Adam Olsen <rha...@gmail.com> added the comment: Testing with a large set of ids is a good demonstration, but not proof. Forming a set of *all* possible values within a certain range is proof.
However, XOR does work (OR definitely does not) — it's a 1-to-1 transformation (reversible as you say.) Additionally, it still gives the unnaturally low collision rate when using sequential addresses, so there's no objection there. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5186> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
