@Alex Crichton, @Dan Gohman, I think I found a bug but I don't know exactly where things are going wrong: I hash the contents of a file and emit the result, but the result is different when I run the program as a rustc-compiled binary and as a wasm32-wasi file run in Wasmtime. Any ideas?

I created an example here: https://github.com/abrown/hashing-example

hm that repo is a 404, but what hash algorithm are you using?

sorry, just made it public

ah yeah the Hash trait is not architecture-independent

it hashes usize differently on 32 and 64-bit platforms

ooooh

so if I get rid of the trait and do the hashing manually I should get the same result, right?

you should yeah

Where does it hash a usize? Does Hash implicitly hash the length of a slice?

Aha, perhaps it does: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/src/core/hash/mod.rs.html#669

Which suggests that a way to avoid that would be to call hash_slice instead.

ah yeah it's in hashing slices which hashes the length
