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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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