Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
**LibHashSet** is a [*hash set*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table) and [*hash map*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table) implementation for C99. It uses open addressing and double hashing.
|
|
|
|
At this time, the *only* types of elements supported are `uint16_t`, `uint32_t` and `uint64_t`.
|
|
|
|
This hash set implementation has successfully been tested to *efficiently* handle several billions of items 😏
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting Started
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Here is a simple example of how to use LibHashSet in your application:
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
#include <hash_set.h>
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
uint64_t item;
|
|
uintptr_t cursor = 0U;
|
|
|
|
/* create new hash set instance */
|
|
hash_set64_t* const hash_set = hash_set_create64(0U, -1.0, 42U);
|
|
if (!hash_set)
|
|
{
|
|
fputs("Allocation has failed!\n", stderr);
|
|
return EXIT_FAILURE;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* add a number of items to the hash set, the set will grow as needed */
|
|
puts("Insertign items, please wait...");
|
|
while (have_more_items())
|
|
{
|
|
const errno_t error = hash_set_insert64(hash_set, get_next_item());
|
|
if (error)
|
|
{
|
|
fprintf(stderr, "Insert operation has failed! (error: %d)\n", error);
|
|
return EXIT_FAILURE;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
puts("Done.\n");
|
|
|
|
/* print total number of items in the hash set*/
|
|
printf("Total number of items: %zu\n\n", hash_set_size64(hash_set));
|
|
|
|
/* print all items in the set */
|
|
while (hash_set_iterate64(hash_set, &cursor, &item) == 0)
|
|
{
|
|
printf("Item: %016llX\n", item);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* destroy the hash set, when it is no longer needed! */
|
|
hash_set_destroy64(hash_set);
|
|
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
|
|
}
|
|
```

API Reference
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
This section describes the LibHashSet programming interface. The functions for managing *hash sets* are declared in `<hash_set.h>`, whereas the functions for managing to *hash maps* are declared in `<hash_map.h>`.
|
|
|
|
LibHashSet supports sets and maps containing elements of different integral types. For each element type, separate functions are provided. The functions for `uint16_t`, `uint32_t` and `uint64_t` can be distinguished by the suffix `…16`, `…32` and `…64`, respectively. In the following, the functions are described in their "generic" form.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** On Microsoft Windows (Visual C++), when using LibHashSet as a "shared" library (DLL file), the macro `HASHSET_DLL` must be defined *before* including the `<hash_set.h>` or `<hash_map.h>` header files!
|
|
|
|
Types
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
### hash_set_t
|
|
|
|
A `struct` that represents a LibHashSet *hash set* instance. Hash set instances can be allocated and de-allocated via the [hash_set_create()](#hash_set_create) and [hash_set_destroy()](#hash_set_destroy) functions, respectively.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** Application code shall treat this `struct` as opaque. The internals may change in future versions!
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
typedef struct _hash_set hash_set_t;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### hash_map_t
|
|
|
|
A `struct` that represents a LibHashSet *hash map* instance. Hash map instances can be allocated and de-allocated via the [hash_map_create()](#hash_map_create) and [hash_map_destroy()](#hash_map_destroy) functions, respectively.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** Application code shall treat this `struct` as opaque! The internals may change in future versions!
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
typedef struct _hash_map hash_map_t;
|
|
```
|
|

Set Functions
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This section describes all functions for managing `hash_set_t` instances.
|
|
|
|
### hash_set_create()
|
|
|
|
Allocates a new hash set instance. The new hash set instance is empty initially.
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
hash_set_t *hash_set_create(
|
|
const size_t initial_capacity,
|
|
const double load_factor,
|
|
const uint32_t seed
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `initial_capacity`
|
|
The initial capacity of the hash set (number of items). The given count will be rounded to the next power of two. If the number of items to be inserted into the hash set can be estimated beforehand, then the initial capacity should be adjusted accordingly to avoid unnecessary re-allocations. In any case, the hash set will be able to grow dynamically as needed. If this parameter is set to *zero*, the the *default* initial capacity (8192) is used.
|
|
|
|
* `load_factor`
|
|
The load factor to be applied to the hash set. The given load factor will be clipped to the **0.1** to **1.0** range. Generally, the default load factor (0.8) offers a good trade-off between performance and memory usage. Higher load factors decrease the memory overhead, but also may increase the time required for insert, lookup and remove operations. If this parameter is less than or equal to *zero*, the *default* load factor is used.
|
|
|
|
* `seed`
|
|
The "seed" value that is used to tweak the internal hash computation. The application should set this parameter to a value that is hard to predict and that is unlikely to repeat (e.g., a high-resolution timer is suitable here).
|
|
|
|
#### Return value
|
|
|
|
On success, this function returns a pointer to a new hash set instance. On error, a `NULL` pointer is returned.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** To avoid a memory leak, the returned pointer must be de-allocated by the application using the [hash_set_destroy()](#hash_set_destroy) function, as soon as the instance is *not* needed anymore!
|
|
|
|
### hash_set_destroy()
|
|
|
|
De-allocates an existing hash set instance. All items in the hash set are discarded.
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
void hash_set_destroy(
|
|
hash_set_t *instance
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `instance`
|
|
A pointer to the hash set instance that is to be destroyed, as returned by the [hash_set_create()](#hash_set_create) function.
|
|
***Note:*** The given pointer is *invalidated* by this function, and it **must not** be used afterwards!
|
|
|
|
### hash_set_insert()
|
|
|
|
Tries to insert the given item into the hash set. The operation fails, if the set already contains the given item.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** If the item is actually inserted, then the hash set *may* need to grow.
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
errno_t hash_set_insert(
|
|
hash_set_t *const instance,
|
|
const value_t item
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `instance`

|
|
|
|
* `item`
|
|
The item to be inserted into the hash set.
|
|
|
|
#### Return value
|
|
|
|
On success, this function returns *zero*. On error, the appropriate error code is returned. Possible error codes include:
|
|
|
|
* `EINVAL`
|
|
An invalid argument was given, e.g. `instance` was set to `NULL`.
|
|
|
|
* `EEXIST`
|
|
The given item was *not* inserted into the hash set (again), because it was already present.
|
|
|
|
* `ENOMEM`
|
|
The item could *not* be inserted, because the required amount of memory could *not* be allocated.
|
|
|
|
* `EFAULT`
|
|
Something else went wrong. This usually indicates an internal error and is *not* supposed to happen.
|
|
|
|
### hash_set_remove()
|
|
|
|
Tries to remove the given item from the hash set. The operation fails, if the set does *not* contain the given item.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** If the item is actually removed, then the hash set *may* shrink.
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
errno_t hash_set_remove(
|
|
hash_set_t *const instance,

|
|
The given item could *not* be removed from the hash set, because *no* such item was present.
|
|
|
|
* `EFAULT`

|
This section describes all functions for managing `hash_map_t` instances.
|
|
|
|
### hash_map_create()
|
|
|
|
Allocates a new hash map instance. The new hash map instance is empty initially.
|

|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `initial_capacity`
|
|
The initial capacity of the hash map. The given count will be rounded to the next power of two. If the number of key-value pairs to be inserted into the hash map can be estimated beforehand, then the initial capacity should be adjusted accordingly to avoid unnecessary re-allocations. In any case, the hash map will be able to grow dynamically as needed. If this parameter is map to *zero*, the the *default* initial capacity (8192) is used.
|
|
|
|
* `load_factor`
|
|
The load factor to be applied to the hash map. The given load factor will be clipped to the **0.1** to **1.0** range. Generally, the default load factor (0.8) offers a good trade-off between performance and memory usage. Higher load factors decrease the memory overhead, but also may increase the time required for insert, lookup and remove operations. If this parameter is less than or equal to *zero*, the *default* load factor is used.
|
|
|
|
* `seed`
|
|
The "seed" value that is used to tweak the internal hash computation. The application should set this parameter to a value that is hard to predict and that is unlikely to repeat (e.g., a high-resolution timer is suitable here).
|
|
|
|
#### Return value
|
|
|
|
On success, this function returns a pointer to a new hash map instance. On error, a `NULL` pointer is returned.
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** To avoid a memory leak, the returned pointer must be de-allocated by the application using the [hash_map_destroy()](#hash_map_destroy) function, as soon as the instance is *not* needed anymore!
|
|
|
|
### hash_map_destroy()
|
|
|
|
De-allocates an existing hash map instance. All key-value pairs in the hash map are discarded.
|
|

|
|
|
* `instance`
|
|
A pointer to the hash map instance that is to be destroyed, as returned by the [hash_map_create()](#hash_map_create) function.

***Note:*** The given pointer is *invalidated* by this function, and it **must not** be used afterwards!
|
|
|
|
### hash_map_insert()
|
|
|
|
Tries to insert the given key-value pair into the hash map.
|
|
|
|
If the map already contains the given key, then the value associated with the existing key is updated.

|
|
|
***Note:*** If the key is actually inserted, then the hash map *may* need to grow.
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
errno_t hash_map_insert(
|
|
hash_map_t *const instance,
|

Thread Safety
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
LibHashSet is ***thread-safe***, in the sense that all public functions operate *exclusively* on the given `hash_set_t` or `hash_map_t` instance; there is **no** implicit shared "global" state. This means that **no** synchronization is required in multi-threaded applications, provided that each instance is created and accessed only by a ***single*** thread.
|
|
|
|
However, LibHashSet does **nothing** to synchronize access to a particular `hash_set_t` or `hash_map_t` instance! Consequently, in situations where the *same* instance needs to be shared across *multiple* concurrent threads, the calling application is responsible for serializing all access to the "shared" instance, e.g. by using a [*mutex*](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/pthread_mutex_lock.html) lock!
