--  Hash table searching routines

--  This package contains two separate packages. The Simple_HTable package
--  provides a very simple abstraction that associates one element to one
--  key value and takes care of all allocations automatically using the heap.
--  The Static_HTable package provides a more complex interface that allows
--  complete control over allocation.

--  Note: actual code is found in System.HTable (s-htable.ads/adb) since
--  this facility is accessed from run time routines, but clients should
--  always access the version supplied via GNAT.HTable.

package GNAT.HTable is
   pragma Preelaborate;
   pragma Elaborate_Body;
   --  The elaborate body is because we have a dummy body to deal with
   --  bootstrap path problems (we used to have a real body, and now we don't
   --  need it any more, but the bootstrap requires that we have a dummy body,
   --  since otherwise the old body gets picked up.

   -------------------
   -- Simple_HTable --
   -------------------

   --  A simple hash table abstraction, easy to instantiate, easy to use.
   --  The table associates one element to one key with the procedure Set.
   --  Get retrieves the Element stored for a given Key. The efficiency of
   --  retrieval is function of the size of the Table parameterized by
   --  Header_Num and the hashing function Hash.

   generic package Simple_HTable renames System.HTable.Simple_HTable;

   --  For convenience of reference here is what this package has in it:

   --  generic
   --     type Header_Num is range <>;
   --     --  An integer type indicating the number and range of hash headers

   --     type Element is private;
   --     --  The type of element to be stored

   --     No_Element : Element;
   --     --  The object that is returned by Get when no element has been set
   --     --  for a given key

   --     type Key is private;
   --     with function Hash  (F : Key)      return Header_Num;
   --     with function Equal (F1, F2 : Key) return Boolean;

   --  package Simple_HTable is

   --     procedure Set (K : Key; E : Element);
   --     --  Associates an element with a given key. Overrides any previously
   --     --  associated element.

   --     procedure Reset;
   --     --  Removes and frees all elements in the table

   --     function Get (K : Key) return Element;
   --     --  Returns the Element associated with a key or No_Element if the
   --     --  given key has not associated element

   --     procedure Remove (K : Key);
   --     --  Removes the latest inserted element pointer associated with the
   --     --  given key if any, does nothing if none.

   --     function Get_First return Element;
   --     --  Returns No_Element if the HTable is empty, otherwise returns one
   --     --  non specified element. There is no guarantee that two calls to
   --     --  this function will return the same element.

   --     function Get_Next return Element;
   --     --  Returns a non-specified element that has not been returned by the
   --     --  same function since the last call to Get_First or No_Element if
   --     --  there is no such element. If there is no call to 'Set' in between
   --     --  Get_Next calls, all the elements of the HTable will be traversed.

   --     procedure Get_First (K : out Key; E : out Element);
   --     --  This version of the iterator returns a key/element pair. A non-
   --     --  specified entry is returned, and there is no guarantee that two
   --     --  calls to this procedure will return the same element.

   --     procedure Get_Next (K : out Key; E : out Element);
   --     --  This version of the iterator returns a key/element pair. It
   --     --  returns a non-specified element that has not been returned since
   --     --  the last call to Get_First. If there is no remaining element,
   --     --  then E is set to No_Element, and the value in K is undefined.
   --     --  If there is no call to Set in between Get_Next calls, all the
   --     --  elements of the HTable will be traversed.

   -- Static_HTable --
   -------------------

   --  A low-level Hash-Table abstraction, not as easy to instantiate as
   --  Simple_HTable but designed to allow complete control over the
   --  allocation of necessary data structures. Particularly useful when
   --  dynamic allocation is not desired. The model is that each Element
   --  contains its own Key that can be retrieved by Get_Key. Furthermore,
   --  Element provides a link that can be used by the HTable for linking
   --  elements with same hash codes:

   --       Element

   --         |       Key         |
