| What is it? |
| ----------- |
| Gperf: generate a perfect hash function from a key set |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| GNU gperf is a perfect hash function generator. For a given list of |
| strings, it produces a hash function and hash table in the form of |
| C or C++ code, for looking up a value depending on the input string. |
| The hash function is perfect,' which means that the hash table has |
| no collisions, and the hash table lookup needs a single string |
| comparison only. GNU gperf is highly customizable. There are options |
| for generating C and C++ code, for emitting 'switch' statements or |
| nested 'ifs' instead of a hash table, and for tuning the algorithm |
| that gperf uses. |

| Compilation |
| ----------- |
| The package has been compiled with GNU auto-tools, GNU make, and Mingw |
| (GCC for MS-Windows). Any differences from the original sources are given |
| in gperf-3.0.1-GnuWin32.diffs in gperf-3.0.1-src.zip. Libraries needed |
| for compilation can be found at the lines starting with 'LIBS = ' in the |
| Makefiles. Usually, these are standard libraries provided with Mingw, or |
| libraries from the package itself; 'gw32c' refers to the libgw32c package, |
| which provides MS-Windows substitutes or stubs for functions normally found in |
| Unix. For more information, see: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html |
| and http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm. |
