Thu Jun 17 18:04:30 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/test-[1-5].exp: Fixed all the tests to account for the new
EBCDIC output.
Thu Jun 17 17:25:00 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_hash_function): Generate an asso_values
table that will have the appropriate values for both EBCDIC or
ASCII, depending on the platform.
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_hash_function),
src/Gen_Perf.cpp (Gen_Perf),
src/Vectors.h: Replaced the use of ALPHA_SIZE with
ACE_STANDARD_CHARACTER_SET_SIZE, which works correctly for
EBCDIC platforms, as well as ASCII ones. Thanks to
Jim Rogers <jrogers@viasoft.com> for this suggestion.
Wed Jun 16 19:08:01 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp: Fixed the key_word table generation so that it
generates the "default fill" string for the null entries in the
table. Thanks to Irfan and Naga for helping in this.
Sun Jun 6 15:47:23 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@danzon.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_switch): Make sure to generate "const
char *resword;" rather than "char *resword" since otherwise C++
compilers correctly complain.
* tests: Fixed a bunch of warnings related to misuses of "const
char *".
Sun Jun 6 10:30:09 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/test-4.exp: Fixed another use of "index". Thanks to David
Levine for reporting this.
Sat Jun 5 23:17:39 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@danzon.cs.wustl.edu>
* Replaced all uses of "index" with "slot" to avoid problems with
broken C++ compilers that define a macro called "index".
Tue May 4 14:24:27 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.cpp (parse_args): Removed %a flag from -v option and
used ACE_OS::exit (0) instead.
Mon Apr 26 15:42:54 1999 Ossama Othman <othman@cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/test-{1,2,3,4,5}.exp: Forgot to update the expected test
output to reflect the version string update listed below.
Mon Apr 26 10:42:08 1999 Ossama Othman <othman@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Version.cpp (version_string): Updated version string to "2.8
(ACE version)" since 2.7 is used by the old Cygnus maintained
gperf.
* src/*.{h,cpp}: Updated copyright/distribution information to GPL
v2 style notice.
Sun Apr 25 16:16:12 1999 Ossama Othman <othman@cs.wustl.edu>
* mdate-sh: Added this file to the CVS repository. It will be
used once the auto{conf,make} integrations are in place.
Sun Apr 25 16:13:40 1999 Ossama Othman <othman@cs.wustl.edu>
* COPYING: Updated to GPL version 2.
Sat Apr 24 18:18:35 1999 Ossama Othman <othman@cs.wustl.edu>
* gperf.1:
* gperf.info:
* gperf.texi: Added missing quote, cosmetic fix, regenerated
gperf.info.
* src/Key_List.cpp
* src/Options.h:
* src/Options.cpp: Merged Cygnus patch that allows the user to
specify a default fill expression/value in the keyword table.
Updated help message with new `-F' option. Made some cosmetic
fixes to the help message, too.
* tests/test.cpp: Minor spelling correction in comment
* tests/test-6.exp: Updated with new expected gperf output.
Mon Nov 9 23:37:09 1998 Vishal Kachroo <vishal@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp: Fixed the problem with Binary and Linear
Search code.
Sat Oct 10 18:40:56 1998 Vishal Kachroo <vishal@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/test-6.exp (Usage): copied the output of gperf -h option
into test-6.exp. This test was failing because it didn't have
the -b option previously. Thanks to David for reporting the
failure of tests.
* src/Options.cpp : Changed the option case 'h' to include the
following line " -b/t Code for Linear Search".
Fri Oct 9 01:06:56 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.cpp :
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_linear_search_function): Changed option
-z to -b for generating linear search. Removed <len> parameter
from the lookup code. We dont need <len> in the generated code
in the case of linear/binary search options.
Thu Oct 8 17:40:19 1998 Vishal Kachroo <vishal@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Gen_Perf.cpp (run): added the linear search changes.

* src/Key_List.cpp (Key_List): Fixed g++ warnings.
Tue Oct 6 02:48:37 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
Thanks to Vishal the following things have been done to get Binary
Search code generated from GPERF.
* src/Options.cpp (parse_args): Added the -B option for the binary
search.
* src/Options.h (enum Option_Type): Added the BINARYSEARCH in the
enumeration.
* src/Key_List.cpp : Added the function
output_binary_search_function(void). Changed the output function
to include the Binary Search option. Used option[BINARYSEARCH]
to distinguish the binary search case from the hashing case.
* src/Key_List.h : Added the prototype for
output_binary_search_function. Also added the key_sort variable
to enable sorting based on key values.
Mon Oct 5 18:24:15 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Gen_Perf: Created a new function that allows us to split the
binary search and perfect hash logic apart. Thanks to Vishal
and Alex for reporting this.
* src/Key_List.cpp (dump): Fixed the unsigned problems with line
1502 YET again... Thanks to David/Darrell for reporting this.
Sun Oct 4 20:42:56 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

lookups to switch-based lookups. Thanks to Carlos for reporting
this.
Sat Oct 3 19:36:52 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.h:
* src/Options.cpp:
* src/Key_List.h:
* src/Key_List.cpp: Reverted all the changes done for Binary
Search.
Sat Oct 3 17:51:10 1998 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

Sat Oct 3 13:47:40 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_binary_search_function): Added a new
line after binary search code.
Sat Oct 3 10:11:15 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.cpp (parse_args): Changed the option for binary
search to '-B'
Fri Oct 2 21:38:54 1998 Vishal Kachroo <vishal@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.cpp (parse_args): Added the -b option for the binary
search.
* src/Options.h (enum Option_Type): Added the BINARYSEARCH in the
enumeration.
* src/Key_List.cpp : Added the function
output_binary_search_function (void). Changed the output
function to include the Binary Search option. Used
option[BINARYSEARCH] to distinguish the binary search case from
the hashing case.
* src/Key_List.h : Added the prototype for
output_binary_search_function. Also added the key_sort variable
to enable sorting based on key values.
Thu Oct 1 12:40:59 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.cpp (parse_args): Comments for Vishal to incorporate
Binary Seach on to GPERF.
Wed Sep 30 16:55:53 1998 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/Makefile: Updated dependencies, added a realclean target
to remove the output from the tests.
Wed Sep 30 12:41:29 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (dump): Fixed another signed/unsigned int
mismatch. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.
Mon Sep 28 13:18:05 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests: Updated all the test-*.exp files to reflect the latest
"unsigned" changes.
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_hash_function): Fixed another use of
int to be unsigned int.
* tests/test.cpp: Fixed the signature of in_word_set() to be
consistent with the new gperf. Thanks to David Levine and
Carlos O'Ryan for this fix.
Sun Sep 27 00:04:18 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (dump): Reverted back to using int for
keyword_width to keep certain compilers happy. Thanks to David
Levine for reporting this.
* src/Key_List: MAke sure that we don't generate the lookup table
twice if we're forced to change to the switch format.
* src/Key_List: Replaced the use of "int" with "unsigned int" for
parameters and hash values.
* src/Key_List: Fixed the code so that if we change over to using
the switch statement then we use the already generated keyword
table appropriately. This prevents unnecessary warnings from
some C++ compilers. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.
* src/Key_List.cpp (output): If it's not possible to use the
lookup_array implementation of -D (e.g., because there aren't
enough empty slots in the lookup_array), then default to using
-S1 option... This fixes a nasty bug that's been in gperf for
years....
* src/Key_List.cpp: (output_lookup_array): Added a "return 0" to
make the C++ compiler happy. Thanks to David for noticing this.
* tests/c++-res.exp: Added a new test for C++ keywords.
* tests/corba.gperf: Added a proper test for CORBA keywords.
Sat Sep 26 15:32:56 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Hash_Table.cpp (find): Fixed a bug in the increment
computation that arose if the -n option was given.
* src: Removed all set_ and get_ prefixes to be more consistent
with ACE programming guidelines.
* src: GPERF now Purifies cleanly.
* src/Gen_Perf: Cleaned up the code so that if errors occur they
get handled properly.
* src/List_Node: Added a destructor to remove the memory when
we're done.
* src: Continued to tidy up the source code so that it is better
designed and Purifies cleanly on shutdown.
* src/Makefile: Removed the need for libGperf.{a,so}.
* src/Key_List: Changed read_keys() to return a value so that we
can check for errors.
Fri Sep 25 08:54:41 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (Key_List ctor): reordered initializers to
match declaration order.
Thu Sep 24 18:20:36 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List: Changed char_set field to keysig to be consistent
with the paper.
* src/Hash_Table: Renamed operator() to find(). What the heck was
I thinking in '92?!
* src/gperf.cpp (main): Removed the LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS option.
This was annoying...
Tue Sep 22 21:30:59 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/corba.exp: added this file, it hadn't been checked in.
Tue Sep 22 18:02:01 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/Makefile: Added a new test for CORBA keywords.
* tests: Added a new test for the type of input that is causing
problems with TAO's IDL compiler.
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_lookup_array): Changed the assertion
from assert (i != 0) to assert (i >= 0) since I think that's
correct... (ah, so THAT's why comments are important thinks the
'92 Doug... ;-)).
* src/Options: Improved the comments for the '-h' option to
reflect current reality...
Thu Sep 17 11:42:53 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (output_lookup_array): Put 'signed' keyword
before 'char lookup' to avoid problems on platforms where char
is defined as unsigned. Thanks to Margherita Vittone Wiersma
<vittone@fndaub.fnal.gov> for reporting this.
Wed Sep 16 19:08:13 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* Makefile: don't run build/run tests on CROSS-COMPILE platforms.
Thanks to Raja Ati <rati@montereynets.com> for reporting this
problem.
Wed Sep 16 18:18:41 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/Makefile: Changed CFLAGS to CCFLAGS to make aCC happy on
HP/UX. Thanks to John Mulhern for reporting this.
Tue Sep 15 18:14:08 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/test-6.exp (Usage): Fixed the usage so diff should no
longer complain... Thanks to David for reporting this.
Tue Sep 15 21:54:07 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/Makefile: filter timestamps from test output so that
diffs will pass.
Tue Sep 15 18:14:08 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests: Updated the expected output to look for 2.7 vs 2.6
of gperf.
Thu Sep 10 16:50:21 1998 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/Makefile:
The test programs were not linking against ACE.
Tue Sep 8 12:45:53 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* tests/test.cpp: Added #include "ace/OS.h" so that the ACE_RCSID
macro is defined. Thanks to Arturo Montes
<mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
Sat Aug 22 08:44:15 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.cpp : Fixed the typo (-V instead of -v) under 'case
h' print string.
Fri Aug 21 11:57:57 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Key_List.cpp (set_output_types): Make sure that we leave an
extra space between the struct tag and the wordlist so the
compiler doesn't complain. Thanks to Andy Gokhale for reporting
this.
* src/gperf.cpp: Modified the main() program so that it doesn't
print the starting time until AFTER we've parsed the arguments.
* src/Version.cpp: Updated the version to 2.7 to reflect the
new changes.
* src/Options.cpp (operator): Added a new -V option, which just
exits with a value of 0. This is useful for checking if gperf
exists in the search path. We use the feature in TAO.
* src: Removed the globally overloaded new operator. This was a
portability pain and didn't really improve performance very
much.
* src/Options.cpp (operator): Fixed '%e' to be '%r' to come up to
speed with ACE changes.
Sat Aug 15 07:59:58 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/gperf.cpp (main): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGS for argc and
argv if ! ACE_HAS_GPERF.
Fri Aug 14 13:47:00 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/new.cpp (delete): aded ACE_UNUSED_ARG (ptr).
Fri Jul 31 18:28:45 1998 Gonzalo Diethelm <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Bool_Array.cpp:
* src/Gen_Perf.cpp:
* src/Hash_Table.cpp:
* src/Iterator.cpp:
* src/Key_List.cpp:
* src/List_Node.cpp:
* src/Options.cpp:
* src/Vectors.cpp:
* src/Version.cpp:
* src/gperf.cpp:
* src/new.cpp:
* tests/test.cpp:
Added ACE_RCSID to these files.
Tue Jul 21 09:30:51 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/gperf.cpp (main): added a trivial main () if ! ACE_HAS_GPERF,
so that the link succeeds.
Mon Jul 20 16:02:18 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Makefile: fixed INSTALL. It works with the latest
$ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU.
Mon Jul 20 15:35:59 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* Wrapped all the files with "#if defined (ACE_HAS_GPERF)" so that
it compiles on appropriate platforms.
Sun Jul 19 22:21:17 1998 David L. Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/new.cpp (new): wrapped assignment with parens where used
as a conditional.
* src/Iterator.cpp (Iterator), List_Node.cpp (List_Node),
Hash_Table.cpp (Hash_Table):
reordered initializers to match declaration order.
* src/Hash_Table.cpp (~Hash_Table),
* src/Bool_Array.cpp (init): cast sizeof
to int to avoid compiler (g++/Linux alpha) warning about
mismatch with %d format specifier.
* src/new.cpp (new): use ACE_THROW_SPEC instead of
_RWSTD_THROW_SPEC.
Sun Jul 19 13:11:59 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
* src/new.cpp: Added support for the _RWSTD_THROW_SPEC macro for
DEC UNIX. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.
* src/Key_List.cpp: Fixed one of those nasty "for loop counter
scoping glitches. Again, thanks to David Levine and DEC C++ for
catching this. * src/Key_List.cpp (reorder): Clarified the code
so that we don't write horrible C-style hacks. Thanks to David
Levine and the DEC C++ compiler for finding this one!
Tue Jun 30 15:43:16 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
* src/Options.h :
* src/Options.cpp :
* src/Key_List.cpp : Added the following options to gperf.
- "-m" To mute warnings. (If -D option is enabled,
gperf doesnt say anything about duplicate hash
values etc.
- "-M" To skip class definition while in C++ mode.
- "-J" To skip the line "#include <string.h>" in the
output.
Thu May 14 16:37:39 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
* src: ACE'ifed most of the gperf source code, yow!
Sun Apr 14 14:31:10 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
* src: Changed things so that there's no longer any use of the
Read_Line and Std_Err code. All of this has been pushed into
the ACE components, which is where it belongs...
* src: Changed things so that there's no longer any use of the
pointless inheritance in the code. This was a result of my not
understanding inheritance back in 1989... ;-)
* Began to integrate GNU gperf into the ACE release. Started off
by bringing the standard GNU version up to date wrt to the
changes I made back in 1991!
Tue Oct 10 16:37:28 1995 Mike Stump <mrs@cygnus.com>
* src/new.cc: Since malloc/delete are not paired, we cannot call
free.
Wed Jan 4 12:40:14 1995 Per Bothner <bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com>
* src/Makefile.in ($(TARGETPROG)): Link with $(LDFLAGS).
Patch from John Interrante <interran@uluru.stanford.edu>.
Sat Nov 5 19:12:48 1994 Jason Merrill (jason@phydeaux.cygnus.com)
* src/Makefile.in (LIBS): Remove.
Tue Oct 18 17:51:14 1994 Per Bothner <bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com>
* src/std-err.cc: Use stderror, instead of the non-standard
sys_nerr and sys_errlist.
Sat Sep 17 22:02:13 1994 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* src/key-list.cc (output_hash_function):
Patch from William Bader <wbader@CSEE.Lehigh.Edu>.
Fri Jul 15 09:38:11 1994 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* src/std-err.cc: #include <errno.h>, and only declare
extern int errno if errno is not a macro.
Mon May 30 17:29:34 1994 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in (src_all, install): Make sure to add '/' after
`pwd` in $rootme, as expected by FLAGS_TO_PASS.
Wed May 11 00:47:22 1994 Jason Merrill (jason@deneb.cygnus.com)
Make libg++ build with gcc -ansi -pedantic-errors
* src/options.h: Lose commas at end of enumerator lists.
Sun Dec 5 19:16:40 1993 Brendan Kehoe (brendan@lisa.cygnus.com)
* src/hash-table.cc (Hash_Table::~Hash_Table): Don't pass an
argument to fprintf, since it's not expecting one.
Fri Nov 26 19:03:18 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* src/list-node.cc: #undef index, for the sake of broken NeXT,
Thu Nov 4 11:16:03 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in (install): Use INSTALL_DATA for gperf.1.
Mon Oct 25 18:40:51 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* src/key-list.cc (Key_List::read_keys): Use POW macro
to increase hash table size to power of 2.
* options.h (LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS): New flag. Defaults to zero.
* gen-perf.cc, key-list.cc, read-line.cc:
Only stack-allocate large arrays if LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS is set.
* main.cc (main): Only call setrlimit (RLIMIT_STACK, ...)
if LARGE_STACK_ARRAYS.
Mon Oct 4 17:45:08 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* src/gen-perf.cc: Always use ANSI rand/srand instead of BSDisms.
Wed Aug 18 12:19:53 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@kalessin.cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in (src_all): Make less verbose output.
Fri May 28 14:01:18 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
* src/gen-perf.cc (Gen_Perf::change): Don't use gcc-specific
2-operand conditional expression.
* src/key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_array):
Don't use variable-size stack arrays, unless compiled by g++.
Tue May 4 14:08:44 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
Changes (mostly from Peter Schauer) to permit compilation
using cfront 3.0 and otherwise be ARM-conforming.
* src/key-list.h: class Key_List must use public derivation
of base class Std_Err (because Gen_Perf::operator() in gen-perf.cc
calls Std_Err::report_error).
* src/gen-perf.cc (Gen_Perf::affects_prev), src/hash-table.cc
(Hash_Table::operator()): Don't use gcc-specific 2-operand
conditional expression.
* src/iterator.cc (Iterator::operator()): Don't use gcc-specific
range construct in case label.
* key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_array, Key_List::read_keys),
src/gen-perf.cc (Gen_Perf::operator(), src/read-line.cc
(Read_Line::readln_aux): If not gcc, don't allocate
variable-sized arrays on stack.
* src/new.cc (operator new): Argument type should be size_t.
* key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_array, Key_List::read_keys),
new/cc (::operator new): Don't use non-standard >?= operator.
Tue Apr 27 20:11:30 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* src/Makefile.in: Define TARGETPROG, and use it.
Mon Apr 19 00:29:18 1993 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Re-vamped configure scheme.
* gperf.texinfo: Renamed to gperf.texi.
* src/bool-array.{h,cc}: ANSIfy bzero->memset.
Sat Jan 30 20:21:28 1993 Brendan Kehoe (brendan@lisa.cygnus.com)
* tests/Makefile.in (mostlyclean): Also delete aout, cout, m3out,
pout, and preout.
Tue Dec 29 08:58:17 1992 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in: pass $(FLAGS_TO_PASS) to all calls to make.
(FLAGS_TO_PASS): added INSTALL, INSTALL_DATA, INSTALL_PROGRAM.
Mon Dec 21 18:46:46 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
* tests/expected.* renamed to *.exp to fit in 14 chars.
* tests/Makefile.in: Update accordingly.
Also rename output.* to *.out.
* src/Makefile.in (clean): Remove gperf program.
Wed Dec 9 14:33:34 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* src/hash-table.cc, src/bool-array.h: ANSIfy bzero->memset.
Thu Dec 3 19:34:12 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in (distclean, realclean): Don't delete
Makefile before recursing.
Fri Nov 6 13:41:49 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
* key-list.{h,cc}: Remove MAX_INT (and similar) constant
fields from Key_List class, and use INT_MAX (etc) from limits.h.
* key-list.{h,cc}, options.{h,cc}, vectors.h: Removed all
uses of initialized const fields, as they are non-standard
- and their use was easy to do away with. Mostly, just
made the constants static non-fields in the .cc file.
Mon Nov 2 13:10:11 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* tests/Makefile.in: When generating cinset.c, don't pass -C,
since -C assumes an ANSI compiler. Add the -C flag (with -a)
when generating test.out.3 instead.
* tests/expected.out.3: Update accordingly.
Wed Aug 12 11:47:54 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in: Factor out common flags into $(FLAGS_TO_PASS).
* Makefile.in: 'install-info' depends on gperf.info.
Mon Aug 10 11:39:52 1992 Ian Lance Taylor (ian@dumbest.cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: always create installation
directories.
Mon Jul 20 15:33:21 1992 Mike Stump (mrs@cygnus.com)
* src/new.cc (operator new): Add cast from void * to char *,
since it is not a standard conversion.
Wed Jun 17 16:25:30 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
* src/gen-perf.cc: #include <_G_config.h> for _G_SYSV.
* src/key-list.cc: alloca() hair.
* src/main.cc (main): Only call getrlimit if _G_HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE.
* Makefile,in, {src,test}/Makefile.in: Fix *clean rules.
Fri May 29 13:21:13 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
* src/gen-perf.cc: Replace USG -> _G_SYSV.
Thu May 14 13:58:36 1992 Per Bothner (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
* src/Makefile.in: Don't pass obsolete flag -DUNLIMIT_STACK.
* tests/Makefile.in (clean): Fix.
Sat Mar 7 00:03:56 1992 K. Richard Pixley (rich@rtl.cygnus.com)
* gperf.texinfo: added menu item hook.
Wed Feb 26 18:04:40 1992 K. Richard Pixley (rich@cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in, configure.in: removed traces of namesubdir,
-subdirs, $(subdir), $(unsubdir), some rcs triggers. Forced
copyrights to '92, changed some from Cygnus to FSF.
Sun Jan 26 19:21:58 1992 Per Bothner (bothner at cygnus.com)
* tests/Makefile.in: Use re-directed stdin instead of file
name in argv. This allows us to remove the filename
from the output, the expected output, and hence the diffs.
(Note that the input file is in $(srcdir), which we cannot
place in the expected out files.)
* tests/expected.out.[1235]: Edit out input filename,
to match new output.
Mon Nov 4 15:04:41 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at bastille.ics.uci.edu)
* Need to do something about the end-of-line marker being
hard-coded to '\n'...
* Need to do something about the comment character being
hard-coded to '#'...
Fri Sep 27 09:30:15 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a stupid problem with printout out a local enum with the
-E option (I forgot to check for the case of 0 duplicates, so it
was saying 1 duplicate instead!).
Mon Aug 19 00:39:40 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at javel.ics.uci.edu)
* Yow, all finished making gperf run with cfront/Saber C++. Not
really all that hard, actually, though did need to remove some
GNU specific hacks, like dynamically sized arrays and
initializing class data members in their declarations, etc.
* Bumped up the version # to reflect the recent changes.
Sun Aug 18 22:25:32 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at javel.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed passage of Options::usage function in Options.C to have
a leading `&' so that Saber C++ wouldn't complain...
* Added a new header file called gperf.h that includes system-wide
info.
* Hacked up the release to work with Saber C++! Changed all *.cc
files to *.C.
Mon Aug 5 21:18:47 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at net1.ics.uci.edu)
* Yow, hacked in the nifty changes to the Std_Err error handling
abstraction. This now adds format string support for printing
out signals and the name of the function when things go wrong.
Make changes throughout the source to make use of the new
facilities and also to make sure all previous uses of
Std_Err::report_error are now prefixed by the name of the class.
Tue Jul 30 00:02:39 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
* Make sure to add 1 to the Key_List::total_duplicates value when
printing it out since any time we have more than zero duplicates
we really have two or more duplicates!
* Added support for the -O (optimize option). This option
optimizes the generated lookup function by assuming that all
input keywords are members of the keyset from the keyfile.
* Added #define DUPLICATES and #define HASH_VALUE_RANGE (and of
course the enum equivalent) to the generated output. Don't know
how useful this will be, but it allows us to determine at a
glance whether we've got a minimal perfect hash function (in
which case TOTAL_KEYWORDS = HASH_VALUE_RANGE, and DUPLICATES =
0).
* Fixed a small bug in the Key_List::output_keyword_table routine
that caused an extra newline to be printed if there where no
leading blank entries... (who cares, right?!)
Mon Jul 29 22:05:40 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified the handling of the -E (emit enums rather than
#defines) option in conjunction with the -G option. Now, if -G
and -E are given the enums are generated outside the lookup
function, rather than within it!
* Yow, as part of my Software Practice and Experience submission
writeup I realized I needed to make the # comment character work
correctly. Now if you put a backslash character ('\') in front
of the # it treats the first character as a #. Naturally, to
put a '\' character on the front of the line you need to escape
it also, i.e.,
\\I'm a line that starts with only one \
# I'm a comment line
\#define I'm walking a fine line... ;-)
Wed Jun 26 11:21:02 1991 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at bastille.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed all uses of the identifier `iteration_number' to
`generation_number' (also updated the paper!).
Tue Apr 9 07:59:42 1991 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
* Had to change a whole bunch of little thangs in key-list.cc and
list-node.cc to make the -I option work.
* Changed an alloca statement in key-list.cc to reflect the
strncasecmp modification (i.e., we now need to be able to
allocate a longer buffer if the -I option is used).
Mon Apr 8 18:17:04 1991 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
* Yucko, there was a bug in the handling of -c (and of course the
new -I command in key-list.cc). Apparently when I added the
super-duper hack that provided support for duplicate keys I
forgot to update the strcmp output...
* Boy, it has been a *long* time since I hacked this puppy. Let's
see, I'm about to add long-overdue support for case-insensitive
string comparisons to gperf's generated output code. We are
going to employ the hitherto unused option -I to indicte this!
Thu Jun 28 16:17:27 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at brilliant)
* Wow, first fix on the new job! There was a dumb error
in Key_List::output_lookup_function, where I printed the
string "&wordlist[key]" instead of the correct "&wordlist[index]".
* Added a couple of #ifdefs for USG support.
Sun Jun 3 17:16:36 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Updated the version number to 2.5 and sent to Doug Lea for release
with the latest GNU libg++.
* Changed the error handling when a keyword file cannot be opened
(now calls perror).
Wed May 30 14:49:40 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Instrumented the source code with trace statements automagically
inserted using my new automated trace instrumentation tool!
Wed May 9 11:47:41 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Really fixed the previous bug. Turns out that a small amount
of logic had to be duplicated to handle static links that occur
as part of dynamic link chains. What a pain!!!
Tue May 8 23:11:44 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_array that was
causing incorrect counts to be generated when there were both
static and dynamic links occurring for the same hash value.
Also simplified the code that performs the logic in this routine.
Mon Apr 30 17:37:24 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_array that was
making the generated lookup[] array contain `chars' even
when the values stored in the chars are greater than 127!
* Changed the behavior of the -G (global table) option so that it
will output the `length[]' array in the global scope along with
the `word_list[]' array.
* Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_function that
would always output the complicated `duplicate-handling' lookup
logic, even when there were no duplicates in the input!
* Yikes, had to modify a bunch of stuff in key-list.cc to correctly
handle duplicate entries. Changed the generated code so that
the MIN_HASH_VALUE is no longer subtracted off when calculating
the hash value for a keyword. This required changing some other
code by substituting MAX_HASH_VALUE for TOTAL_KEYS in several places.
Finally, this means that the generated tables may contain leading
null entries, but I suppose it is better to trade-off space to get
faster performance...
Mon Mar 26 13:08:43 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Updated version number to 2.4 to reflect the latest changes.
* Changed the main program so that it always prints out gperf's
execution timings to the generated output file.
Sun Mar 25 12:39:30 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the -Z option so that users can specify the name of the
generated class explicitly. Updated documentation to reflect
this change.
* Modified the generated C++ class interface so that the functions
are declared static (to remove the overhead of passing the `this'
pointer). This means that operator()() can no longer be used,
since it only works on non-static member functions.
Also changed things so that there is no constructor (why waste
the extra call, when it doesn't do anything, eh?)
* Modified the behavior of Key_List::output when the -L C++ option
is enabled. Previously the code generated use const data members
to record MIN_WORD_LENGTH, MIN_HASH_VALUE, etc. However, as
pointed out by James Clark this may result in suboptimal behavior
on the part of C++ compilers that can't inline these values.
Therefore, the new behavior is identical to what happens with
-L C, i.e., either #defines or function-specific enums are used.
Why sacrifice speed for some abstract notion of `code purity?' ;-)
Tue Mar 6 18:17:42 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the -E option that defines constant values using an enum
local to the lookup function rather than with #defines. This
also means that different lookup functions can reside in the
same file. Thanks to James Clark (jjc@ai.mit.edu).
Sat Mar 3 20:19:00 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Added a special case to key_list::output_switch that doesn't
generate extra comparisons when the `-S' is given an argument
of 1 (the normal case). This should speed up the generated
code output a tad...
Fri Feb 23 14:21:28 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Renamed all instances of member function get_keysig_size
to get_max_keysig_size, since this is more precise...
* Changed all occurrences of charset to keysig (stands for ``key
signature'') to reflect the new naming convention used in the
USENIX paper.
Thu Feb 22 11:28:36 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed the name of the generated associated values table from
asso_value to asso_values to reflect conventions in the USENIX
C++ paper.
Thu Feb 15 23:29:03 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Updated the gperf.texinfo file to fix some formatting problems
that had crept in since last time.
Wed Feb 14 23:27:24 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed stupid bug in key-list.cc (get_special_input), wher
gperf replaced each '%' with the succeeding character.
* Added support for multiple target language generation. Currently
handled languages are C and C++, with C as the default. Updated
documentation and option handler to reflect the changes.
* Added a global destructor to new.cc and removed the #ifdef, since
the bloody thing now works with libg++.
Mon Feb 14 13:00:00 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Found out that my gperf paper was accepted at the upcoming
USENIX C++ Conference in San Francisco. Yow!
Tue Jan 30 09:00:29 1990 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* #ifdef'd out the new.cc memory allocator, since there are
problems with this and the libg++ stuff.
* Changed key-list.h so that class Vectors is a public (rather
than private) base class for class Key_List. The previous
form was illegal C++, but wasn't being caught by the old
g++ compiler. Should work now... ;-)
Sun Dec 10 14:08:23 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added several changes from rfg@ics.uci.edu. These changes
help to automate the build process.
Wed Nov 15 15:49:33 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Removed conditional compilation for GATHER_STATISTICS. There's
really no good reason to avoid collecting this info at run-time,
since that section of code is *hardly* the bottleneck... ;-)
* Simplified the C output routines in Key_List::set_output_types
and Key_List::output_keyword_table a bit in order to
speed-up and clean up the code generation.
* Modified function Key_List::get_special_input so that it does
not try to `delete' a buffer that turned out to be too short.
This is important since the new memory management scheme
does not handle deletions. However, adding a small amount of
garbage won't hurt anything, since we generally don't do this
operation more than a couple times *at most*!
* Created a new file (new.cc) which includes my own overloaded
operator new. This function should dramatically reduce the
number of calls to malloc since it grabs large chunks and
doles them out in small pieces. As a result of this change
the class-specific `operator new' was removed from class List_Node.
Tue Nov 14 21:45:30 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Continued to refine the great hack. The latest trick is to
try and replace most uses of dynamic memory (i.e., calls to
new) with uses of gcc dynamic arrays (i.e., an alloca solution).
This makes life much easier for the overall process-size, since
it reduces the amount of overhead for memory management. As a
side-effect from this change there is no reason to have the
Bool_Array::dispose member function, so it's outta here!
* Fixed a stupid bug that was an disaster waiting to happen...
Instead of making the boolean array large enough to index
max_hash_value it was only large enough to index max_hash_value
- 1. Once again, an off-by-one mistake in C/C++!!!!
Mon Nov 13 19:38:27 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the final great hack! This allows us to generate hash tables
for near-perfect hash functions that contain duplicates, *without*
having to use switch statements! Since many compilers die on large
switch statements this feature is essential. Furthermore, it appears
that the generated code is often *smaller* than that put out by
compilers, even though a large, sparse array must be created.
Here's the general idea:
a. Generate the wordlist as a contiguous block of keywords,
just as before when using a switch statement. This
wordlist *must* be sorted by hash value.
b. Generate the lookup array, which is an array of signed
{chars,shorts,ints}, (which ever allows full coverage of
the wordlist dimensions). If the value v, where v =
lookup[hash(str,len)], is >= 0 and < TOTAL_KEYWORDS, then we
simply use this result as a direct access into the wordlist
array to snag the keyword for comparison.
c. Otherwise, if v is < -TOTAL_KEYWORDS or > TOTAL_KEYWORDS
this is an indication that we'll need to search through
some number of duplicates hash values. Using a hash
linking scheme we'd then index into a different part of
the hash table that provides the starting index and total
length of the duplicate entries to find via linear search!
Sun Nov 12 13:48:10 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Simplified Key_List::output_min_max considerably by recognizing
that since the keyword list was already sorted by hash value finding
the min and max values is trivial!
* Improved the debugging diagnostics considerably in classes Key_List,
Hash_Table, and Gen_Perf.
* Modified the `-s' option so that a negative argument is now
interpreted to mean `allow the maximum associated value to be
about x times *smaller* than the number of input keys.' This
should help prevent massive explosion of generated hash table
size for large keysets.
Sat Nov 11 11:31:13 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added a field in class Key_List that counts the total number
of duplicate keywords, both static and dynamic.
* Added a new member function Bool_Array that deletes the dynamic
memory allocated to Bool_Array::storage_array. This space may
be needed for subsequent options, so it made sense to free it as
soon as possible...
* Renamed file/class Alpha_Vectors to Vectors, to avoid problems
with 14 character length filenames on SYSV. Also changed file
adapredefined.gperf to adadefs.gperf in the ./tests directory.
* Modified class Options by changing the member function
Options::total_positions to Options::get_charset_size and
Options::set_charset_size. These two routines now either return
the total charset size *or* the length of the largest keyword
if the user specifies the -k'*' (ALLCHARS) option. This change
cleans up client code.
* Merged all the cperf changes into gperf.
* Made sure to explicitly initialize perfect.fewest_collisions to
0.
* Cleaned up some loose ends noticed by Nels Olson.
1. Removed `if (collisions <= perfect.fewest_collisions)'
from Gen_Perf::affects_prev since it was superfluous.
2. Removed the fields best_char_value and best_asso_value
from Gen_Perf. There were also unnecessary.
3. Fixed a braino in the Bool_Array::bool_array_reset
function. Since iteration numbers can never be zero
the `if (bool_array.iteration_number++ == 0)' must be
`if (++bool_array.iteration_number == 0).'
4. Modified Std_Err::report_error so that it correctly handles
"%%".
* It is important to note that -D no longer enables -S.
There is a good reason for this change, which will become
manifested in the next release... (suspense!).
* Made some subtle changes to Key_List::print_switch so that if finally
seems to work correctly. Needs more stress testing, however...
* Made a major change to the Key_List::print_switch function.
The user can now specify the number of switch statements to generate
via an argument to the -S option, i.e., -S1 means `generate 1
switch statement with all keywords in it,' -S2 means generate
2 switch statements with 1/2 the elements in each one, etc.
Hopefully this will fix the problem with C compilers not being
able to generate code for giant switch statements (but don't
hold your breath!)
* Changed Key_List::length function to Key_List::keyword_list_length.
* Added a feature to main.c that prints out the starting wall-clock
time before the program begins and prints out the ending wall-clock
time when the program is finished.
* Added the GATHER_STATISTICS code in hash-table.c so we can
keep track of how well double hashing is doing. Eventually,
GATHER_STATISTICS will be added so that all instrumentation
code can be conditionally compiled in.
* Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::print_switch routine. This
was necessary to make sure the generated switch statement worked
correctly when *both* `natural,' i.e., static links and dynamic
links, i.e., unresolved duplicates, hash to the same value.
* Modified Bool_Array::~Bool_Array destructor so that
it now frees the bool_array.storage_array when it is no longer
needed. Since this array is generally very large it makes sense
to return the memory to the freelist when it is no longer in use.
* Changed the interface to constructor Hash_Table::Hash_Table. This
constructor now passed a pointer to a power-of-two sized buffer that
serve as storage for the hash table. Although this weakens information
hiding a little bit it greatly reduces dynamic memory fragmentation,
since we can now obtain the memory via a call to alloca, rather
than malloc. This change modified Key_List::read_keys calling
interface.
* Since alloca is now being used more aggressively a conditional
compilation section was added in main.c. Taken from GNU GCC,
this code gets rid of any avoidable limit on stack size so that
alloca does not fail. It is only used if the -DRLIMIT_STACK
symbol is defined when gperf is compiled.
* Added warnings in option.c so that user's would be informed
that -r superceeds -i on the command-line.
* Rewrote Gen_Perf::affects_prev. First, the code structure
was cleaned up considerably (removing the need for a dreaded
goto!). Secondly, a major change occurred so that Gen_Perf::affects_prev
returns FALSE (success) when fewest_hits gets down to whatever
it was after inserting the previous key (instead of waiting for
it to reach 0). In other words, it stops trying if it can
resolve the new collisions added by a key, even if there are
still other old, unresolved collisions. This modification was
suggested by Nels Olson and seems to *greatly* increase the
speed of gperf for large keyfiles. Thanks Nels!
* In a similar vein, inside the Gen_Perf::change routine
the variable `perfect.fewest_collisions is no longer initialized
with the length of the keyword list. Instead it starts out at
0 and is incremented by 1 every time change () is called.
The rationale for this behavior is that there are times when a
collision causes the number of duplicates (collisions) to
increase by a large amount when it would presumably just have
gone up by 1 if none of the asso_values were changed. That is,
at the beginning of change(), you could initialize fewest_hits
to 1+(previous value of fewest_hits) instead of to the number of
keys. Thanks again, Nels.
* Replaced alloca with new in the Gen_Perf::change function.
This should eliminate some overhead at the expense of a little
extra memory that is never reclaimed.
* Renamed Gen_Perf::merge_sets to Gen_Perf::compute_disjoint_union
to reflect the change in behavior.
* Added the -e option so users can supply a string containing
the characters used to separate keywords from their attributes.
The default behavior is ",\n".
* Removed the char *uniq_set field from LIST_NODE and modified
uses of uniq_set in perfect.c and keylist.c. Due to changes
to Gen_Perf::compute_disjoint_sets this field was no longer
necessary, and its removal makes the program smaller and
potentially faster.
* Added lots of changes/fixes suggested by Nels Olson
(umls.UUCP!olson@mis.ucsf.edu). In particular:
1. Changed Bool_Array so that it would dynamically create
an array of unsigned shorts rather than ints if the
LO_CAL symbol was defined during program compilation.
This cuts the amount of dynamic memory usage in half,
which is important for large keyfile input.
2. Added some additional debugging statements that print extra
info to stderr when the -d option is enabled.
3. Fixed a really stupid bug in Key_List::print_switch
A right paren was placed at the wrong location, which broke
strlen ().
4. Fixed a subtle problem with printing case values when keylinks
appear. The logic failed to account for the fact that there
can be keylinks *and* regular node info also!
5. Changed the behavior of Key_List::read_keys so that it would
honor -D unequivocally, i.e., it doesn't try to turn off dup
handling if the user requests it, even if there are no
immediate links in the keyfile input.
6. Modified the -j option so that -j 0 means `try random values
when searching for a way to resolve collisions.'
7. Added a field `num_done' to the Gen_Perf struct. This is used
to report information collected when trying to resolve
hash collisions.
8. Modified the merge_sets algorithm to perform a disjoint
union of two multisets. This ensures that subsequent
processing in Gen_Perf::affect_prev doesn't
waste time trying to change an associated value that is
shared between two conflicting keywords.
9. Modified Gen_Perf::affects_prev so that it doesn't try
random jump values unless the -j 0 option is enabled.
10. Fixed a silly bug in Gen_Perf::change. This problem caused
gperf to seg fault when the -k* option was given and the
keyfile file had long keywords.
Sun Oct 29 00:18:55 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified class-specific new operations for Read_Line and
List_Node so they don't fail if SIZE is larger than twice
the previous buffer size. Note we double buffer size
everytime the previous buffer runs out, as a heuristic
to reduce future calls to malloc.
Sun Oct 22 13:49:43 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Updated gperf version number to 2.0. Send to Doug Lea for
incorporation into the long-awaited `official' libg++ 1.36
release!
* Thanks to Nels Olson a silly bug in Gen_Perf::change ()
was fixed. This problem caused gperf to seg fault when
the -k* option was given and the keyfile file had long
keywords.
* Modified Key_List::print_hash_function so that it output
max_hash_value + 1 (rather than just max_hash_value) for
any associated value entries that don't correspond to
keyword charset characters. This should speed up rejection
of non-keyword strings a little in some cases.
Sat Oct 21 19:28:36 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed Key_List::print_hash_function so that it no longer output
things like `return 0 + ...' Although this probably gets
optimized away by even the worst C compilers there isn't any
point tempting fate... ;-)
* Fixed class List_Node's constructor so that it wouldn't a priori
refuse to consider trying to hash keys whose length is less
than the smallest user-specified key position. It turns out
this is not a problem unless the user also specifies the -n
(NOLENGTH) option, in which case such keys most likely
don't have a prayer of being hashed correctly!
* Changed the name of the generated lookup table from `Hash_Table'
to `asso_value' to be consistent with the gperf paper.
Tue Oct 17 14:19:48 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added a flag GATHER_STATISTICS in the Makefile. If defined
during compilation this turns on certain collection facilities
that track the performance of gperf during its execution. In
particular, I want to see how many collisions occur for the
double hashing Hash_Table.
* Added a safety check so that we don't screw up if the total
number of `resets' of the Bool_Array exceeds MAX_INT. Since
this number is around 2^31 it is unlikely that this would ever
occur for most input, but why take the risk?
* Changed the behavior for the -a (ANSI) option so that the
generated prototypes use int rather than size_t for the LEN
parameter. It was too ugly having to #include <stddef.h> all
over the place...
Mon Oct 16 11:00:35 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Continued to work on the gperf paper for the USENIX C++
conference. At some point this will be merged back into
the gperf documentation...
Sat Oct 14 20:29:43 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Added a majorly neat hack to Bool_Array, suggested by rfg.
The basic idea was to throw away the Ullman array technique.
The Ullman array was used to remove the need to reinitialize all
the Bool_Array elements to zero everytime we needed to determine
whether there were duplicate hash values in the keyword list.
The current trick uses an `iteration number' scheme, which takes
about 1/3 the space and reduces the overall program running a
time by about 20 percent for large input! The hack works as
follows:
1. Dynamically allocation 1 boolean array of size k.
2. Initialize the boolean array to zeros, and consider the first
iteration to be iteration 1.
2. Then on all subsequent iterations we `reset' the bool array by
kicking the iteration count by 1.
3. When it comes time to check whether a hash value is currently
in the boolean array we simply check its index location. If
the value stored there is *not* equal to the current iteration
number then the item is clearly *not* in the set. In that
case we assign the iteration number to that array's index
location for future reference. Otherwise, if the item at
the index location *is* equal to the iteration number we've
found a duplicate. No muss, no fuss!
Mon Oct 2 12:30:54 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed some consts in options.h to enumerals, since g++
doesn't seem to like them at the moment!
Sat Sep 30 12:55:24 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::print_hash_function that manifested
itself if the `-k$' option was given (i.e., only use the key[length]
character in the hash function).
* Added support for the -C option. This makes the contents of
all generated tables `readonly'.
* Changed the handling of generated switches so that there is
only one call to str[n]?cmp. This *greatly* reduces the size of
the generated assembly code on all compilers I've seen.
* Fixed a subtle bug that occurred when the -l and -S option
was given. Code produced looked something like:
if (len != key_len || !strcmp (s1, resword->name)) return resword;
which doesn't make any sense. Clearly, this should be:
if (len == key_len && !strcmp (s1, resword->name)) return resword;
Tue Sep 26 10:36:50 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed class Read_Line's definition so that it no longer
needs to know about the buffering scheme used to speed up
dynamic memory allocation of input keywords and their
associated attributes. This means that operator new is no longer
a friend of Read_Line.
Mon Sep 25 23:17:10 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Decided that Obstacks had too much overhead, so they were
removed in favor of super-efficient, low-overhead buffered
storage allocation hacks in Read_Line and List_Node.
* No longer try to inline functions that g++ complains about
(Key_List::Merge and Key_List::Merge_Sort).
Sun Sep 24 13:11:24 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed classes Read_Line and List_Node to use Obstacks in order
to cache memory allocation for keyword strings and List_Nodes.
* Continued to experiment with inheritance schemes.
* Added a new file `alpha.h', that declares static data shared
(i.e., inherited) between classes List_Node and Key_List.
Tue Sep 12 16:14:41 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Made numerous changes to incorporate multiple inheritance in
gperf.
Wed Aug 16 23:04:08 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the -DCOMPILER_FIXED flag to the ./src/Makefile. This
implies that people trying to compile gperf need to have a
working version of the new g++ compiler (1.36.0).
* Removed some extra spaces that were being added in the generated
C code.
Mon Jul 24 17:09:46 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed PRINT_HASH_FUNCTION and PRINT_LOOKUP_FUNCTION in keylist.c
so that the generated functions take an unsigned int length argument.
If -a is enabled the prototype is (const char *str, size_t len).
Fri Jul 21 13:06:15 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a typo in PRINT_KEYWORD_TABLE in keylist.cc that prevented
the indentation from working correctly.
* Fixed a horrible typo in PRINT_KEYWORD_TABLE in keylist.cc
that prevented links from being printed correctly.
Tue Jul 18 16:04:31 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed up readline.cc and readline.h so that they work OK
with g++ compilers that aren't completely up-to-date.
If symbol COMPILER_FIXED is defined then the behavior
that works on my more recent version of g++ is enabled.
Sun Jul 9 17:53:28 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed the ./tests subdirectory Makefile so that it
uses $(CC) instead of gcc.
Sun Jul 2 21:52:15 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a number of subtle bugs that occurred when -S was
combined with various and sundry options.
* Added the -G option, that makes the generated keyword table
a global static variable, rather than hiding it inside
the lookup function. This allows other functions to directly
access the contents in this table.
* Added the "#" feature, that allows comments inside the keyword
list from the input file. Comment handling takes place in readline.c.
This simplifies the code and reduces the number of malloc calls.
* Also added the -H option (user can give the name of the hash
function) and the -T option (prevents the transfer of the type decl
to the output file, which is useful if the type is already defined
elsewhere).
Thu Jun 22 20:39:39 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified many classes so that they would inherit Std_Err as
a base class. This makes things more abstract...
Fri Jun 16 14:23:00 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified the -f (FAST) option. This now takes an argument.
The argument corresponds to the number of iterations used
to resolve collisions. -f 0 uses the length of the
keyword list (which is what -f did before). This makes
life much easier when dealing with large keyword files.
Tue Jun 6 17:53:27 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the -c (comparison) option. Enabling this
will use the strncmp function for string comparisons.
The default is to use strcmp.
* Fixed a typo in key_list.cc (PRINT_SWITCH). This caused
faulty C code to be generated when the -D, -p, and -t
options were all enabled.
Thu May 25 14:07:21 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Once again, changed class Read_Line to overload global operator
new. Hopefully, this will work...!
Sun May 21 01:51:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified Key_List::print_hash_function () so that it properly
formats the associated values in the hash table according to
the maximum number of digits required to represent the largest
value.
* Removed the named return value from class Hash_Table's
operator (), since this causes a seg fault when -O is enabled.
No sense tripping subtle g++ bugs if we don't have to.... ;-)
* Removed the operator new hack from Read_Line, since this seemed
to create horrible bus error problems.
* Changed many class member functions and data members to be `static',
if they don't manipulate this!
Fri May 12 23:06:56 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Changed class Std_Err to use static member functions, a la
Ada or Modula 2. This eliminates the need for an explicit
error-handler class object.
* Added the ``named return value'' feature to Hash_Table::operator ()
and Bool_Array::operator [], just for the heck of it.... ;-)
* Changed the previous hack in Read_Line so that we now use
the overloaded global `new' instead of NEW_STRING!
Wed May 3 17:36:55 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Updated to version 1.7. This reflects the recent major changes
and the new C port.
* Modified the GNU getopt.cc routine to have a class-based interface.
* Fixed a typo in Perfect.cc ~Perfect that prevented the actual maximum
hash table size from being printed (maybe the stream classes
weren't so bad after all.... ;-).
* Added support for the -f option. This generates the perfect
hash function ``fast.'' It reduces the execution time of
gperf, at the cost of minimizing the range of hash values.
Tue May 2 16:23:29 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Added an efficiency hack to Read_Line. Instead of making
a call to operator NEW (a.k.a. malloc) for each input string
a new member function NEW_STRING stores a large buffer from
which new strings are carved out, growing the buffer if
necessary. It might be useful to add this throughout the
program....
* Removed all unnecessary calls to DELETE. If the program is about
to exit it is silly to waste time freeing memory.
* Added the GNU getopt program to the distribution. This makes
GPERF portable to systems that don't include getopt in libc.
* Added a strcspn member to class Key_List. This also increases
portability.
* Added the get_include_src function from keylist.c as a member
function in class Key_List. Hopefully every function is
now associated with a class. This aids abstraction and
modularity.
* Ported gperf to C. From now on both K&R C and GNU G++ versions
will be supported. There will be two ChangeLog files, one
for each version of the program.
Mon May 1 16:41:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a bug with -k'*'. This now prints out *all* the cases
up to the length of the longest word in the keyword set.
Sun Apr 30 12:15:25 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Removed all use of the stream classes. Too ugly, slow, and
not handled by the c++-mode formatter....
* Modified the handling of links (i.e., keywords that have
identical hash values as other keywords). This should
speed up hash function generation for keyword sets with
many duplicate entries. The trick is to treat duplicate
values as equivalence classes, so that each set of duplicate
values is represented only once in the main list processing.
* Fixed some capitialization typos and indentations mistakes in
Key_List::print_hash_function.
Sat Apr 29 12:04:03 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a typo/logico in Key_List::print_switch that prevented
the last keyword in the keyword list to be print out. This
requires further examination.....
* Fixed a stupid bug in List_Node::List_node. If the -k'*' option
was enabled the KEY_SET string wasn't getting terminated with
'\0'!
Fri Apr 28 12:38:35 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Renamed strexp.h and strexp.cc to iterator.h and iterator.cc.
Also changed the strexp class to iterator. Continued to work
on style...
* Updated the version number to 1.6. This reflects all the
recent changes.
Thu Apr 27 00:14:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the -D option that properly handles keyword sets that
contain duplicate hash values.
* Continued the stylistic changes. Added the #pragma once
directive to all the *.h files. Removed all #defines and
replaced them with static consts. Also moved the key_sort
routine from options.cc into the options class as a
member function.
Mon Apr 3 13:26:55 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
* Made massive stylistic changes to bring source code into
conformance with GNU style guidelines.
Thu Mar 30 23:28:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed up the output routines so that they generate code
corresponding to the GNU style guidelines.
Sat Mar 11 13:12:37 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed Stderr constructors so that they wouldn't try to
use the base class initializer syntax for the static
class variable Program_Name. G++ 1.34 is stricter in
enforcing the rules!
Fri Mar 10 11:24:14 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Removed -v and ``| more'' from the Makefile to keep rfg happy...
Thu Mar 2 12:37:30 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Sent latest GNU gperf version 1.5 to Doug Lea for inclusion
into libg++ 1.34. Note that there is a small bug with
the new %{ ... %} source inclusion facility, since it doesn't
understand comments and will barf if %{ or %} appear nested
inside the outermost delimiters. This is too trivial of
a defect to fix at the moment...
Tue Feb 28 11:19:58 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added the -K option, which allows the user to provide a
alternative name for the keyword structure component.
The default is still ``name.''
* Added the LEX and YACC-like ability to include arbitrary
text at the beginning of the generated C source code output.
This required two new functions Get_Special_Input,
Key_List::Save_Include_Src;
* Fixed memory allocation bug in Key_List::Set_Types.
Variable Return_Type needs 1 additional location
to store the "*" if the -p option is used.
* Added code to NULL terminate both Struct_Tag and Return_Type,
*after* the strncpy (stupid mistake).
Mon Feb 27 14:39:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added a new option -N. This allows the user to specify the
name to be used for the generated lookup function. The
default name is still ``in_word_set.'' This makes it
possible to completely automate the perfect hash function
generation process!
Mon Feb 20 23:33:14 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Corrected the Hash_Table::operator () function so that
*it* is responsible for deciding when a new key has the
same signature as a previously seen key. The key length
information is now used internally to this function to
decide whether to add to the hash table those keys with
the same key sets, but different lengths. Before, this
was handled by the Key_List::Read_Keys function. However,
this failed to work for certain duplicate keys, since
they weren't being entered into the hash table properly.
Sun Feb 19 16:02:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified class Options by moving the enum Option_Type out
of the class. This is to satisfy the new enumeration
scope rules in C++.
Sun Jan 15 15:12:09 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Incremented the version number upto 1.4 to reflect the new
options that affect the generated code. Send the new
distribution off to Michael for use with g++ 1.33.
* Added a fix to Key_List::Read_Keys so that it checks for links
properly when the -n option is used. Previously, it didn't
catch obvious links, which caused it to spend large amount
of time searching for a solution that could never occur!
* Modified the Key_List data structure to record *both* the
minimum and the maximum key lengths. This information
is now computed in Key_List::Read_Keys, and thus
Key_List::Print_Min_Max doesn't need to bother.
* Modifed the key position iterator scheme in options.cc to
eliminate the need for member function Options::Advance.
Now, the Options::Get function performs the advancement
automatically, obviating the need for an extra function call.
* Added the new function Options::Print_Options, to print out
the user-specified command line options to generated C
output file.
* Added a new function, Key_List::Print_Keylength_Table,
which creates a table of lengths for use in speeding
up the keyword search. This also meant that a new
option, -l (LENTABLE) is recognized. It controls
whether the length table is printed and the comparison
made in the generated function ``in_word_set.''
* Added a comment at the top of the generated C code
output file that tells what version of gperf was used.
Next, I'll also dump out the command line options
as a comment too. Thanks to Michael Tiemann for the
feedback on this.
* Fixed the -n option to make it work correctly with
other parts of the program (most notably the Perfect::Hash
function and the computation of minimum and maximum lengths.
Fri Jan 13 21:25:27 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Realized the the need to add a test that will enable
optimziation of the generated C code in the ``hash'' function
by checking whether all the requested key positions are
guaranteed to exist due to the comparison in `in_word_set.''
I'll put this in soon....
Thu Jan 12 20:09:21 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Added pascal, modula3, and modula2 tests inputs to the
Makefile
* Recognised that there is a bug with the -n option. However
I'm too busy to fix it properly, right now. The problem
is that the generated #define end up being 0, since that's
my hack to make -n work. This needs complete rethinking!

* Added a new option, -n, that instructs gperf to not use the
length of an identifier when computing the hash functions.
I'm not sure how useful this is!
* Retransmitted the distribution to rocky.oswego.edu. Hopefully,
this will work!
* Began fixing the indentation and capitalization to conform
to the GNU coding guidelines.
Mon Jan 9 22:23:18 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at pompe.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed horrible bug in Read_Line::Readln_Aux. This was
a subtle and pernicous off-by-1 error, that overwrote
past the last character of the input string buffer. I
think this fault was killing the vax!
* Yow, fixed an oversight in List_Node::List_Node, where the
pointer field Next was uninitialized. Luckily, the new routine
seems to return 0 filled objects the first time through!
Sun Jan 8 13:43:14 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Modified the ``key linked'' diagnostic in Key_List::Read_Keys
to be more helpful and easy to read.
* Fixed the List_Node::List_Node so that it would ignore trailing
fields if the -t option was not enabled.
* Moved the List_Node declarations out of keylist.h and
into a file of its own, called listnode.cc and listnode.h
Made Set_Sort a member function of class List_Node.
* Massively updated the documentation in the gperf.texinfo file.
* Polished off the major revision to the print functions,
added a few new tests in the Makefile to check for the
validity of the program and ftp'ed the entire distribution
off to Doug Lea for libg++. ( changed it to
1.3 to reflect the major changes with the generated
C code ).
* Fixed Key_List::Print_Switch to deal with the -p and -t options.
This meant that the ``still-born'' function Key_List::
Print_Type_Switch was superflous, so I removed it.
Also, removed the restriction in Option that the -p and
-t options couldn't be used simultaneously.
* Modified List_Node::List_Node, to perform only 1 call to
``new'' when dynamically allocating memory for the Key_Set
and the Uniq_Set.
Sat Jan 7 14:10:51 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
* Fixed a big bug with the new policy of nesting the
wordlist inside of generated function ``in_word_set.''
I'd forgotten to declare the wordlist array as static!
( arrgh ).
* Added a new function Key_List::Set_Types, that figures out
the return type for generated function ``in_word_set,''
the user-defined ``struct tag,'' if one is used, and also
formates the array type for the static local array.
* Changed the print routines to take advantage of the
new -p option.
* Began adding the hooks to allow the return of a pointer
to a user defined struct location from the generated
``in_word_set'' function instead of the current 0 or 1
return value. Created function Key_List::Print_Type_Switch
and added option -p to class Option, allowing the user to
request generation of the aforementioned pointers returned
instead of booleans.
* Put in checks in class Option to make sure that -S and -t
options are not used simultaneously. This restriction
will be removed in subsequent releases, once I decide on
a clean way to implement it.
* Sent version 1.2 to Doug Lea for possible inclusion into
the libg++ distribution.
* Moved the static word_list array inside the generated function
in_word_set. This supports better data hiding.
* Added a texinfo file, gperf.texinfo
* Revised the Makefile to cleanup the droppings from texinfo
and changed the name of gperf.cc and gperf.h to perfect.cc
and perfect.h.
Fri Jan 6 13:04:45 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
* Implemented the switch statement output format. Much better
for large datasets in terms of space used.
* Added new functions to break up the Key_List::Output function.
Functions added were Key_List::Print_Switch,
Key_List::Print_Min_Max, Key_List::Print_Keyword_Table,
Key_List::Print_Hash_Function, and
Key_List::Print_Lookup_Function. This simplifies the big mess
in Key_List::Output considerably!
* Added switch statement option to Options, which potentially
trades time for space in the generated lookup code.
Thu Jan 5 22:46:34 1989 Doug Schmidt (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
* Released version 1.1
* Fixed a bug with Gperf::Merge_Set, it was skipping letters
shared between the Set_1 and Set_2.
* Added the optimal min/max algorithm in Key_List::Output. This
runs in O (3n/2), rather than O (2n) time.
* Changed Gperf::Sort_Set to use insertion sort, rather than
bubble sort.
* Added a check in Key_List::Output for the special case where
the keys used are 1,$. It is possible to generate more
efficient C code in this case.
