//
// See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/dcjzJy-bSpw/tcZYBzQqAQAJ
// for some discussion about these unsafe conversions.
//
// In the future it's possible that compiler optimizations will make these
// unsafe operations unnecessary: https://golang.org/issue/2205.
//
// Both of these wrapper functions still incur function call overhead since they
// will not be inlined. We could write Go/asm copies of Sum64 and Digest.Write
// for strings to squeeze out a bit more speed. Mid-stack inlining should
// eventually fix this.

// Sum64String computes the 64-bit xxHash digest of s.
// It may be faster than Sum64([]byte(s)) by avoiding a copy.
