gperf-2.7.2: description + notes
GNU gperf
Perfect Hash Function Generator.
GNU
gperf is a perfect hash function generator. For a given list of
strings, it produces a hash function and hash table, in form of C or
C++ code, for looking up a value depending on the input string. The
hash function is perfect, which means that the hash table has
no collisions, and the hash table lookup needs a single string
comparison only.
GNU gperf is highly customizable. There are options for generating
C or C++ code, for emitting switch statements or nested
ifs instead of a hash table, and for tuning the algorithm
employed by gperf.
