22 /* This package implements basic hash table functionality. It is possible
23 to search for an entry, create an entry and destroy an entry.
25 Elements in the table are generic pointers.
27 The size of the table is not fixed; if the occupancy of the table
28 grows too high the hash table will be expanded.
30 The abstract data implementation is based on generalized Algorithm D
31 from Knuth's book "The art of computer programming". Hash table is
32 expanded by creation of new hash table and transferring elements from
33 the old table to the new table. */

794 I got it by extracting all the identifiers from all the source code
795 I had lying around in mid-1999, and testing many recurrences of
796 the form "H_n = H_{n-1} * K + c_n * L + M" where K, L, M were either
797 prime numbers or the appropriate identity. This was the best one.
798 I don't remember exactly what constituted "best", except I was
799 looking at bucket-length distributions mostly.
801 So it should be very good at hashing identifiers, but might not be
802 as good at arbitrary strings.
804 I'll add that it thoroughly trounces the hash functions recommended
805 for this use at http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/index.html, both
806 on speed and bucket distribution. I haven't tried it against the
807 function they just started using for Perl's hashes. */

823 --------------------------------------------------------------------
824 lookup2.c, by Bob Jenkins, December 1996, Public Domain.
825 hash(), hash2(), hash3, and mix() are externally useful functions.
826 Routines to test the hash are included if SELF_TEST is defined.
827 You can use this free for any purpose. It has no warranty.
828 --------------------------------------------------------------------
832 --------------------------------------------------------------------
833 mix -- mix 3 32-bit values reversibly.
834 For every delta with one or two bit set, and the deltas of all three
835 high bits or all three low bits, whether the original value of a,b,c
836 is almost all zero or is uniformly distributed,
837 * If mix() is run forward or backward, at least 32 bits in a,b,c
838 have at least 1/4 probability of changing.
839 * If mix() is run forward, every bit of c will change between 1/3 and
840 2/3 of the time. (Well, 22/100 and 78/100 for some 2-bit deltas.)
841 mix() was built out of 36 single-cycle latency instructions in a
842 structure that could supported 2x parallelism, like so:
843 a -= b;
844 a -= c; x = (c>>13);
845 b -= c; a ^= x;
846 b -= a; x = (a<<8);
847 c -= a; b ^= x;
848 c -= b; x = (b>>13);
850 Unfortunately, superscalar Pentiums and Sparcs can't take advantage
851 of that parallelism. They've also turned some of those single-cycle
852 latency instructions into multi-cycle latency instructions. Still,
853 this is the fastest good hash I could find. There were about 2^^68
854 to choose from. I only looked at a billion or so.
855 --------------------------------------------------------------------
857 /* same, but slower, works on systems that might have 8 byte hashval_t's */
858 #define mix(a,b,c) \
860 a -= b; a -= c; a ^= (c>>13); \
861 b -= c; b -= a; b ^= (a<< 8); \
862 c -= a; c -= b; c ^= ((b&0xffffffff)>>13); \
863 a -= b; a -= c; a ^= ((c&0xffffffff)>>12); \
864 b -= c; b -= a; b = (b ^ (a<<16)) & 0xffffffff; \
865 c -= a; c -= b; c = (c ^ (b>> 5)) & 0xffffffff; \
866 a -= b; a -= c; a = (a ^ (c>> 3)) & 0xffffffff; \

873 hash() -- hash a variable-length key into a 32-bit value
874 k : the key (the unaligned variable-length array of bytes)
875 len : the length of the key, counting by bytes
876 level : can be any 4-byte value
877 Returns a 32-bit value. Every bit of the key affects every bit of
878 the return value. Every 1-bit and 2-bit delta achieves avalanche.
879 About 36+6len instructions.
881 The best hash table sizes are powers of 2. There is no need to do
882 mod a prime (mod is sooo slow!). If you need less than 32 bits,
883 use a bitmask. For example, if you need only 10 bits, do
884 h = (h & hashmask(10));
885 In which case, the hash table should have hashsize(10) elements.
887 If you are hashing n strings (ub1 **)k, do it like this:
888 for (i=0, h=0; i<n; ++i) h = hash( k[i], len[i], h);
