#---------------------------------------------------------------------- # # PerfectHash.pm # Perl module that constructs minimal perfect hash functions # # This code constructs a minimal perfect hash function for the given # set of keys, using an algorithm described in # "An optimal algorithm for generating minimal perfect hash functions" # by Czech, Havas and Majewski in Information Processing Letters, # 43(5):256-264, October 1992. # This implementation is loosely based on NetBSD's "nbperf", # which was written by Joerg Sonnenberger. # # The resulting hash function is perfect in the sense that if the presented # key is one of the original set, it will return the key's index in the set # (in range 0..N-1). However, the caller must still verify the match, # as false positives are possible. Also, the hash function may return # values that are out of range (negative, or >= N). This indicates that # the presented key is definitely not in the set. # # # Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2019, PostgreSQL Global Development Group # Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California # # src/tools/PerfectHash.pm # #---------------------------------------------------------------------- package PerfectHash; use strict; use warnings; # At runtime, we'll compute two simple hash functions of the input key, # and use them to index into a mapping table.
