wmem_init_hashing()

WS_DLL_LOCAL void wmem_init_hashing

(

void

)

Initialize internal hashing parameters for the wmem subsystem.

Generates random values used to seed the hashing mechanism, including a random odd multiplier and a preseed value. These values help randomize hash behavior to reduce collision risks and improve distribution.

This function should be called once during initialization before any hashing operations.
