NET.HEXAPODIA.HASHTABLES Generic hash table implementation. This implementation is in the public domain. Written by Ingvar Mattsson <ingvar@hexapodia.net>. This package defines four generic functions and two normal functions. The non-generic function MAKE-GENERIC-HASH-TABLE is used for hash table creation. (make-generic-hashtable (:test 'eql) (:size 17)) If this function is fed the *symbols* EQ EQL EQUAL or EQUALP as test it will create a generic hash table with that as an equality test and SXHASH as the hash function. NOTE: Using EQ or EQL as the test designator is risky and should be avoided. In general, for the built-in test designators, use the function instead of the symbol. This will give you a built-in hash table. If this function is fed the *functions* EQ EQL EQUAL or EQUALP it will create a normal (built-in) hash table with that as a test function. (register-test-designator <nickname> <hash fn> <equal fn>) Register a new generic hash function with <nickname> as the relevant :test parameter. The generic functions are: (hashref <key> <table> &optnonal (default nil)) This function does essentially the same thing as GETHASH. ((setf hashref) <value> <key> <table> &optional ignore) For (setf (hashref ...) ...) (map-generic-hash <fn> <table>) As MAPHASH (hashrem <key> <table>) As REMHASH These functions dispatch somewhat differently depending on if they're fed a generic hash table or a built-in hash table. For benchmarking, just load "benchtests.lisp", this will loop through the number 0 to 1000 (and 100000) and feed them into a hash table, then generating a report of *STANDARD-OUTPUT*.
