Version 1.9.3 (2010-10-31) -------------------------- * fix an `ifdef` for compatibility with Intel compiler (thanks, degski!) * fix `HASH_ITER` macro to satisfy C++ casting rules (thanks, Erik Bai!)

(thanks, Niall Douglas!) * uthash has been downloaded 12,294 times Version 1.9.1 (2010-05-15) -------------------------- * Fix a redefinition warning when using `uthash.h` and `utstring.h` together * Fix a bug in `utstring_init` * Added `HASH_FIND_PTR` and `HASH_ADD_PTR` (thanks, Niall Douglas!) Version 1.9 (2010-03-31) -------------------------- * uthash now supports Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 in C or C++ code! * new headers link:utarray.html[utarray.h] and link:utstring.html[utstring.h] are now included. These implement dynamic arrays and strings using macros * link:utlist.html[utlist.h] now has deletion-safe iterators and search macros * the test suite now runs under Visual Studio (thanks again degski!) * special thanks for suggesting utarray and utlist features to Charalampos P.! * uthash has been downloaded 9,616 times Version 1.8 (2009-09-08) -------------------------- * Added the `hashscan` utility that can report on the size and quality of hash tables in a running process (Linux-only) * Added Bloom filter support. This has the potential to speed up certain types of programs that look up non-existant keys in sufficient numbers. * Restored the MurmurHash, which can once again be used, if an additional symbol is defined. This is a "safety" by which the user declares they understand that `-fno-strict-aliasing` flag must be used if they are using MurmurHash under gcc with optimization. * Unified the bucket/table malloc hooks; now there is only one malloc hook * Re-organized the manual into a main section and advanced topics section * Fixed a bug in `utlist.h` where sorting a singly-linked list threw a compile-time error. * Fixed a bug in `utlist.h` where a doubly-linked list that is sorted did not maintain the special `head->prev` pointer back to the list tail. Version 1.7 (2009-06-11) -------------------------- * The MurmurHash has been removed, and Jenkin's hash is once again the default. While MurmurHash performed well, it's unsafe with regard to the strict aliasing rule. This results in incorrect code when compiled with optimization. It's not possible to enable `-fno-strict-aliasing` from within a header file. * The linked list macros in `utlist.h` now comply with the strict-aliasing rule so they generate correct code under high optimization levels (O2 or O3). The use of the `__typeof__` extension, which was originally a GNU extension, may reduce portability to other compilers that do not support this extension. This extension is used in the singly-linked list macros and the sort macros. Version 1.6 (2009-05-08) -------------------------- Special thanks to Alfred Heisner for contributing several enhancements: * Support for two new hash functions: - the Paul Hsieh hash function (`HASH_SFH`) - Austin Appleby's MurmurHash function (`HASH_MUR`) * Because of its excellent performance, MurmurHash is now the default hash function. * `keystats` now has much better elapsed time accuracy under Cygwin and MinGW * fixed casting in `HASH_FNV`, `HASH_SAX` and `HASH_OAT` for non-char keys This release also includes: * a new `HASH_CLEAR` operation clears a hash table in one step. * a new `HASH_SELECT` operation inserts those elements from one hash that satisfy a given condition into another hash. The selected items have dual presence in both hash tables. For example a game could select the visible polygons from a hash of all polygons. * fixed a compile-time error which occurred if the final argument to `HASH_ADD_KEYPTR` was a pointer to an array member like `&a[i]` * added another test script `tests/all_funcs` which executes the test suite using every supported hash function And lastly, * a new, separate header called link:utlist.html[utlist.h] is included which provides 'linked list macros' for C structures, similar in style to the uthash macros Version 1.5 (2009-02-19) -------------------------- * now thread-safe for concurrent readers * use scratch variables on stack rather than in table (thanks, Petter Arvidsson!). This change made HASH_FIND about 13% faster and enabled reader concurrency. * made link:license.html[BSD license] terms even more permissive * added link:userguide.pdf[PDF version] of User Guide * added http://troydhanson.wordpress.com/feed/[update news] image:rss.png[(RSS)] Version 1.4 (2008-09-23) -------------------------- * Add `HASH_COUNT` for counting items in the hash * Compatibility with C\+\+. Satisfy additional casting requirements. Also in the `tests/` directory, running `make cplusplus` now compiles all the test programs with the C++ compiler. * Eliminate `elmt` pointer from the UT_hash_handle. Calculate elmt from hash handle address by subtracting `hho` (hash handle offset). * Contributed by L.S.Chin: Cast `void*` to char* before pointer arithmetic to suppress compiler warnings. We assume compilers abide to C standards which impose requirement that `sizeof(void*) == sizeof(char*)`. * Return meaningful exit status from do_tests per Tiago Cunha, so that package manager-based install can verify tests are successful Version 1.3 (2008-07-27) ------------------------ * use integer-only math-- no floating point! Support FPU-less CPU's. * eliminate `hash_q` metric, which measured the fraction of items with non-ideal chain positions. We only need to know if this fraction is below 0.5. This is now determined using fast bitwise tests. * when an item is added to the hash, calculate the key's hash value upfront and store it, instead of recomputing it as needed. This hashv is stored in the hash handle. Potentially major speed benefit for bucket expansion algorithm. Deleting is marginally improved too. * fixed a minor bug in the calculation of the max ideal chain length; line 446 in v1.2 erroneously calculated a/b*2 instead of a/(b*2). The effect of this bug was that bucket expansion could occur more readily because the per-bucket 'max chain length multiplier factor' (which delays bucket expansion when certain buckets are overused) was set to a lower, expansion-favoring value than intended. * improved source commenting and improved variable names in structures * remove `HASH_JSW`. Lengthy random number array made code less readable * add `HASH_SRT(hh,hash,cmp)` as a generalized `HASH_SORT(hash,cmp)`. It was an omission in uthash 1.2 that there was no sort macro for hash handles with names other than hh. * Corrected `HASH_FSCK` so it works with any name for the hash handle. * behave properly in pathological `HASH_DEL(a,a)` case where the same variable references the head and the deletee (advancing the head then loses the correct reference to the deletee); fix by using scratch area in the hash table to store deletee hash handle. * made tests runnable on MinGW * 3000+ downloads since uthash-1.0 Version 1.2 (2006-11-22) ------------------------ * new `HASH_SORT` macro * Cygwin support * User Guide now features a clickable Table of Contents. (The technique for generating the TOC on the browser was contributed back to the AsciiDoc project and incorporated into AsciiDoc v8.1.0). Version 1.1 (2006-06-28) ------------------------ * uthash-1.1 released * supports several built-in user-selectable hash functions * new keystats utility quantifies performance of hash functions Version 1.0 (2006-06-02) ------------------------ * Initial release // vim: set syntax=asciidoc:
