31 Hash Tables
33 @cindex Hash tables
34 BFD provides a simple set of hash table functions. Routines
35 are provided to initialize a hash table, to free a hash table,
36 to look up a string in a hash table and optionally create an
37 entry for it, and to traverse a hash table. There is
38 currently no routine to delete an string from a hash table.
40 The basic hash table does not permit any data to be stored
41 with a string. However, a hash table is designed to present a
42 base class from which other types of hash tables may be
43 derived. These derived types may store additional information
44 with the string. Hash tables were implemented in this way,
45 rather than simply providing a data pointer in a hash table
46 entry, because they were designed for use by the linker back
47 ends. The linker may create thousands of hash table entries,
48 and the overhead of allocating private data and storing and
49 following pointers becomes noticeable.
51 The basic hash table code is in <<hash.c>>.

65 @findex bfd_hash_table_init
66 @findex bfd_hash_table_init_n
67 To create a hash table, create an instance of a <<struct
68 bfd_hash_table>> (defined in <<bfd.h>>) and call
69 <<bfd_hash_table_init>> (if you know approximately how many
70 entries you will need, the function <<bfd_hash_table_init_n>>,
71 which takes a @var{size} argument, may be used).
72 <<bfd_hash_table_init>> returns <<FALSE>> if some sort of
73 error occurs.
75 @findex bfd_hash_newfunc
76 The function <<bfd_hash_table_init>> take as an argument a
77 function to use to create new entries. For a basic hash
78 table, use the function <<bfd_hash_newfunc>>. @xref{Deriving
79 a New Hash Table Type}, for why you would want to use a
80 different value for this argument.
82 @findex bfd_hash_allocate
83 <<bfd_hash_table_init>> will create an objalloc which will be
84 used to allocate new entries. You may allocate memory on this
85 objalloc using <<bfd_hash_allocate>>.
87 @findex bfd_hash_table_free
88 Use <<bfd_hash_table_free>> to free up all the memory that has
89 been allocated for a hash table. This will not free up the
90 <<struct bfd_hash_table>> itself, which you must provide.
92 @findex bfd_hash_set_default_size
93 Use <<bfd_hash_set_default_size>> to set the default size of
94 hash table to use.

99 Looking up or entering a string
101 @findex bfd_hash_lookup
102 The function <<bfd_hash_lookup>> is used both to look up a
103 string in the hash table and to create a new entry.
105 If the @var{create} argument is <<FALSE>>, <<bfd_hash_lookup>>
106 will look up a string. If the string is found, it will
107 returns a pointer to a <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>. If the
108 string is not found in the table <<bfd_hash_lookup>> will
109 return <<NULL>>. You should not modify any of the fields in
110 the returns <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>.
112 If the @var{create} argument is <<TRUE>>, the string will be
113 entered into the hash table if it is not already there.
114 Either way a pointer to a <<struct bfd_hash_entry>> will be
115 returned, either to the existing structure or to a newly
116 created one. In this case, a <<NULL>> return means that an
117 error occurred.
119 If the @var{create} argument is <<TRUE>>, and a new entry is
120 created, the @var{copy} argument is used to decide whether to
121 copy the string onto the hash table objalloc or not. If
122 @var{copy} is passed as <<FALSE>>, you must be careful not to
123 deallocate or modify the string as long as the hash table
124 exists.

129 Traversing a hash table
131 @findex bfd_hash_traverse
132 The function <<bfd_hash_traverse>> may be used to traverse a
133 hash table, calling a function on each element. The traversal
134 is done in a random order.
136 <<bfd_hash_traverse>> takes as arguments a function and a
137 generic <<void *>> pointer. The function is called with a
138 hash table entry (a <<struct bfd_hash_entry *>>) and the
139 generic pointer passed to <<bfd_hash_traverse>>. The function
140 must return a <<boolean>> value, which indicates whether to
141 continue traversing the hash table. If the function returns
142 <<FALSE>>, <<bfd_hash_traverse>> will stop the traversal and
143 return immediately.

148 Deriving a new hash table type
150 Many uses of hash tables want to store additional information
151 which each entry in the hash table. Some also find it
152 convenient to store additional information with the hash table
153 itself. This may be done using a derived hash table.
155 Since C is not an object oriented language, creating a derived
156 hash table requires sticking together some boilerplate
157 routines with a few differences specific to the type of hash
158 table you want to create.
160 An example of a derived hash table is the linker hash table.
161 The structures for this are defined in <<bfdlink.h>>. The
162 functions are in <<linker.c>>.
164 You may also derive a hash table from an already derived hash
165 table. For example, the a.out linker backend code uses a hash
166 table derived from the linker hash table.

176 SUBSUBSECTION
177 Define the derived structures
179 You must define a structure for an entry in the hash table,
180 and a structure for the hash table itself.
182 The first field in the structure for an entry in the hash
183 table must be of the type used for an entry in the hash table
184 you are deriving from. If you are deriving from a basic hash
185 table this is <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>, which is defined in
186 <<bfd.h>>. The first field in the structure for the hash
187 table itself must be of the type of the hash table you are
188 deriving from itself. If you are deriving from a basic hash
189 table, this is <<struct bfd_hash_table>>.
191 For example, the linker hash table defines <<struct
192 bfd_link_hash_entry>> (in <<bfdlink.h>>). The first field,
193 <<root>>, is of type <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>. Similarly,
194 the first field in <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>>, <<table>>,
195 is of type <<struct bfd_hash_table>>.

199 SUBSUBSECTION
200 Write the derived creation routine
202 You must write a routine which will create and initialize an
203 entry in the hash table. This routine is passed as the
204 function argument to <<bfd_hash_table_init>>.
206 In order to permit other hash tables to be derived from the
207 hash table you are creating, this routine must be written in a
208 standard way.
210 The first argument to the creation routine is a pointer to a
211 hash table entry. This may be <<NULL>>, in which case the
212 routine should allocate the right amount of space. Otherwise
213 the space has already been allocated by a hash table type
214 derived from this one.
216 After allocating space, the creation routine must call the
217 creation routine of the hash table type it is derived from,
218 passing in a pointer to the space it just allocated. This
219 will initialize any fields used by the base hash table.
221 Finally the creation routine must initialize any local fields
222 for the new hash table type.
224 Here is a boilerplate example of a creation routine.
225 @var{function_name} is the name of the routine.
226 @var{entry_type} is the type of an entry in the hash table you
227 are creating. @var{base_newfunc} is the name of the creation
228 routine of the hash table type your hash table is derived
229 from.

253 . {* Initialize the local fields here. *}
255 . return (struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret;
258 DESCRIPTION
259 The creation routine for the linker hash table, which is in
260 <<linker.c>>, looks just like this example.
261 @var{function_name} is <<_bfd_link_hash_newfunc>>.
262 @var{entry_type} is <<struct bfd_link_hash_entry>>.
263 @var{base_newfunc} is <<bfd_hash_newfunc>>, the creation
264 routine for a basic hash table.
266 <<_bfd_link_hash_newfunc>> also initializes the local fields
267 in a linker hash table entry: <<type>>, <<written>> and
268 <<next>>.

272 SUBSUBSECTION
273 Write other derived routines
275 You will want to write other routines for your new hash table,
276 as well.
278 You will want an initialization routine which calls the
279 initialization routine of the hash table you are deriving from
280 and initializes any other local fields. For the linker hash
281 table, this is <<_bfd_link_hash_table_init>> in <<linker.c>>.
283 You will want a lookup routine which calls the lookup routine
284 of the hash table you are deriving from and casts the result.
285 The linker hash table uses <<bfd_link_hash_lookup>> in
286 <<linker.c>> (this actually takes an additional argument which
287 it uses to decide how to return the looked up value).
289 You may want a traversal routine. This should just call the
290 traversal routine of the hash table you are deriving from with
291 appropriate casts. The linker hash table uses
292 <<bfd_link_hash_traverse>> in <<linker.c>>.
294 These routines may simply be defined as macros. For example,
295 the a.out backend linker hash table, which is derived from the
296 linker hash table, uses macros for the lookup and traversal
297 routines. These are <<aout_link_hash_lookup>> and
298 <<aout_link_hash_traverse>> in aoutx.h.
