This library implements type-checked dynamic hash tables. The hash
|
||||
table entries can be arbitrary structures. Usually they consist of key
|
||||
and value fields. In the description here, I<TYPE> is used a placeholder
|
||||
and value fields. In the description here, B<I<TYPE>> is used a placeholder
|
||||
for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as I<SSL_SESSION>.

B<lh_I<TYPE>_new>() creates a new B<LHASH_OF>(B<I<TYPE>>) structure to store

arbitrary data entries, and specifies the 'hash' and 'compare'
|

callbacks to be used in organising the table's entries. The B<hash>
|
||||
callbacks to be used in organising the table's entries. The I<hash>
|
||||
callback takes a pointer to a table entry as its argument and returns
|
||||
an unsigned long hash value for its key field. The hash value is
|
||||
normally truncated to a power of 2, so make sure that your hash
|
||||
function returns well mixed low order bits. The B<compare> callback
|
||||
function returns well mixed low order bits. The I<compare> callback
|
||||
takes two arguments (pointers to two hash table entries), and returns

0 if their keys are equal, non-zero otherwise.
