I think that this patch should be split for clarity, as there are a
few things that are independently useful. I guess something like
that:
- Introduction of hash_initial_lookup(), that simplifies 3 places of
dynahash.c where the same code is used. The routine should be
inlined.
- The split in hash_seq_search to force a different type of search is
weird, complicating the dynahash interface by hiding what seems like a
search mode. Rather than hasHashvalue that's hidden in the middle of
HASH_SEQ_STATUS, could it be better to have an entirely different API
for the search? That should be a patch on its own, as well.
- The typcache changes.
