Function hamming_rs::distance

pub fn distance(x: &[u8], y: &[u8]) -> u64

Computes hamming distance
Assumes x and y have same memory alignment
Uses highly optimized avx2 version if available
fallback on distance_faster if x and y have different alignment or if avx2 features are not available

Arguments

• x - a byte slice (prefer 32 byte alignment to get highest performance)
• y - same

Examples

use hamming_rs::distance;
let x: [u8] = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];
let y: [u8] = [0, 1, 3, 2, 4];
let dist = distance(x, y);
assert_eq!(2, dist);
