-hashmap API
-===========
-
-The hashmap API is a generic implementation of hash-based key-value mappings.
-
-Data Structures
----------------
-
-`struct hashmap`::
-
- The hash table structure. Members can be used as follows, but should
- not be modified directly:
-+
-The `size` member keeps track of the total number of entries (0 means the
-hashmap is empty).
-+
-`tablesize` is the allocated size of the hash table. A non-0 value indicates
-that the hashmap is initialized. It may also be useful for statistical purposes
-(i.e. `size / tablesize` is the current load factor).
-+
-`cmpfn` stores the comparison function specified in `hashmap_init()`. In
-advanced scenarios, it may be useful to change this, e.g. to switch between
-case-sensitive and case-insensitive lookup.
-+
-When `disallow_rehash` is set, automatic rehashes are prevented during inserts
-and deletes.
-
-`struct hashmap_entry`::
-
- An opaque structure representing an entry in the hash table, which must
- be used as first member of user data structures. Ideally it should be
- followed by an int-sized member to prevent unused memory on 64-bit
- systems due to alignment.
-+
-The `hash` member is the entry's hash code and the `next` member points to the
-next entry in case of collisions (i.e. if multiple entries map to the same
-bucket).
-
-`struct hashmap_iter`::
-
- An iterator structure, to be used with hashmap_iter_* functions.
-
-Types
------
-
-`int (*hashmap_cmp_fn)(const void *entry, const void *entry_or_key, const void *keydata)`::
-
- User-supplied function to test two hashmap entries for equality. Shall
- return 0 if the entries are equal.
-+
-This function is always called with non-NULL `entry` / `entry_or_key`
-parameters that have the same hash code. When looking up an entry, the `key`
-and `keydata` parameters to hashmap_get and hashmap_remove are always passed
-as second and third argument, respectively. Otherwise, `keydata` is NULL.
-
-Functions
----------
-
-`unsigned int strhash(const char *buf)`::
-`unsigned int strihash(const char *buf)`::
-`unsigned int memhash(const void *buf, size_t len)`::
-`unsigned int memihash(const void *buf, size_t len)`::
-`unsigned int memihash_cont(unsigned int hash_seed, const void *buf, size_t len)`::
-
- Ready-to-use hash functions for strings, using the FNV-1 algorithm (see
- http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv).
-+
-`strhash` and `strihash` take 0-terminated strings, while `memhash` and
-`memihash` operate on arbitrary-length memory.
-+
-`strihash` and `memihash` are case insensitive versions.
-+
-`memihash_cont` is a variant of `memihash` that allows a computation to be
-continued with another chunk of data.
-
-`unsigned int sha1hash(const unsigned char *sha1)`::
-
- Converts a cryptographic hash (e.g. SHA-1) into an int-sized hash code
- for use in hash tables. Cryptographic hashes are supposed to have
- uniform distribution, so in contrast to `memhash()`, this just copies
- the first `sizeof(int)` bytes without shuffling any bits. Note that
- the results will be different on big-endian and little-endian
- platforms, so they should not be stored or transferred over the net.
-
-`void hashmap_init(struct hashmap *map, hashmap_cmp_fn equals_function, size_t initial_size)`::
-
- Initializes a hashmap structure.
-+
-`map` is the hashmap to initialize.
-+
-The `equals_function` can be specified to compare two entries for equality.
-If NULL, entries are considered equal if their hash codes are equal.
-+
-If the total number of entries is known in advance, the `initial_size`
-parameter may be used to preallocate a sufficiently large table and thus
-prevent expensive resizing. If 0, the table is dynamically resized.
-
-`void hashmap_free(struct hashmap *map, int free_entries)`::
-
- Frees a hashmap structure and allocated memory.
-+
-`map` is the hashmap to free.
-+
-If `free_entries` is true, each hashmap_entry in the map is freed as well
-(using stdlib's free()).
-
-`void hashmap_entry_init(void *entry, unsigned int hash)`::
-
- Initializes a hashmap_entry structure.
-+
-`entry` points to the entry to initialize.
-+
-`hash` is the hash code of the entry.
-+
-The hashmap_entry structure does not hold references to external resources,
-and it is safe to just discard it once you are done with it (i.e. if
-your structure was allocated with xmalloc(), you can just free(3) it,
-and if it is on stack, you can just let it go out of scope).
-
-`void *hashmap_get(const struct hashmap *map, const void *key, const void *keydata)`::
-
- Returns the hashmap entry for the specified key, or NULL if not found.
-+
-`map` is the hashmap structure.
-+
-`key` is a hashmap_entry structure (or user data structure that starts with
-hashmap_entry) that has at least been initialized with the proper hash code
-(via `hashmap_entry_init`).
-+
-If an entry with matching hash code is found, `key` and `keydata` are passed
-to `hashmap_cmp_fn` to decide whether the entry matches the key.
-
-`void *hashmap_get_from_hash(const struct hashmap *map, unsigned int hash, const void *keydata)`::
-
- Returns the hashmap entry for the specified hash code and key data,
- or NULL if not found.
-+
-`map` is the hashmap structure.
-+
-`hash` is the hash code of the entry to look up.
-+
-If an entry with matching hash code is found, `keydata` is passed to
-`hashmap_cmp_fn` to decide whether the entry matches the key. The
-`entry_or_key` parameter points to a bogus hashmap_entry structure that
-should not be used in the comparison.
-
-`void *hashmap_get_next(const struct hashmap *map, const void *entry)`::
-
- Returns the next equal hashmap entry, or NULL if not found. This can be
- used to iterate over duplicate entries (see `hashmap_add`).
-+
-`map` is the hashmap structure.
-+
-`entry` is the hashmap_entry to start the search from, obtained via a previous
-call to `hashmap_get` or `hashmap_get_next`.
-
-`void hashmap_add(struct hashmap *map, void *entry)`::
-
- Adds a hashmap entry. This allows to add duplicate entries (i.e.
- separate values with the same key according to hashmap_cmp_fn).
-+
-`map` is the hashmap structure.
-+
-`entry` is the entry to add.
-
-`void *hashmap_put(struct hashmap *map, void *entry)`::
-
- Adds or replaces a hashmap entry. If the hashmap contains duplicate
- entries equal to the specified entry, only one of them will be replaced.
-+
-`map` is the hashmap structure.
-+
-`entry` is the entry to add or replace.
-+
-Returns the replaced entry, or NULL if not found (i.e. the entry was added).
-
-`void *hashmap_remove(struct hashmap *map, const void *key, const void *keydata)`::
-
- Removes a hashmap entry matching the specified key. If the hashmap
- contains duplicate entries equal to the specified key, only one of
- them will be removed.
-+
-`map` is the hashmap structure.
-+
-`key` is a hashmap_entry structure (or user data structure that starts with
-hashmap_entry) that has at least been initialized with the proper hash code
-(via `hashmap_entry_init`).
-+
-If an entry with matching hash code is found, `key` and `keydata` are
-passed to `hashmap_cmp_fn` to decide whether the entry matches the key.
-+
-Returns the removed entry, or NULL if not found.
-
-`void hashmap_disallow_rehash(struct hashmap *map, unsigned value)`::
-
- Disallow/allow automatic rehashing of the hashmap during inserts
- and deletes.
-+
-This is useful if the caller knows that the hashmap will be accessed
-by multiple threads.
-+
-The caller is still responsible for any necessary locking; this simply
-prevents unexpected rehashing. The caller is also responsible for properly
-sizing the initial hashmap to ensure good performance.
-+
-A call to allow rehashing does not force a rehash; that might happen
-with the next insert or delete.
-
-`void hashmap_iter_init(struct hashmap *map, struct hashmap_iter *iter)`::
-`void *hashmap_iter_next(struct hashmap_iter *iter)`::
-`void *hashmap_iter_first(struct hashmap *map, struct hashmap_iter *iter)`::
-
- Used to iterate over all entries of a hashmap. Note that it is
- not safe to add or remove entries to the hashmap while
- iterating.
-+
-`hashmap_iter_init` initializes a `hashmap_iter` structure.
-+
-`hashmap_iter_next` returns the next hashmap_entry, or NULL if there are no
-more entries.
-+
-`hashmap_iter_first` is a combination of both (i.e. initializes the iterator
-and returns the first entry, if any).
-
-`const char *strintern(const char *string)`::
-`const void *memintern(const void *data, size_t len)`::
-
- Returns the unique, interned version of the specified string or data,
- similar to the `String.intern` API in Java and .NET, respectively.
- Interned strings remain valid for the entire lifetime of the process.
-+
-Can be used as `[x]strdup()` or `xmemdupz` replacement, except that interned
-strings / data must not be modified or freed.
-+
-Interned strings are best used for short strings with high probability of
-duplicates.
-+
-Uses a hashmap to store the pool of interned strings.

-Usage example
--------------
-
-Here's a simple usage example that maps long keys to double values.
-------------
-struct hashmap map;
-
-struct long2double {
- struct hashmap_entry ent; /* must be the first member! */
- long key;
- double value;
-};
-
-static int long2double_cmp(const struct long2double *e1, const struct long2double *e2, const void *unused)
-{
- return !(e1->key == e2->key);
-}
-
-void long2double_init(void)
-{
- hashmap_init(&map, (hashmap_cmp_fn) long2double_cmp, 0);
-}
-
-void long2double_free(void)
-{
- hashmap_free(&map, 1);
-}
-
-static struct long2double *find_entry(long key)
-{
- struct long2double k;
- hashmap_entry_init(&k, memhash(&key, sizeof(long)));
- k.key = key;
- return hashmap_get(&map, &k, NULL);
-}
-
-double get_value(long key)
-{
- struct long2double *e = find_entry(key);
- return e ? e->value : 0;
-}
-
-void set_value(long key, double value)
-{
- struct long2double *e = find_entry(key);
- if (!e) {
- e = malloc(sizeof(struct long2double));
- hashmap_entry_init(e, memhash(&key, sizeof(long)));
- e->key = key;
- hashmap_add(&map, e);
- }
- e->value = value;
-}

-Using variable-sized keys
--------------------------
-
-The `hashmap_entry_get` and `hashmap_entry_remove` functions expect an ordinary
-`hashmap_entry` structure as key to find the correct entry. If the key data is
-variable-sized (e.g. a FLEX_ARRAY string) or quite large, it is undesirable
-to create a full-fledged entry structure on the heap and copy all the key data
-into the structure.
-
-In this case, the `keydata` parameter can be used to pass
-variable-sized key data directly to the comparison function, and the `key`
-parameter can be a stripped-down, fixed size entry structure allocated on the
-stack.
-
-See test-hashmap.c for an example using arbitrary-length strings as keys.
