Hi @3tieto,

On which branch are you? Are you on latest main?

This bug is supposed to be fixed since 2.3.0. There is even a test for it cargo test hasher_handles_empty_inputs --features avx2

If I run cargo bench --no-fail-fast -F=avx2 I do not have any issue on my end

    Add Hasher write_x primitives (#42)

    * Add specialized write_u32

    * Fix hashset benchmark accurracy

    * Implement all types

    * Fix build

    * Fix avx2

    * Add mandatory 0 length check to avoid SIGSEGV and add test

    * Version 2.3.0

Is it running in a virtualized environment? (I see QEMU)
Also, are other tests passing? (If you comment out hasher_handles_empty_inputs)

[3tieto]

i run in my vps https://contabo.com/

use rustc 1.76.0-nightly (21cce21d8 2023-12-11)

always crash

[3tieto]

i create a tmp user for this error
just
❯ ssh tmp@38.242.220.222
password PXeF5q53u9vo

cd ~/gxhash
run test

Thx for the SSH.
The issue is that your machine does not support VAES:

See on my machine I have this flag:

The avx2 check is not sufficient. I thought avx2 implied vaes, but it seems it's not always the case. A check must be added in the code.

gxhash/src/gxhash/platform/mod.rs

Line 5 in 8e109d9

#[cfg(all(feature = "avx2", target_arch = "x86_64", target_feature = "avx2"))]

I'll patch this by adding the vaes check, even though the flag will remain named avx2 (which is misleading now)

This should be enough given that there won't be avx2 feature flag anymore with the hybrid gxhash #34

[xxaier]

I look forward to the release of hybrid.

Addressed with v3.0.0 (hybrid)
