clippy::implicit_hasher: Checks for public impl or fn missing generalization over different hashers and implicitly defaulting to the default hashing algorithm (SipHash)

What it meansChecks for public impl or fn missing generalization over different hashers and implicitly defaulting to the default hashing algorithm (SipHash). It is in the pedantic group and off by default.

Does it matter?

HashMap or HashSet with custom hashers cannot be used with them.

Stricter lints with some false positives. Off by default; opt in with clippy::pedantic.

How to fix it

Clippy does not fix this one automatically (its suggestion may change behaviour, so it only shows it). Change the code by hand:

Flagged

impl<K: Hash + Eq, V> Serialize for HashMap<K, V> { }

pub fn foo(map: &mut HashMap<i32, i32>) { }

Write this instead

impl<K: Hash + Eq, V, S: BuildHasher> Serialize for HashMap<K, V, S> { }

pub fn foo<S: BuildHasher>(map: &mut HashMap<i32, i32, S>) { }

Turn it off, or on

It is off by default. To use it, set it to warn or deny:

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
implicit_hasher = "warn"

In code

#![warn(clippy::implicit_hasher)]

One run

cargo clippy -- -W clippy::implicit-hasher

The [lints] table needs Rust 1.74 or newer. In a workspace, put it under [workspace.lints.clippy] and add [lints] workspace = true to each member.

Clippy's own documentation

What it does

Checks for public impl or fn missing generalization over different hashers and implicitly defaulting to the default hashing algorithm (SipHash).

Why is this bad?

HashMap or HashSet with custom hashers cannot be used with them.

Known problems

Suggestions for replacing constructors can contain false-positives. Also applying suggestions can require modification of other pieces of code, possibly including external crates.

Example

impl<K: Hash + Eq, V> Serialize for HashMap<K, V> { }

pub fn foo(map: &mut HashMap<i32, i32>) { }

could be rewritten as

impl<K: Hash + Eq, V, S: BuildHasher> Serialize for HashMap<K, V, S> { }

pub fn foo<S: BuildHasher>(map: &mut HashMap<i32, i32, S>) { }
