DESCRIPTIONThis library implements type-checked dynamic hash tables. The hash table entries can be arbitrary structures. Usually they consist of key and value fields. In the description here, TYPE is used a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as SSL_SESSION. ​lh_TYPE_new() creates a new LHASH_OF(TYPE) structure to store arbitrary data entries, and specifies the 'hash' and 'compare' callbacks to be used in organising the table's entries. The hash callback takes a pointer to a table entry as its argument and returns an unsigned long hash value for its key field. The hash value is normally truncated to a power of 2, so make sure that your hash function returns well mixed low order bits. The compare callback takes two arguments (pointers to two hash table entries), and returns 0 if their keys are equal, nonzero otherwise. If your hash table will contain items of some particular type and the hash and ​compare callbacks hash/compare these types, then the ​IMPLEMENT_LHASH_HASH_FN and IMPLEMENT_LHASH_COMP_FN macros can be used to create callback wrappers of the prototypes required by ​lh_TYPE_new() as shown in this example: ​ /* ​ * Implement the hash and compare functions; "stuff" can be any word. ​ */ ​ static unsigned long stuff_hash(const TYPE *a) ​ { ​ ... ​ } ​ static int stuff_cmp(const TYPE *a, const TYPE *b) ​ { ​ ... ​ } ​ ​ /* ​ * Implement the wrapper functions. ​ */ ​ static IMPLEMENT_LHASH_HASH_FN(stuff, TYPE) ​ static IMPLEMENT_LHASH_COMP_FN(stuff, TYPE) If the type is going to be used in several places, the following macros can be used in a common header file to declare the function wrappers: ​ DECLARE_LHASH_HASH_FN(stuff, TYPE) ​ DECLARE_LHASH_COMP_FN(stuff, TYPE) Then a hash table of TYPE objects can be created using this: ​ LHASH_OF(TYPE) *htable; ​ ​ htable = lh_TYPE_new(LHASH_HASH_FN(stuff), LHASH_COMP_FN(stuff)); ​lh_TYPE_free() frees the LHASH_OF(TYPE) structure ​table. Allocated hash table entries will not be freed; consider using lh_TYPE_doall() to deallocate any remaining entries in the hash table (see below). ​lh_TYPE_insert() inserts the structure pointed to by data into ​table. If there already is an entry with the same key, the old value is replaced. Note that lh_TYPE_insert() stores pointers, the data are not copied. ​lh_TYPE_delete() deletes an entry from table. ​lh_TYPE_retrieve() looks up an entry in table. Normally, data is a structure with the key field(s) set; the function will return a pointer to a fully populated structure. ​lh_TYPE_doall() will, for every entry in the hash table, call ​func with the data item as its parameter. For example: ​ /* Cleans up resources belonging to 'a' (this is implemented elsewhere) */ ​ void TYPE_cleanup_doall(TYPE *a); ​ ​ /* Implement a prototype−compatible wrapper for "TYPE_cleanup" */ ​ IMPLEMENT_LHASH_DOALL_FN(TYPE_cleanup, TYPE) ​ ​ /* Call "TYPE_cleanup" against all items in a hash table. */ ​ lh_TYPE_doall(hashtable, LHASH_DOALL_FN(TYPE_cleanup)); ​ ​ /* Then the hash table itself can be deallocated */ ​ lh_TYPE_free(hashtable); When doing this, be careful if you delete entries from the hash table in your callbacks: the table may decrease in size, moving the item that you are currently on down lower in the hash table − this could cause some entries to be skipped during the iteration. The second best solution to this problem is to set hash−>down_load=0 before you start (which will stop the hash table ever decreasing in size). The best solution is probably to avoid deleting items from the hash table inside a ‟doall” callback! ​lh_TYPE_doall_arg() is the same as lh_TYPE_doall() except that ​func will be called with arg as the second argument and func should be of type LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN_TYPE (a callback prototype that is passed both the table entry and an extra argument). As with ​lh_doall(), you can instead choose to declare your callback with a prototype matching the types you are dealing with and use the declare/implement macros to create compatible wrappers that cast variables before calling your type-specific callbacks. An example of this is demonstrated here (printing all hash table entries to a BIO that is provided by the caller): ​ /* Prints item 'a' to 'output_bio' (this is implemented elsewhere) */ ​ void TYPE_print_doall_arg(const TYPE *a, BIO *output_bio); ​ ​ /* Implement a prototype−compatible wrapper for "TYPE_print" */ ​ static IMPLEMENT_LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN(TYPE, const TYPE, BIO) ​ ​ /* Print out the entire hashtable to a particular BIO */ ​ lh_TYPE_doall_arg(hashtable, LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN(TYPE_print), BIO, ​ logging_bio); ​lh_TYPE_error() can be used to determine if an error occurred in the last operation.
RETURN VALUES​lh_TYPE_new() returns NULL on error, otherwise a pointer to the new ​LHASH structure. When a hash table entry is replaced, lh_TYPE_insert() returns the value being replaced. NULL is returned on normal operation and on error. ​lh_TYPE_delete() returns the entry being deleted. NULL is returned if there is no such value in the hash table. ​lh_TYPE_retrieve() returns the hash table entry if it has been found, ​NULL otherwise. ​lh_TYPE_error() returns 1 if an error occurred in the last operation, 0 otherwise. It's meaningful only after non-retrieve operations. ​lh_TYPE_free(), lh_TYPE_doall() and lh_TYPE_doall_arg() return no values.
NOTEThe LHASH code is not thread safe. All updating operations, as well as lh_TYPE_error call must be performed under a write lock. All retrieve operations should be performed under a read lock, unless accurate usage statistics are desired. In which case, a write lock should be used for retrieve operations as well. For output of the usage statistics, using the functions from OPENSSL_LH_stats (3), a read lock suffices. The LHASH code regards table entries as constant data. As such, it internally represents lh_insert()'d items with a ‟const void *” pointer type. This is why callbacks such as those used by lh_doall() and lh_doall_arg() declare their prototypes with ‟const”, even for the parameters that pass back the table items' data pointers − for consistency, user-provided data is ‟const” at all times as far as the ​LHASH code is concerned. However, as callers are themselves providing these pointers, they can choose whether they too should be treating all such parameters as constant. As an example, a hash table may be maintained by code that, for reasons of encapsulation, has only ‟const” access to the data being indexed in the hash table (i.e. it is returned as ‟const” from elsewhere in their code) − in this case the LHASH prototypes are appropriate as-is. Conversely, if the caller is responsible for the life-time of the data in question, then they may well wish to make modifications to table item passed back in the lh_doall() or ​lh_doall_arg() callbacks (see the ‟TYPE_cleanup” example above). If so, the caller can either cast the ‟const” away (if they're providing the raw callbacks themselves) or use the macros to declare/implement the wrapper functions without ‟const” types. Callers that only have ‟const” access to data they're indexing in a table, yet declare callbacks without constant types (or cast the ​‟const” away themselves), are therefore creating their own risks/bugs without being encouraged to do so by the API. On a related note, those auditing code should pay special attention to any instances of DECLARE/IMPLEMENT_LHASH_DOALL_[ARG_]_FN macros that provide types without any ‟const” qualifiers.
BUGS​lh_TYPE_insert() returns NULL both for success and error.
