The GNU <CODE>gperf</CODE> perfect hash function generator utility was
|
|
originally written in GNU C++ by Douglas C. Schmidt. It is now also
|
|
available in a highly-portable "old-style" C version. The general
|
|
idea for the perfect hash function generator was inspired by Keith
|
|
Bostic's algorithm written in C, and distributed to net.sources around
|
|
1984. The current program is a heavily modified, enhanced, and extended
|
|
implementation of Keith's basic idea, created at the University of
|
|
California, Irvine. Bugs, patches, and suggestions should be reported
|
|
to <CODE><bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org></CODE>.

Special thanks is extended to Michael Tiemann and Doug Lea, for
|
|
providing a useful compiler, and for giving me a forum to exhibit my
|
|
creation.
|
|
|
|
In addition, Adam de Boor and Nels Olson provided many tips and insights
|
|
that greatly helped improve the quality and functionality of <CODE>gperf</CODE>.

A testsuite was added by Bruno Haible. He also rewrote the output
|
|
routines for better reliability.
