gperf will generate a hash function for a known set of data. It will generate an almost perfect hash with a few collisions. Actually, the size of the hash table can be control at command line. Collisions are handled by the generated hash functions for you. Very easy to use, I used it to hash the frequency of Chinese character in zh-autoconvert (A Chinese encoding converter written by saka). For 400 items, a hash table of size around 1000, and 5 collisions. Of cause it is for my specific data. -- Best regard hashao _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
