes per sec to small key output
* std.hash: add exact and small xxhash routines
* std.hash: add --small-only flag to benchmark
* std.hash.xxhash: extract stateless Accumulator type
* std.hash.xxhash: cleanup hash() and improve small key perf
* std.hash.xxhash: port xxhash64 changes to xxhash32
* std.hash: change benchmark --small-only flag to --include-array
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
