This is GNU gperf. It is a program that generates perfect hash
|
|
functions for sets of key words. A perfect hash function is:
|
|
|
|
A hash function and a data structure that allows
|
|
recognition of a key word in a set of words using
|
|
exactly 1 probe into the data structure.
|
|
|
|
The doc/gperf.html file explains how the program works, the form of
|
|
the input, what options are available, and hints on choosing the best
|
|
options for particular key words set.
