.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions have been designed as a fast, extensible alternative to
|
|
the usual hash table functions.
|
|
They provide storage and retrieval of records indexed by keys,
|
|
where a key is a contiguous sequence of bytes at a fixed position in
|
|
each record.
|
|
Keys can either be NUL-terminated strings or fixed-size memory areas.
|
|
All functions take a pointer to an ohash structure as the
|
|
.Fa h
|
|
function argument.
|
|
Storage for this structure should be provided by user code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_init
|
|
initializes the table to store roughly 2 to the power
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
elements.
|
|
.Fa info
|
|
holds the position of the key in each record, and two pointers to
|
|
.Xr calloc 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr free 3 Ns -like
|
|
functions, to use for managing the table internal storage.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_delete
|
|
frees storage internal to
|
|
.Fa h .
|
|
Elements themselves should be freed by the user first, using for instance
|
|
.Fn ohash_first
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_next .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup_interval
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup_memory
|
|
are the basic look-up element functions.
|
|
The hashing function result is provided by the user as
|
|
.Fa hv .
|
|
These return a
|
|
.Qq slot
|
|
in the ohash table
|
|
.Fa h ,
|
|
to be used with
|
|
.Fn ohash_find ,
|
|
.Fn ohash_insert ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn ohash_remove .
|
|
This slot is only valid up to the next call to
|
|
.Fn ohash_insert
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn ohash_remove .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup_interval
|
|
handles string-like keys.
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup_interval
|
|
assumes the key is the interval between
|
|
.Fa start
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa end ,
|
|
exclusive,
|
|
though the actual elements stored in the table should only contain
|
|
NUL-terminated keys.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup_memory
|
|
assumes the key is the memory area starting at
|
|
.Fa k
|
|
of size
|
|
.Fa s .
|
|
All bytes are significant in key comparison.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_find
|
|
retrieves an element from a slot
|
|
.Fa i
|
|
returned by the
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup*
|
|
functions.
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the slot is empty.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_insert
|
|
inserts a new element
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
at slot
|
|
.Fa i .
|
|
Slot
|
|
.Fa i
|
|
must be empty and element
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
must have a key corresponding to the
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup*
|
|
call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_remove
|
|
removes the element at slot
|
|
.Fa i .
|
|
It returns the removed element, for user code to dispose of, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the slot was empty.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_first
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_next
|
|
can be used to access all elements in an ohash table, like this:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
for (n = ohash_first(h, &i); n != NULL; n = ohash_next(h, &i))
|
|
do_something_with(n);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa i
|
|
points to an auxiliary unsigned integer used to record the current position
|
|
in the ohash table.
|
|
Those functions are safe to use even while entries are added to/removed
|
|
from the table, but in such a case they do not guarantee that new entries
|
|
will be returned.
|
|
As a special case, they can safely be used to free elements in the table.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_entries
|
|
returns the number of elements in the hash table.
|
|
.Sh STORAGE HANDLING
|
|
Only
|
|
.Fn ohash_init ,
|
|
.Fn ohash_insert ,
|
|
.Fn ohash_remove
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_delete
|
|
may call the user-supplied memory functions.
|
|
It is the responsibility of the user memory allocation code to verify
|
|
that those calls did not fail.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If memory allocation fails,
|
|
.Fn ohash_init
|
|
returns a useless hash table.
|
|
.Fn ohash_insert
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_remove
|
|
still perform the requested operation, but the returned table should be
|
|
considered read-only.
|
|
It can still be accessed by
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup* ,
|
|
.Fn ohash_find ,
|
|
.Fn ohash_first
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_next
|
|
to dump relevant information to disk before aborting.
|
|
.Sh THREAD SAFETY
|
|
The open hashing functions are not thread-safe by design.
|
|
In particular, in a threaded environment, there is no guarantee that a
|
|
.Qq slot
|
|
will not move between a
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup*
|
|
and a
|
|
.Fn ohash_find ,
|
|
.Fn ohash_insert
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn ohash_remove
|
|
call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Multi-threaded applications should explicitly protect ohash table access.
