199 (install, installdirs, uninstall): Don't install gperf.dvi. The
200 info and HTML documentations are sufficient for on-line use, and
201 users who wish to print the documentation (in PS or DVI format)
202 can do this directly off the source distribution.
203 (DVIPS): Use "-D600" instead of "-Pljfour", for portability.
205 1998-05-20 Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
207 * doc/gperf.texi: Many modifications:

241 * lib/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Don't use implicit rules. Don't
242 use $<. AIX "make" and OSF/1 "make" have problems with both.
243 * src/gen-perf.cc, src/key-list.cc: Cast free() argument to char*,
244 otherwise it doesn't compile on SunOS 4.

248 Don't give a prototype for getopt(), to avoid error on SunOS 4.
249 * lib/getopt.c: Declare strncmp, to avoid warnings.
251 Tue Apr 14 23:24:07 1998 Bruno Haible <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>

256 * lib/Makefile.in (OBJECTS): Remove GetOpt.o, add getopt.o, getopt1.o.
257 (getopt.o, getopt1.o, hash.o): Use explicit building rules. Some
258 "make"s don't support to have both implicit rules for "%.o : %.c"
259 and "%.o : %.cc" in the same Makefile.
260 * lib/hash.{h,cc}: Remove #pragma; there are no templates here.
261 * src/option.h (Options::usage): Remove.

274 * src/option.cc (program_name): New variable.
275 * src/Makefile.in: Remove STD_ERR_H.

281 CL_CXX_WORKS, already contained in autoconf 2.12.
283 * src/gen-perf.cc, src/key-list.cc: Move some code from
284 Gen_Perf::Gen_Perf() to Key_List::output().
285 * src/Makefile.in: Update dependencies.
287 * src/options.{h,cc}: Remove option "-p".
288 * src/key-list.cc (Key_List::set_output_types): Rewrite.
289 (default_array_type, default_return_type): Remove.
290 * src/key-list.cc: Adjust "const" handling.
291 + With option "-t" [TYPE], don't emit wrong code if there is no
292 space before the struct's opening brace.
294 Sun Mar 22 16:59:15 1998 Bruno Haible <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
296 * src/key-list.{h,cc}: Completely reorganized the output routines.
297 Rewrote from scratch the output_switch() function. Use classes
298 (Output_Constants, Output_Expr, Output_Compare) for abstraction.
300 + Don't emit trailing whitespace and spurious blank lines.
301 + Adjust indentation of the arrays.
302 + Don't emit commas at the end of array initializers and
304 + With option "-l" [LENTABLE], compare the length before
305 fetching the word from memory.
306 + With option "-S" [SWITCH], emit the comparison code just once,
307 not once in every switch statement.
308 + With option "-S" [SWITCH], choose the right switch statement
309 through a binary search, not a linear search.
310 + With option "-S" [SWITCH], emit straightforward comparisons
311 instead of switch statements with just one "case" label.
312 + With options "-S -p -t" [SWITCH, POINTER, TYPE], don't emit
313 spurious empty elements at the beginning of the wordlist array.
314 + With option "-D" [DUP] and not option "-S" [SWITCH], if there
315 is no more room for duplicate entries in the lookup array,
316 don't call `assert (i != 0)'. Instead, make the array larger :-)
317 + With option "-D" [DUP], if there are no duplicates, don't
318 automatically fall back to the non-"-D" algorithm. If the user
319 wants the non-"-D" algorithm, he can just not specify "-D".
320 + With option "-D" [DUP] and either options "-p -t" [POINTER, TYPE]
321 or not option "-S" [SWITCH], don't emit spurious empty elements
322 at the beginning of the wordlist array.
323 + With option "-D" [DUP], simplify the detection and processing
324 of duplicate entries in the lookup array.
325 + With options "-D -l" [DUP, LENTABLE] and not option "-S" [SWITCH],
326 don't forget to emit the lengthtable array.
327 + With options "-D -l -S" [DUP, LENTABLE, SWITCH], don't forget to
328 compare the lengths before comparing the strings.
330 * src/gen-perf.cc: No need to include <assert.h>.
331 * src/options.cc: Likewise.
333 * src/options.cc: Don't use `errno' after freopen failed.
334 * src/std-err.cc: `report_error' doesn't call strerror(errno) any
335 more. No need to include <string.h> and <errno.h>.
337 * tests/Makefile.in (check-*): Any difference between .exp and .out
338 is a failure. Don't ignore whitespace differences.
340 * tests/Makefile.in (check-lang-syntax): Add some more checks.
342 Fri Mar 20 00:54:54 1998 Bruno Haible <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
344 * tests/jscript.gperf: Renamed from tests/javascript.gperf, because
345 of Minix and SVR2 14-character filename limit.
346 * src/key-list.cc (output_string): New function.
347 (Key_List::output_switch, Key_List::output_keyword_table): Call it.
349 * src/options.{h,icc,cc} (get_wordlist_name): New function. Add
351 * src/key-list.cc (Key_List::output_switch,
352 Key_List::output_keyword_table, Key_List::output_lookup_function):
354 Patch from William Bader <wbader@CSEE.Lehigh.Edu>.
356 * src/version.cc: Bump version number directly from 2.5 to 2.7,
357 because Schmidt's last release from 1991 carries version number 2.6.
359 Tue Jul 30 00:02:39 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
361 * Fixed a small bug in the Key_List::output_keyword_table routine
362 that caused an extra newline to be printed if there where no
363 leading blank entries... (who cares, right?!)
365 Mon Jul 29 22:05:40 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
367 * Modified the handling of the -E (emit enums rather than
368 #defines) option in conjunction with the -G option. Now, if -G
369 and -E are given the enums are generated outside the lookup
370 function, rather than within it!
372 Mon Apr 8 18:17:04 1991 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
374 * Yucko, there was a bug in the handling of -c (and of course the
375 new -I command in key-list.cc). Apparently when I added the
376 super-duper hack that provided support for duplicate keys I
377 forgot to update the strcmp output...
379 Mon Mar 9 02:19:04 1998 Bruno Haible <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>

429 and return type of `Key_List::get_array_type',
430 `Key_List::get_special_input', `Key_List::save_include_src' from
431 `char *' to `const char *'.
432 * src/key-list.cc: Change "pretty gross" assignment.

472 Wed Jan 28 01:56:00 1998 Manfred Hollstein <manfred@s-direktnet.de>
474 * configure.in (package_makefile_rules_frag): New and
475 redirect stderr from ${srcdir}/config.shared to
476 ${package_makefile_rules_frag}.
477 * src/configure.in: Ditto.
478 * tests/configure.in: Ditto.
480 Fri Jan 23 08:00:41 1998 H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org)
482 * gperf.texi (@ichapter): Changed to @chapter.
484 Wed Jan 14 09:16:48 1998 H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org)
486 * src/key-list.cc, src/key-list.h (Key_List::strcspn): Don't
487 define if strcspn is defined.

491 * src/new.cc (operator delete): Add the exception specification.
493 Mon Feb 5 19:29:16 1996 Per Bothner <bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com>
495 * src/read-line.cc (Read_Line::readln_aux): Handle EOF if last line
496 has a length which is an exact multiple of CHUNK_SIZE. (Used to throw
497 away the line's contents.) From Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.ilog.fr>.
498 * src/Makefile.in ($(TARGETPROG)): Add -lm to link line.
500 Tue Jun 11 13:43:50 1996 Brendan Kehoe <brendan@lisa.cygnus.com>
502 * src/list-node.cc (List_Node): Reorder init of nodes to
503 match declaration order.
504 * src/hash-table.cc (Hash_Table): Likewise.
506 Tue Oct 10 16:37:28 1995 Mike Stump <mrs@cygnus.com>
508 * src/new.cc: Since malloc/delete are not paired, we cannot call
511 Wed Jan 4 12:40:14 1995 Per Bothner <bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com>
513 * src/Makefile.in ($(TARGETPROG)): Link with $(LDFLAGS).
514 Patch from John Interrante <interran@uluru.stanford.edu>.
516 Sat Nov 5 19:12:48 1994 Jason Merrill (jason@phydeaux.cygnus.com)
518 * src/Makefile.in (LIBS): Remove.
520 Tue Oct 18 17:51:14 1994 Per Bothner <bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com>
522 * src/std-err.cc: Use stderror, instead of the non-standard
523 sys_nerr and sys_errlist.
525 Sat Sep 17 22:02:13 1994 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
527 * src/key-list.cc (output_hash_function):
528 Patch from William Bader <wbader@CSEE.Lehigh.Edu>.
530 Fri Jul 15 09:38:11 1994 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
532 * src/std-err.cc: #include <errno.h>, and only declare
533 extern int errno if errno is not a macro.
535 Mon May 30 17:29:34 1994 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
537 * Makefile.in (src_all, install): Make sure to add '/' after
538 `pwd` in $rootme, as expected by FLAGS_TO_PASS.
540 Wed May 11 00:47:22 1994 Jason Merrill (jason@deneb.cygnus.com)
542 Make libg++ build with gcc -ansi -pedantic-errors
543 * src/options.h: Lose commas at end of enumerator lists.
545 Sun Dec 5 19:16:40 1993 Brendan Kehoe (brendan@lisa.cygnus.com)
547 * src/hash-table.cc (Hash_Table::~Hash_Table): Don't pass an
548 argument to fprintf, since it's not expecting one.
550 Fri Nov 26 19:03:18 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
552 * src/list-node.cc: #undef index, for the sake of broken NeXT,
554 Thu Nov 4 11:16:03 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
556 * Makefile.in (install): Use INSTALL_DATA for gperf.1.
558 Mon Oct 25 18:40:51 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
560 * src/key-list.cc (Key_List::read_keys): Use POW macro
561 to increase hash table size to power of 2.
563 * options.h (LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS): New flag. Defaults to zero.
564 * gen-perf.cc, key-list.cc, read-line.cc:
565 Only stack-allocate large arrays if LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS is set.
566 * main.cc (main): Only call setrlimit (RLIMIT_STACK, ...)
567 if LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS.
569 Mon Oct 4 17:45:08 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
571 * src/gen-perf.cc: Always use ANSI rand/srand instead of BSDisms.
573 Wed Aug 18 12:19:53 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
575 * Makefile.in (src_all): Make less verbose output.
577 Fri May 28 14:01:18 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
579 * src/gen-perf.cc (Gen_Perf::change): Don't use gcc-specific
580 2-operand conditional expression.
581 * src/key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_array):
582 Don't use variable-size stack arrays, unless compiled by g++.
584 Tue May 4 14:08:44 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
586 Changes (mostly from Peter Schauer) to permit compilation
587 using cfront 3.0 and otherwise be ARM-conforming.
588 * src/key-list.h: class Key_List must use public derivation
589 of base class Std_Err (because Gen_Perf::operator() in gen-perf.cc
590 calls Std_Err::report_error).
591 * src/gen-perf.cc (Gen_Perf::affects_prev), src/hash-table.cc
592 (Hash_Table::operator()): Don't use gcc-specific 2-operand
593 conditional expression.
594 * src/iterator.cc (Iterator::operator()): Don't use gcc-specific
595 range construct in case label.
596 * key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_array, Key_List::read_keys),
597 src/gen-perf.cc (Gen_Perf::operator(), src/read-line.cc
598 (Read_Line::readln_aux): If not gcc, don't allocate
599 variable-sized arrays on stack.
600 * src/new.cc (operator new): Argument type should be size_t.
601 * key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_array, Key_List::read_keys),
602 new/cc (::operator new): Don't use non-standard >?= operator.
604 Tue Apr 27 20:11:30 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
606 * src/Makefile.in: Define TARGETPROG, and use it.
608 Mon Apr 19 00:29:18 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
610 * Makefile.in, configure.in: Re-vamped configure scheme.
611 * gperf.texinfo: Renamed to gperf.texi.
612 * src/bool-array.{h,cc}: ANSIfy bzero->memset.
614 Sat Jan 30 20:21:28 1993 Brendan Kehoe (brendan@lisa.cygnus.com)
616 * tests/Makefile.in (mostlyclean): Also delete aout, cout, m3out,
619 Tue Dec 29 08:58:17 1992 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@cygnus.com)
621 * Makefile.in: pass $(FLAGS_TO_PASS) to all calls to make.
622 (FLAGS_TO_PASS): added INSTALL, INSTALL_DATA, INSTALL_PROGRAM.
624 Mon Dec 21 18:46:46 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
626 * tests/expected.* renamed to *.exp to fit in 14 chars.
627 * tests/Makefile.in: Update accordingly.
628 Also rename output.* to *.out.
629 * src/Makefile.in (clean): Remove gperf program.
631 Wed Dec 9 14:33:34 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
633 * src/hash-table.cc, src/bool-array.h: ANSIfy bzero->memset.
635 Thu Dec 3 19:34:12 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
637 * Makefile.in (distclean, realclean): Don't delete
638 Makefile before recursing.
640 Fri Nov 6 13:41:49 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
642 * key-list.{h,cc}: Remove MAX_INT (and similar) constant
643 fields from Key_List class, and use INT_MAX (etc) from limits.h.
644 * key-list.{h,cc}, options.{h,cc}, vectors.h: Removed all
645 uses of initialized const fields, as they are non-standard
646 - and their use was easy to do away with. Mostly, just
647 made the constants static non-fields in the .cc file.
649 Mon Nov 2 13:10:11 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
651 * tests/Makefile.in: When generating cinset.c, don't pass -C,
652 since -C assumes an ANSI compiler. Add the -C flag (with -a)
653 when generating test.out.3 instead.
654 * tests/expected.out.3: Update accordingly.
656 Wed Aug 12 11:47:54 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
658 * Makefile.in: Factor out common flags into $(FLAGS_TO_PASS).
659 * Makefile.in: 'install-info' depends on gperf.info.
661 Mon Aug 10 11:39:52 1992 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@dumbest.cygnus.com)
663 * Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: always create installation
666 Mon Jul 20 15:33:21 1992 Mike Stump (mrs@cygnus.com)
668 * src/new.cc (operator new): Add cast from void * to char *,
669 since it is not a standard conversion.
671 Wed Jun 17 16:25:30 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
673 * src/gen-perf.cc: #include <_G_config.h> for _G_SYSV.
674 * src/key-list.cc: alloca() hair.
675 * src/main.cc (main): Only call getrlimit if _G_HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE.
676 * Makefile,in, {src,test}/Makefile.in: Fix *clean rules.
678 Fri May 29 13:21:13 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
680 * src/gen-perf.cc: Replace USG -> _G_SYSV.
682 Thu May 14 13:58:36 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
684 * src/Makefile.in: Don't pass obsolete flag -DUNLIMIT_STACK.
685 * tests/Makefile.in (clean): Fix.
687 Sat Mar 7 00:03:56 1992 K. Richard Pixley (rich@rtl.cygnus.com)
689 * gperf.texinfo: added menu item hook.
691 Wed Feb 26 18:04:40 1992 K. Richard Pixley (rich@cygnus.com)
693 * Makefile.in, configure.in: removed traces of namesubdir,
694 -subdirs, $(subdir), $(unsubdir), some rcs triggers. Forced
695 copyrights to '92, changed some from Cygnus to FSF.
697 Sun Jan 26 19:21:58 1992 Per Bothner (bothner at cygnus.com)
699 * tests/Makefile.in: Use re-directed stdin instead of file
700 name in argv. This allows us to remove the filename
701 from the output, the expected output, and hence the diffs.
702 (Note that the input file is in $(srcdir), which we cannot
703 place in the expected out files.)
704 * tests/expected.out.[1235]: Edit out input filename,
707 Thu Jun 28 16:17:27 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at brilliant)
709 * Wow, first fix on the new job! There was a dumb error
710 in Key_List::output_lookup_function, where I printed the
711 string "&wordlist[key]" instead of the correct "&wordlist[index]".
713 * Added a couple of #ifdefs for USG support.
715 Sun Jun 3 17:16:36 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
717 * Updated the version number to 2.5 and sent to Doug Lea for release
718 with the latest GNU libg++.
720 * Changed the error handling when a keyword file cannot be opened
723 Wed May 30 14:49:40 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
725 * Instrumented the source code with trace statements automagically
726 inserted using my new automated trace instrumentation tool!
728 Wed May 9 11:47:41 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
730 * Really fixed the previous bug. Turns out that a small amount
731 of logic had to be duplicated to handle static links that occur
732 as part of dynamic link chains. What a pain!!!
734 Tue May 8 23:11:44 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
736 * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_array that was
737 causing incorrect counts to be generated when there were both
738 static and dynamic links occurring for the same hash value.
739 Also simplified the code that performs the logic in this routine.
741 Mon Apr 30 17:37:24 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
743 * Fixed stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_array that was
744 making the generated lookup[] array contain `chars' even
745 when the values stored in the chars are greater than 127!
747 * Changed the behavior of the -G (global table) option so that it
748 will output the `length[]' array in the global scope along with
749 the `word_list[]' array.
751 * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_function that
752 would always output the complicated `duplicate-handling' lookup
753 logic, even when there were no duplicates in the input!
755 * Yikes, had to modify a bunch of stuff in key-list.cc to correctly
756 handle duplicate entries. Changed the generated code so that
757 the MIN_HASH_VALUE is no longer subtracted off when calculating
758 the hash value for a keyword. This required changing some other
759 code by substituting MAX_HASH_VALUE for TOTAL_KEYS in several places.
760 Finally, this means that the generated tables may contain leading
761 null entries, but I suppose it is better to trade-off space to get
762 faster performance...
764 Mon Mar 26 13:08:43 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
766 * Updated version number to 2.4 to reflect the latest changes.
768 * Changed the main program so that it always prints out gperf's
769 execution timings to the generated output file.
771 Sun Mar 25 12:39:30 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
773 * Added the -Z option so that users can specify the name of the
774 generated class explicitly. Updated documentation to reflect
777 * Modified the generated C++ class interface so that the functions
778 are declared static (to remove the overhead of passing the `this'
779 pointer). This means that operator()() can no longer be used,
780 since it only works on non-static member functions.
781 Also changed things so that there is no constructor (why waste
782 the extra call, when it doesn't do anything, eh?)
784 * Modified the behavior of Key_List::output when the -L C++ option
785 is enabled. Previously the code generated use const data members
786 to record MIN_WORD_LENGTH, MIN_HASH_VALUE, etc. However, as
787 pointed out by James Clark this may result in suboptimal behavior
788 on the part of C++ compilers that can't inline these values.
789 Therefore, the new behavior is identical to what happens with
790 -L C, i.e., either #defines or function-specific enums are used.
791 Why sacrifice speed for some abstract notion of `code purity?' ;-)
793 Tue Mar 6 18:17:42 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
795 * Added the -E option that defines constant values using an enum
796 local to the lookup function rather than with #defines. This
797 also means that different lookup functions can reside in the
798 same file. Thanks to James Clark (jjc@ai.mit.edu).
800 Sat Mar 3 20:19:00 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
802 * Added a special case to key_list::output_switch that doesn't
803 generate extra comparisons when the `-S' is given an argument
804 of 1 (the normal case). This should speed up the generated
807 Fri Feb 23 14:21:28 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
809 * Renamed all instances of member function get_keysig_size
810 to get_max_keysig_size, since this is more precise...
812 * Changed all occurrences of charset to keysig (stands for ``key
813 signature'') to reflect the new naming convention used in the
816 Thu Feb 22 11:28:36 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
818 * Changed the name of the generated associated values table from
819 asso_value to asso_values to reflect conventions in the USENIX
822 Thu Feb 15 23:29:03 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
824 * Updated the gperf.texinfo file to fix some formatting problems
825 that had crept in since last time.
827 Wed Feb 14 23:27:24 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
829 * Fixed stupid bug in key-list.cc (get_special_input), wher
830 gperf replaced each '%' with the succeeding character.
832 * Added support for multiple target language generation. Currently
833 handled languages are C and C++, with C as the default. Updated
834 documentation and option handler to reflect the changes.
836 * Added a global destructor to new.cc and removed the #ifdef, since
837 the bloody thing now works with libg++.
839 Mon Feb 14 13:00:00 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
841 * Found out that my gperf paper was accepted at the upcoming
842 USENIX C++ Conference in San Francisco. Yow!
844 Tue Jan 30 09:00:29 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
846 * #ifdef'd out the new.cc memory allocator, since there are
847 problems with this and the libg++ stuff.
849 * Changed key-list.h so that class Vectors is a public (rather
850 than private) base class for class Key_List. The previous
851 form was illegal C++, but wasn't being caught by the old
852 g++ compiler. Should work now... ;-)
854 Sun Dec 10 14:08:23 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
856 * Added several changes from rfg@ics.uci.edu. These changes
857 help to automate the build process.
859 Wed Nov 15 15:49:33 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
861 * Removed conditional compilation for GATHER_STATISTICS. There's
862 really no good reason to avoid collecting this info at run-time,
863 since that section of code is *hardly* the bottleneck... ;-)
865 * Simplified the C output routines in Key_List::set_output_types
866 and Key_List::output_keyword_table a bit in order to
867 speed-up and clean up the code generation.
869 * Modified function Key_List::get_special_input so that it does
870 not try to `delete' a buffer that turned out to be too short.
871 This is important since the new memory management scheme
872 does not handle deletions. However, adding a small amount of
873 garbage won't hurt anything, since we generally don't do this
874 operation more than a couple times *at most*!
876 * Created a new file (new.cc) which includes my own overloaded
877 operator new. This function should dramatically reduce the
878 number of calls to malloc since it grabs large chunks and
879 doles them out in small pieces. As a result of this change
880 the class-specific `operator new' was removed from class List_Node.
882 Tue Nov 14 21:45:30 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
884 * Continued to refine the great hack. The latest trick is to
885 try and replace most uses of dynamic memory (i.e., calls to
886 new) with uses of gcc dynamic arrays (i.e., an alloca solution).
887 This makes life much easier for the overall process-size, since
888 it reduces the amount of overhead for memory management. As a
889 side-effect from this change there is no reason to have the
890 Bool_Array::dispose member function, so it's outta here!
892 * Fixed a stupid bug that was an disaster waiting to happen...
893 Instead of making the boolean array large enough to index
894 max_hash_value it was only large enough to index max_hash_value
895 - 1. Once again, an off-by-one mistake in C/C++!!!!
897 Mon Nov 13 19:38:27 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
899 * Added the final great hack! This allows us to generate hash tables
900 for near-perfect hash functions that contain duplicates, *without*
901 having to use switch statements! Since many compilers die on large
902 switch statements this feature is essential. Furthermore, it appears
903 that the generated code is often *smaller* than that put out by
904 compilers, even though a large, sparse array must be created.
905 Here's the general idea:
907 a. Generate the wordlist as a contiguous block of keywords,
908 just as before when using a switch statement. This
909 wordlist *must* be sorted by hash value.
911 b. Generate the lookup array, which is an array of signed
912 {chars,shorts,ints}, (which ever allows full coverage of
913 the wordlist dimensions). If the value v, where v =
914 lookup[hash(str,len)], is >= 0 and < TOTAL_KEYWORDS, then we
915 simply use this result as a direct access into the wordlist
916 array to snag the keyword for comparison.
918 c. Otherwise, if v is < -TOTAL_KEYWORDS or > TOTAL_KEYWORDS
919 this is an indication that we'll need to search through
920 some number of duplicates hash values. Using a hash
921 linking scheme we'd then index into a different part of
922 the hash table that provides the starting index and total
923 length of the duplicate entries to find via linear search!
925 Sun Nov 12 13:48:10 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
927 * Simplified Key_List::output_min_max considerably by recognizing
928 that since the keyword list was already sorted by hash value finding
929 the min and max values is trivial!
931 * Improved the debugging diagnostics considerably in classes Key_List,
932 Hash_Table, and Gen_Perf.
934 * Modified the `-s' option so that a negative argument is now
935 interpreted to mean `allow the maximum associated value to be
936 about x times *smaller* than the number of input keys.' This
937 should help prevent massive explosion of generated hash table
938 size for large keysets.
940 Sat Nov 11 11:31:13 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
942 * Added a field in class Key_List that counts the total number
943 of duplicate keywords, both static and dynamic.
945 * Added a new member function Bool_Array that deletes the dynamic
946 memory allocated to Bool_Array::storage_array. This space may
947 be needed for subsequent options, so it made sense to free it as
950 * Renamed file/class Alpha_Vectors to Vectors, to avoid problems
951 with 14 character length filenames on SYSV. Also changed file
952 adapredefined.gperf to adadefs.gperf in the ./tests directory.
954 * Modified class Options by changing the member function
955 Options::total_positions to Options::get_charset_size and
956 Options::set_charset_size. These two routines now either return
957 the total charset size *or* the length of the largest keyword
958 if the user specifies the -k'*' (ALLCHARS) option. This change
959 cleans up client code.
961 * Merged all the cperf changes into gperf.
963 * Made sure to explicitly initialize perfect.fewest_collisions to
966 * Cleaned up some loose ends noticed by Nels Olson.
967 1. Removed `if (collisions <= perfect.fewest_collisions)'
968 from Gen_Perf::affects_prev since it was superfluous.
969 2. Removed the fields best_char_value and best_asso_value
970 from Gen_Perf. There were also unnecessary.
971 3. Fixed a braino in the Bool_Array::bool_array_reset
972 function. Since iteration numbers can never be zero
973 the `if (bool_array.iteration_number++ == 0)' must be
974 `if (++bool_array.iteration_number == 0).'
975 4. Modified Std_Err::report_error so that it correctly handles
978 * It is important to note that -D no longer enables -S.
979 There is a good reason for this change, which will become
980 manifested in the next release... (suspense!).
982 * Made some subtle changes to Key_List::print_switch so that if finally
983 seems to work correctly. Needs more stress testing, however...
985 * Made a major change to the Key_List::print_switch function.
986 The user can now specify the number of switch statements to generate
987 via an argument to the -S option, i.e., -S1 means `generate 1
988 switch statement with all keywords in it,' -S2 means generate
989 2 switch statements with 1/2 the elements in each one, etc.
990 Hopefully this will fix the problem with C compilers not being
991 able to generate code for giant switch statements (but don't
994 * Changed Key_List::length function to Key_List::keyword_list_length.
996 * Added a feature to main.c that prints out the starting wall-clock
997 time before the program begins and prints out the ending wall-clock
998 time when the program is finished.
1000 * Added the GATHER_STATISTICS code in hash-table.c so we can
1001 keep track of how well double hashing is doing. Eventually,
1002 GATHER_STATISTICS will be added so that all instrumentation
1003 code can be conditionally compiled in.
1005 * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::print_switch routine. This
1006 was necessary to make sure the generated switch statement worked
1007 correctly when *both* `natural,' i.e., static links and dynamic
1008 links, i.e., unresolved duplicates, hash to the same value.
1010 * Modified Bool_Array::~Bool_Array destructor so that
1011 it now frees the bool_array.storage_array when it is no longer
1012 needed. Since this array is generally very large it makes sense
1013 to return the memory to the freelist when it is no longer in use.
1015 * Changed the interface to constructor Hash_Table::Hash_Table. This
1016 constructor now passed a pointer to a power-of-two sized buffer that
1017 serve as storage for the hash table. Although this weakens information
1018 hiding a little bit it greatly reduces dynamic memory fragmentation,
1019 since we can now obtain the memory via a call to alloca, rather
1020 than malloc. This change modified Key_List::read_keys calling
1023 * Since alloca is now being used more aggressively a conditional
1024 compilation section was added in main.c. Taken from GNU GCC,
1025 this code gets rid of any avoidable limit on stack size so that
1026 alloca does not fail. It is only used if the -DRLIMIT_STACK
1027 symbol is defined when gperf is compiled.
1029 * Added warnings in option.c so that user's would be informed
1030 that -r superceeds -i on the command-line.
1032 * Rewrote Gen_Perf::affects_prev. First, the code structure
1033 was cleaned up considerably (removing the need for a dreaded
1034 goto!). Secondly, a major change occurred so that Gen_Perf::affects_prev
1035 returns FALSE (success) when fewest_hits gets down to whatever
1036 it was after inserting the previous key (instead of waiting for
1037 it to reach 0). In other words, it stops trying if it can
1038 resolve the new collisions added by a key, even if there are
1039 still other old, unresolved collisions. This modification was
1040 suggested by Nels Olson and seems to *greatly* increase the
1041 speed of gperf for large keyfiles. Thanks Nels!
1043 * In a similar vein, inside the Gen_Perf::change routine
1044 the variable `perfect.fewest_collisions is no longer initialized
1045 with the length of the keyword list. Instead it starts out at
1046 0 and is incremented by 1 every time change () is called.
1047 The rationale for this behavior is that there are times when a
1048 collision causes the number of duplicates (collisions) to
1049 increase by a large amount when it would presumably just have
1050 gone up by 1 if none of the asso_values were changed. That is,
1051 at the beginning of change(), you could initialize fewest_hits
1052 to 1+(previous value of fewest_hits) instead of to the number of
1053 keys. Thanks again, Nels.
1055 * Replaced alloca with new in the Gen_Perf::change function.
1056 This should eliminate some overhead at the expense of a little
1057 extra memory that is never reclaimed.
1059 * Renamed Gen_Perf::merge_sets to Gen_Perf::compute_disjoint_union
1060 to reflect the change in behavior.
1062 * Added the -e option so users can supply a string containing
1063 the characters used to separate keywords from their attributes.
1064 The default behavior is ",\n".
1066 * Removed the char *uniq_set field from LIST_NODE and modified
1067 uses of uniq_set in perfect.c and keylist.c. Due to changes
1068 to Gen_Perf::compute_disjoint_sets this field was no longer
1069 necessary, and its removal makes the program smaller and
1072 * Added lots of changes/fixes suggested by Nels Olson
1073 (umls.UUCP!olson@mis.ucsf.edu). In particular:
1074 1. Changed Bool_Array so that it would dynamically create
1075 an array of unsigned shorts rather than ints if the
1076 LO_CAL symbol was defined during program compilation.
1077 This cuts the amount of dynamic memory usage in half,
1078 which is important for large keyfile input.
1079 2. Added some additional debugging statements that print extra
1080 info to stderr when the -d option is enabled.
1081 3. Fixed a really stupid bug in Key_List::print_switch
1082 A right paren was placed at the wrong location, which broke
1084 4. Fixed a subtle problem with printing case values when keylinks
1085 appear. The logic failed to account for the fact that there
1086 can be keylinks *and* regular node info also!
1087 5. Changed the behavior of Key_List::read_keys so that it would
1088 honor -D unequivocally, i.e., it doesn't try to turn off dup
1089 handling if the user requests it, even if there are no
1090 immediate links in the keyfile input.
1091 6. Modified the -j option so that -j 0 means `try random values
1092 when searching for a way to resolve collisions.'
1093 7. Added a field `num_done' to the Gen_Perf struct. This is used
1094 to report information collected when trying to resolve
1096 8. Modified the merge_sets algorithm to perform a disjoint
1097 union of two multisets. This ensures that subsequent
1098 processing in Gen_Perf::affect_prev doesn't
1099 waste time trying to change an associated value that is
1100 shared between two conflicting keywords.
1101 9. Modified Gen_Perf::affects_prev so that it doesn't try
1102 random jump values unless the -j 0 option is enabled.
1103 10. Fixed a silly bug in Gen_Perf::change. This problem caused
1104 gperf to seg fault when the -k* option was given and the
1105 keyfile file had long keywords.
1107 Sun Oct 29 00:18:55 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1109 * Modified class-specific new operations for Read_Line and
1110 List_Node so they don't fail if SIZE is larger than twice
1111 the previous buffer size. Note we double buffer size
1112 everytime the previous buffer runs out, as a heuristic
1113 to reduce future calls to malloc.
1115 Sun Oct 22 13:49:43 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1117 * Updated gperf version number to 2.0. Send to Doug Lea for
1118 incorporation into the long-awaited `official' libg++ 1.36
1121 * Thanks to Nels Olson a silly bug in Gen_Perf::change ()
1122 was fixed. This problem caused gperf to seg fault when
1123 the -k* option was given and the keyfile file had long
1126 * Modified Key_List::print_hash_function so that it output
1127 max_hash_value + 1 (rather than just max_hash_value) for
1128 any associated value entries that don't correspond to
1129 keyword charset characters. This should speed up rejection
1130 of non-keyword strings a little in some cases.
1132 Sat Oct 21 19:28:36 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1134 * Fixed Key_List::print_hash_function so that it no longer output
1135 things like `return 0 + ...' Although this probably gets
1136 optimized away by even the worst C compilers there isn't any
1137 point tempting fate... ;-)
1139 * Fixed class List_Node's constructor so that it wouldn't a priori
1140 refuse to consider trying to hash keys whose length is less
1141 than the smallest user-specified key position. It turns out
1142 this is not a problem unless the user also specifies the -n
1143 (NOLENGTH) option, in which case such keys most likely
1144 don't have a prayer of being hashed correctly!
1146 * Changed the name of the generated lookup table from `Hash_Table'
1147 to `asso_value' to be consistent with the gperf paper.
1149 Tue Oct 17 14:19:48 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1151 * Added a flag GATHER_STATISTICS in the Makefile. If defined
1152 during compilation this turns on certain collection facilities
1153 that track the performance of gperf during its execution. In
1154 particular, I want to see how many collisions occur for the
1155 double hashing Hash_Table.
1157 * Added a safety check so that we don't screw up if the total
1158 number of `resets' of the Bool_Array exceeds MAX_INT. Since
1159 this number is around 2^31 it is unlikely that this would ever
1160 occur for most input, but why take the risk?
1162 * Changed the behavior for the -a (ANSI) option so that the
1163 generated prototypes use int rather than size_t for the LEN
1164 parameter. It was too ugly having to #include <stddef.h> all
1167 Mon Oct 16 11:00:35 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1169 * Continued to work on the gperf paper for the USENIX C++
1170 conference. At some point this will be merged back into
1171 the gperf documentation...
1173 Sat Oct 14 20:29:43 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1175 * Added a majorly neat hack to Bool_Array, suggested by rfg.
1176 The basic idea was to throw away the Ullman array technique.
1177 The Ullman array was used to remove the need to reinitialize all
1178 the Bool_Array elements to zero everytime we needed to determine
1179 whether there were duplicate hash values in the keyword list.
1180 The current trick uses an `iteration number' scheme, which takes
1181 about 1/3 the space and reduces the overall program running a
1182 time by about 20 percent for large input! The hack works as
1185 1. Dynamically allocation 1 boolean array of size k.
1186 2. Initialize the boolean array to zeros, and consider the first
1187 iteration to be iteration 1.
1188 2. Then on all subsequent iterations we `reset' the bool array by
1189 kicking the iteration count by 1.
1190 3. When it comes time to check whether a hash value is currently
1191 in the boolean array we simply check its index location. If
1192 the value stored there is *not* equal to the current iteration
1193 number then the item is clearly *not* in the set. In that
1194 case we assign the iteration number to that array's index
1195 location for future reference. Otherwise, if the item at
1196 the index location *is* equal to the iteration number we've
1197 found a duplicate. No muss, no fuss!
1199 Mon Oct 2 12:30:54 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1201 * Changed some consts in options.h to enumerals, since g++
1202 doesn't seem to like them at the moment!
1204 Sat Sep 30 12:55:24 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1206 * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::print_hash_function that manifested
1207 itself if the `-k$' option was given (i.e., only use the key[length]
1208 character in the hash function).
1210 * Added support for the -C option. This makes the contents of
1211 all generated tables `readonly'.
1213 * Changed the handling of generated switches so that there is
1214 only one call to str[n]?cmp. This *greatly* reduces the size of
1215 the generated assembly code on all compilers I've seen.
1217 * Fixed a subtle bug that occurred when the -l and -S option
1218 was given. Code produced looked something like:
1220 if (len != key_len || !strcmp (s1, resword->name)) return resword;
1222 which doesn't make any sense. Clearly, this should be:
1224 if (len == key_len && !strcmp (s1, resword->name)) return resword;
1226 Tue Sep 26 10:36:50 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1228 * Changed class Read_Line's definition so that it no longer
1229 needs to know about the buffering scheme used to speed up
1230 dynamic memory allocation of input keywords and their
1231 associated attributes. This means that operator new is no longer
1232 a friend of Read_Line.
1234 Mon Sep 25 23:17:10 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1236 * Decided that Obstacks had too much overhead, so they were
1237 removed in favor of super-efficient, low-overhead buffered
1238 storage allocation hacks in Read_Line and List_Node.
1240 * No longer try to inline functions that g++ complains about
1241 (Key_List::Merge and Key_List::Merge_Sort).
1243 Sun Sep 24 13:11:24 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1245 * Changed classes Read_Line and List_Node to use Obstacks in order
1246 to cache memory allocation for keyword strings and List_Nodes.
1248 * Continued to experiment with inheritance schemes.
1250 * Added a new file `alpha.h', that declares static data shared
1251 (i.e., inherited) between classes List_Node and Key_List.
1253 Tue Sep 12 16:14:41 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1255 * Made numerous changes to incorporate multiple inheritance in
1258 Wed Aug 16 23:04:08 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1260 * Added the -DCOMPILER_FIXED flag to the ./src/Makefile. This
1261 implies that people trying to compile gperf need to have a
1262 working version of the new g++ compiler (1.36.0).
1264 * Removed some extra spaces that were being added in the generated
1267 Mon Jul 24 17:09:46 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1269 * Fixed PRINT_HASH_FUNCTION and PRINT_LOOKUP_FUNCTION in keylist.c
1270 so that the generated functions take an unsigned int length argument.
1271 If -a is enabled the prototype is (const char *str, size_t len).
1273 Fri Jul 21 13:06:15 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1275 * Fixed a typo in PRINT_KEYWORD_TABLE in keylist.cc that prevented
1276 the indentation from working correctly.
1278 * Fixed a horrible typo in PRINT_KEYWORD_TABLE in keylist.cc
1279 that prevented links from being printed correctly.
1281 Tue Jul 18 16:04:31 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1283 * Fixed up readline.cc and readline.h so that they work OK
1284 with g++ compilers that aren't completely up-to-date.
1285 If symbol COMPILER_FIXED is defined then the behavior
1286 that works on my more recent version of g++ is enabled.
1288 Sun Jul 9 17:53:28 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1290 * Changed the ./tests subdirectory Makefile so that it
1291 uses $(CC) instead of gcc.
1293 Sun Jul 2 21:52:15 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1295 * Fixed a number of subtle bugs that occurred when -S was
1296 combined with various and sundry options.
1298 * Added the -G option, that makes the generated keyword table
1299 a global static variable, rather than hiding it inside
1300 the lookup function. This allows other functions to directly
1301 access the contents in this table.
1303 * Added the "#" feature, that allows comments inside the keyword
1304 list from the input file. Comment handling takes place in readline.c.
1305 This simplifies the code and reduces the number of malloc calls.
1307 * Also added the -H option (user can give the name of the hash
1308 function) and the -T option (prevents the transfer of the type decl
1309 to the output file, which is useful if the type is already defined
1312 Thu Jun 22 20:39:39 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1314 * Modified many classes so that they would inherit Std_Err as
1315 a base class. This makes things more abstract...
1317 Fri Jun 16 14:23:00 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1319 * Modified the -f (FAST) option. This now takes an argument.
1320 The argument corresponds to the number of iterations used
1321 to resolve collisions. -f 0 uses the length of the
1322 keyword list (which is what -f did before). This makes
1323 life much easier when dealing with large keyword files.
1325 Tue Jun 6 17:53:27 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1327 * Added the -c (comparison) option. Enabling this
1328 will use the strncmp function for string comparisons.
1329 The default is to use strcmp.
1331 * Fixed a typo in key_list.cc (PRINT_SWITCH). This caused
1332 faulty C code to be generated when the -D, -p, and -t
1333 options were all enabled.
1335 Thu May 25 14:07:21 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1337 * Once again, changed class Read_Line to overload global operator
1338 new. Hopefully, this will work...!
1340 Sun May 21 01:51:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1342 * Modified Key_List::print_hash_function () so that it properly
1343 formats the associated values in the hash table according to
1344 the maximum number of digits required to represent the largest
1347 * Removed the named return value from class Hash_Table's
1348 operator (), since this causes a seg fault when -O is enabled.
1349 No sense tripping subtle g++ bugs if we don't have to.... ;-)
1351 * Removed the operator new hack from Read_Line, since this seemed
1352 to create horrible bus error problems.
1354 * Changed many class member functions and data members to be `static',
1355 if they don't manipulate this!
1357 Fri May 12 23:06:56 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1359 * Changed class Std_Err to use static member functions, a la
1360 Ada or Modula 2. This eliminates the need for an explicit
1361 error-handler class object.
1363 * Added the ``named return value'' feature to Hash_Table::operator ()
1364 and Bool_Array::operator [], just for the heck of it.... ;-)
1366 * Changed the previous hack in Read_Line so that we now use
1367 the overloaded global `new' instead of NEW_STRING!
1369 Wed May 3 17:36:55 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1371 * Updated to version 1.7. This reflects the recent major changes
1374 * Modified the GNU getopt.cc routine to have a class-based interface.
1376 * Fixed a typo in Perfect.cc ~Perfect that prevented the actual maximum
1377 hash table size from being printed (maybe the stream classes
1378 weren't so bad after all.... ;-).
1380 * Added support for the -f option. This generates the perfect
1381 hash function ``fast.'' It reduces the execution time of
1382 gperf, at the cost of minimizing the range of hash values.
1384 Tue May 2 16:23:29 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1386 * Added an efficiency hack to Read_Line. Instead of making
1387 a call to operator NEW (a.k.a. malloc) for each input string
1388 a new member function NEW_STRING stores a large buffer from
1389 which new strings are carved out, growing the buffer if
1390 necessary. It might be useful to add this throughout the
1393 * Removed all unnecessary calls to DELETE. If the program is about
1394 to exit it is silly to waste time freeing memory.
1396 * Added the GNU getopt program to the distribution. This makes
1397 GPERF portable to systems that don't include getopt in libc.
1399 * Added a strcspn member to class Key_List. This also increases
1402 * Added the get_include_src function from keylist.c as a member
1403 function in class Key_List. Hopefully every function is
1404 now associated with a class. This aids abstraction and
1407 * Ported gperf to C. From now on both K&R C and GNU G++ versions
1408 will be supported. There will be two ChangeLog files, one
1409 for each version of the program.
1411 Mon May 1 16:41:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1413 * Fixed a bug with -k'*'. This now prints out *all* the cases
1414 up to the length of the longest word in the keyword set.
1416 Sun Apr 30 12:15:25 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1418 * Removed all use of the stream classes. Too ugly, slow, and
1419 not handled by the c++-mode formatter....
1421 * Modified the handling of links (i.e., keywords that have
1422 identical hash values as other keywords). This should
1423 speed up hash function generation for keyword sets with
1424 many duplicate entries. The trick is to treat duplicate
1425 values as equivalence classes, so that each set of duplicate
1426 values is represented only once in the main list processing.
1428 * Fixed some capitialization typos and indentations mistakes in
1429 Key_List::print_hash_function.
1431 Sat Apr 29 12:04:03 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1433 * Fixed a typo/logico in Key_List::print_switch that prevented
1434 the last keyword in the keyword list to be print out. This
1435 requires further examination.....
1437 * Fixed a stupid bug in List_Node::List_node. If the -k'*' option
1438 was enabled the KEY_SET string wasn't getting terminated with
1441 Fri Apr 28 12:38:35 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1443 * Renamed strexp.h and strexp.cc to iterator.h and iterator.cc.
1444 Also changed the strexp class to iterator. Continued to work
1447 * Updated the version number to 1.6. This reflects all the
1450 Thu Apr 27 00:14:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1452 * Added the -D option that properly handles keyword sets that
1453 contain duplicate hash values.
1455 * Continued the stylistic changes. Added the #pragma once
1456 directive to all the *.h files. Removed all #defines and
1457 replaced them with static consts. Also moved the key_sort
1458 routine from options.cc into the options class as a
1461 Mon Apr 3 13:26:55 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1463 * Made massive stylistic changes to bring source code into
1464 conformance with GNU style guidelines.
1466 Thu Mar 30 23:28:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1468 * Fixed up the output routines so that they generate code
1469 corresponding to the GNU style guidelines.
1471 Sat Mar 11 13:12:37 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1473 * Fixed Stderr constructors so that they wouldn't try to
1474 use the base class initializer syntax for the static
1475 class variable Program_Name. G++ 1.34 is stricter in
1476 enforcing the rules!
1478 Fri Mar 10 11:24:14 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1480 * Removed -v and ``| more'' from the Makefile to keep rfg happy...
1482 Thu Mar 2 12:37:30 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1484 * Sent latest GNU gperf version 1.5 to Doug Lea for inclusion
1485 into libg++ 1.34. Note that there is a small bug with
1486 the new %{ ... %} source inclusion facility, since it doesn't
1487 understand comments and will barf if %{ or %} appear nested
1488 inside the outermost delimiters. This is too trivial of
1489 a defect to fix at the moment...
1491 Tue Feb 28 11:19:58 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1493 * Added the -K option, which allows the user to provide a
1494 alternative name for the keyword structure component.
1495 The default is still ``name.''
1497 * Added the LEX and YACC-like ability to include arbitrary
1498 text at the beginning of the generated C source code output.
1499 This required two new functions Get_Special_Input,
1500 Key_List::Save_Include_Src;
1502 * Fixed memory allocation bug in Key_List::Set_Types.
1503 Variable Return_Type needs 1 additional location
1504 to store the "*" if the -p option is used.
1506 * Added code to NULL terminate both Struct_Tag and Return_Type,
1507 *after* the strncpy (stupid mistake).
1509 Mon Feb 27 14:39:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1511 * Added a new option -N. This allows the user to specify the
1512 name to be used for the generated lookup function. The
1513 default name is still ``in_word_set.'' This makes it
1514 possible to completely automate the perfect hash function
1517 Mon Feb 20 23:33:14 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1519 * Corrected the Hash_Table::operator () function so that
1520 *it* is responsible for deciding when a new key has the
1521 same signature as a previously seen key. The key length
1522 information is now used internally to this function to
1523 decide whether to add to the hash table those keys with
1524 the same key sets, but different lengths. Before, this
1525 was handled by the Key_List::Read_Keys function. However,
1526 this failed to work for certain duplicate keys, since
1527 they weren't being entered into the hash table properly.
1529 Sun Feb 19 16:02:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1531 * Modified class Options by moving the enum Option_Type out
1532 of the class. This is to satisfy the new enumeration
1535 Sun Jan 15 15:12:09 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1537 * Incremented the version number upto 1.4 to reflect the new
1538 options that affect the generated code. Send the new
1539 distribution off to Michael for use with g++ 1.33.
1541 * Added a fix to Key_List::Read_Keys so that it checks for links
1542 properly when the -n option is used. Previously, it didn't
1543 catch obvious links, which caused it to spend large amount
1544 of time searching for a solution that could never occur!
1546 * Modified the Key_List data structure to record *both* the
1547 minimum and the maximum key lengths. This information
1548 is now computed in Key_List::Read_Keys, and thus
1549 Key_List::Print_Min_Max doesn't need to bother.
1551 * Modifed the key position iterator scheme in options.cc to
1552 eliminate the need for member function Options::Advance.
1553 Now, the Options::Get function performs the advancement
1554 automatically, obviating the need for an extra function call.
1556 * Added the new function Options::Print_Options, to print out
1557 the user-specified command line options to generated C
1560 * Added a new function, Key_List::Print_Keylength_Table,
1561 which creates a table of lengths for use in speeding
1562 up the keyword search. This also meant that a new
1563 option, -l (LENTABLE) is recognized. It controls
1564 whether the length table is printed and the comparison
1565 made in the generated function ``in_word_set.''
1567 * Added a comment at the top of the generated C code
1568 output file that tells what version of gperf was used.
1569 Next, I'll also dump out the command line options
1570 as a comment too. Thanks to Michael Tiemann for the
1573 * Fixed the -n option to make it work correctly with
1574 other parts of the program (most notably the Perfect::Hash
1575 function and the computation of minimum and maximum lengths.
1577 Fri Jan 13 21:25:27 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1579 * Realized the the need to add a test that will enable
1580 optimziation of the generated C code in the ``hash'' function
1581 by checking whether all the requested key positions are
1582 guaranteed to exist due to the comparison in `in_word_set.''
1583 I'll put this in soon....
1585 Thu Jan 12 20:09:21 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1587 * Added pascal, modula3, and modula2 tests inputs to the
1590 * Recognised that there is a bug with the -n option. However
1591 I'm too busy to fix it properly, right now. The problem
1592 is that the generated #define end up being 0, since that's
1593 my hack to make -n work. This needs complete rethinking!
1595 Tue Jan 10 00:08:16 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1597 * Added a new option, -n, that instructs gperf to not use the
1598 length of an identifier when computing the hash functions.
1599 I'm not sure how useful this is!
1601 * Retransmitted the distribution to rocky.oswego.edu. Hopefully,
1604 * Began fixing the indentation and capitalization to conform
1605 to the GNU coding guidelines.
1607 Mon Jan 9 22:23:18 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at pompe.ics.uci.edu)
1609 * Fixed horrible bug in Read_Line::Readln_Aux. This was
1610 a subtle and pernicous off-by-1 error, that overwrote
1611 past the last character of the input string buffer. I
1612 think this fault was killing the vax!
1614 * Yow, fixed an oversight in List_Node::List_Node, where the
1615 pointer field Next was uninitialized. Luckily, the new routine
1616 seems to return 0 filled objects the first time through!
1618 Sun Jan 8 13:43:14 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1620 * Modified the ``key linked'' diagnostic in Key_List::Read_Keys
1621 to be more helpful and easy to read.
1623 * Fixed the List_Node::List_Node so that it would ignore trailing
1624 fields if the -t option was not enabled.
1626 * Moved the List_Node declarations out of keylist.h and
1627 into a file of its own, called listnode.cc and listnode.h
1628 Made Set_Sort a member function of class List_Node.
1630 * Massively updated the documentation in the gperf.texinfo file.
1632 * Polished off the major revision to the print functions,
1633 added a few new tests in the Makefile to check for the
1634 validity of the program and ftp'ed the entire distribution
1635 off to Doug Lea for libg++. ( changed it to
1636 1.3 to reflect the major changes with the generated
1639 * Fixed Key_List::Print_Switch to deal with the -p and -t options.
1640 This meant that the ``still-born'' function Key_List::
1641 Print_Type_Switch was superflous, so I removed it.
1642 Also, removed the restriction in Option that the -p and
1643 -t options couldn't be used simultaneously.
1645 * Modified List_Node::List_Node, to perform only 1 call to
1646 ``new'' when dynamically allocating memory for the Key_Set
1649 Sat Jan 7 14:10:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1651 * Fixed a big bug with the new policy of nesting the
1652 wordlist inside of generated function ``in_word_set.''
1653 I'd forgotten to declare the wordlist array as static!
1656 * Added a new function Key_List::Set_Types, that figures out
1657 the return type for generated function ``in_word_set,''
1658 the user-defined ``struct tag,'' if one is used, and also
1659 formates the array type for the static local array.
1661 * Changed the print routines to take advantage of the
1664 * Began adding the hooks to allow the return of a pointer
1665 to a user defined struct location from the generated
1666 ``in_word_set'' function instead of the current 0 or 1
1667 return value. Created function Key_List::Print_Type_Switch
1668 and added option -p to class Option, allowing the user to
1669 request generation of the aforementioned pointers returned
1670 instead of booleans.
1672 * Put in checks in class Option to make sure that -S and -t
1673 options are not used simultaneously. This restriction
1674 will be removed in subsequent releases, once I decide on
1675 a clean way to implement it.
1677 * Sent version 1.2 to Doug Lea for possible inclusion into
1678 the libg++ distribution.
1680 * Moved the static word_list array inside the generated function
1681 in_word_set. This supports better data hiding.
1683 * Added a texinfo file, gperf.texinfo
1685 * Revised the Makefile to cleanup the droppings from texinfo
1686 and changed the name of gperf.cc and gperf.h to perfect.cc
1689 Fri Jan 6 13:04:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1691 * Implemented the switch statement output format. Much better
1692 for large datasets in terms of space used.
1694 * Added new functions to break up the Key_List::Output function.
1695 Functions added were Key_List::Print_Switch, Key_List::Print_Min_Max,
1696 Key_List::Print_Keyword_Table, Key_List::Print_Hash_Function,
1697 and Key_List::Print_Lookup_Function. This simplifies the
1698 big mess in Key_List::Output considerably!
1700 * Added switch statement option to Options, which potentially
1701 trades time for space in the generated lookup code.
1703 Thu Jan 5 22:46:34 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1705 * Released version 1.1
1707 * Fixed a bug with Gperf::Merge_Set, it was skipping letters shared
1708 between the Set_1 and Set_2.
1710 * Added the optimal min/max algorithm in Key_List::Output. This
1711 runs in O ( 3n/2 ), rather than O ( 2n ) time.
1713 * Changed Gperf::Sort_Set to use insertion sort, rather than
1716 * Added a check in Key_List::Output for the special case where
1717 the keys used are 1,$. It is possible to generate more
1718 efficient C code in this case.
