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

-
- @findex bfd_hash_table_init
- @findex bfd_hash_table_init_n
- To create a hash table, create an instance of a <<struct
- bfd_hash_table>> (defined in <<bfd.h>>) and call
- <<bfd_hash_table_init>> (if you know approximately how many
- entries you will need, the function <<bfd_hash_table_init_n>>,
- which takes a @var{size} argument, may be used).
- <<bfd_hash_table_init>> returns <<false>> if some sort of
- error occurs.
-
- @findex bfd_hash_newfunc
- The function <<bfd_hash_table_init>> take as an argument a
- function to use to create new entries. For a basic hash
- table, use the function <<bfd_hash_newfunc>>. @xref{Deriving
- a New Hash Table Type} for why you would want to use a
- different value for this argument.
-
- @findex bfd_hash_allocate
- <<bfd_hash_table_init>> will create an obstack which will be
- used to allocate new entries. You may allocate memory on this
- obstack using <<bfd_hash_allocate>>.
-
- @findex bfd_hash_table_free
- Use <<bfd_hash_table_free>> to free up all the memory that has
- been allocated for a hash table. This will not free up the
- <<struct bfd_hash_table>> itself, which you must provide.

- SUBSECTION
- Looking up or entering a string
-
- @findex bfd_hash_lookup
- The function <<bfd_hash_lookup>> is used both to look up a
- string in the hash table and to create a new entry.
-
- If the @var{create} argument is <<false>>, <<bfd_hash_lookup>>
- will look up a string. If the string is found, it will
- returns a pointer to a <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>. If the
- string is not found in the table <<bfd_hash_lookup>> will
- return <<NULL>>. You should not modify any of the fields in
- the returns <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>.
-
- If the @var{create} argument is <<true>>, the string will be
- entered into the hash table if it is not already there.
- Either way a pointer to a <<struct bfd_hash_entry>> will be
- returned, either to the existing structure or to a newly
- created one. In this case, a <<NULL>> return means that an
- error occurred.
-
- If the @var{create} argument is <<true>>, and a new entry is
- created, the @var{copy} argument is used to decide whether to
- copy the string onto the hash table obstack or not. If
- @var{copy} is passed as <<false>>, you must be careful not to
- deallocate or modify the string as long as the hash table
- exists.

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

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

- SUBSUBSECTION
- Define the derived structures
-
- You must define a structure for an entry in the hash table,
- and a structure for the hash table itself.
-
- The first field in the structure for an entry in the hash
- table must be of the type used for an entry in the hash table
- you are deriving from. If you are deriving from a basic hash
- table this is <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>, which is defined in
- <<bfd.h>>. The first field in the structure for the hash
- table itself must be of the type of the hash table you are
- deriving from itself. If you are deriving from a basic hash
- table, this is <<struct bfd_hash_table>>.
-
- For example, the linker hash table defines <<struct
- bfd_link_hash_entry>> (in <<bfdlink.h>>). The first field,
- <<root>>, is of type <<struct bfd_hash_entry>>. Similarly,
- the first field in <<struct bfd_link_hash_table>>, <<table>>,
- is of type <<struct bfd_hash_table>>.

- SUBSUBSECTION
- Write the derived creation routine
-
- You must write a routine which will create and initialize an
- entry in the hash table. This routine is passed as the
- function argument to <<bfd_hash_table_init>>.
-
- In order to permit other hash tables to be derived from the
- hash table you are creating, this routine must be written in a
- standard way.
-
- The first argument to the creation routine is a pointer to a
- hash table entry. This may be <<NULL>>, in which case the
- routine should allocate the right amount of space. Otherwise
- the space has already been allocated by a hash table type
- derived from this one.
-
- After allocating space, the creation routine must call the
- creation routine of the hash table type it is derived from,
- passing in a pointer to the space it just allocated. This
- will initialize any fields used by the base hash table.
-
- Finally the creation routine must initialize any local fields
- for the new hash table type.
-
- Here is a boilerplate example of a creation routine.
- @var{function_name} is the name of the routine.
- @var{entry_type} is the type of an entry in the hash table you
- are creating. @var{base_newfunc} is the name of the creation
- routine of the hash table type your hash table is derived
- from.

- .struct bfd_hash_entry *
- .@var{function_name} (entry, table, string)
- . struct bfd_hash_entry *entry;
- . struct bfd_hash_table *table;
- . const char *string;
- .{
- . struct @var{entry_type} *ret = (@var{entry_type} *) entry;
- .
- . {* Allocate the structure if it has not already been allocated by a

- . if (ret == (@var{entry_type} *) NULL)
- . {
- . ret = ((@var{entry_type} *)
- . bfd_hash_allocate (table, sizeof (@var{entry_type})));
- . if (ret == (@var{entry_type} *) NULL)
- . return NULL;
- . }
- .
- . {* Call the allocation method of the base class. *}
- . ret = ((@var{entry_type} *)
- . @var{base_newfunc} ((struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret, table, string));
- .
- . {* Initialize the local fields here. *}
- .
- . return (struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret;
- .}
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The creation routine for the linker hash table, which is in
- <<linker.c>>, looks just like this example.
- @var{function_name} is <<_bfd_link_hash_newfunc>>.
- @var{entry_type} is <<struct bfd_link_hash_entry>>.
- @var{base_newfunc} is <<bfd_hash_newfunc>>, the creation
- routine for a basic hash table.
-
- <<_bfd_link_hash_newfunc>> also initializes the local fields
- in a linker hash table entry: <<type>>, <<written>> and
- <<next>>.
-
- INODE
- Write Other Derived Routines, , Write the Derived Creation Routine, Deriving a New Hash Table Type
- SUBSUBSECTION
- Write other derived routines
-
- You will want to write other routines for your new hash table,
- as well.
-
- You will want an initialization routine which calls the
- initialization routine of the hash table you are deriving from
- and initializes any other local fields. For the linker hash
- table, this is <<_bfd_link_hash_table_init>> in <<linker.c>>.
-
- You will want a lookup routine which calls the lookup routine
- of the hash table you are deriving from and casts the result.
- The linker hash table uses <<bfd_link_hash_lookup>> in
- <<linker.c>> (this actually takes an additional argument which
- it uses to decide how to return the looked up value).
-
- You may want a traversal routine. This should just call the
- traversal routine of the hash table you are deriving from with
- appropriate casts. The linker hash table uses
- <<bfd_link_hash_traverse>> in <<linker.c>>.
-
- These routines may simply be defined as macros. For example,
- the a.out backend linker hash table, which is derived from the
- linker hash table, uses macros for the lookup and traversal
- routines. These are <<aout_link_hash_lookup>> and
- <<aout_link_hash_traverse>> in aoutx.h.
