DESCRIPTION
       Cdt  manages run-time dictionaries using standard container data types:
       unordered set/multiset, ordered set/multiset, list, stack, and queue.

   DICTIONARY TYPES
     Dt_t
       This is the type of a dictionary handle.

     Dtdisc_t
       This defines the type of a discipline structure which describes  object
       lay-out and manipulation functions.

     Dtmethod_t
       This defines the type of a container method.

     Dtlink_t
       This is the type of a dictionary object holder (see dtdisc().)

     Dtstat_t
       This  is  the  type of a structure to return dictionary statistics (see
       dtstat().)

   DICTIONARY CONTROL
     Dt_t* dtopen(const Dtdisc_t* disc, const Dtmethod_t* meth)
       This creates a new dictionary.   disc  is  a  discipline  structure  to
       describe   object   format.   meth  specifies  a  manipulation  method.
       dtopen() returns the new dictionary or NULL on  error.   See  also  the
       events DT_OPEN and DT_ENDOPEN below.

     int dtclose(Dt_t* dt)
       This  deletes  dt  and its objects.  Note that dtclose() fails if dt is
       being viewed by some  other  dictionaries  (see  dtview()).   dtclose()
       returns 0 on success and -1 on error.  See also the events DT_CLOSE and
       DT_ENDCLOSE below.

     void dtclear(Dt_t* dt)
       This deletes all objects in dt without closing dt.

     Dtmethod_t dtmethod(Dt_t* dt, const Dtmethod_t* meth)
       If meth is NULL, dtmethod() returns the current method.  Otherwise,  it
       changes  the  storage  method  of dt to meth.  Object order remains the
       same during a method switch among Dtlist, Dtstack, Dtqueue and Dtdeque.
       Switching  to  and from Dtset/Dtbag and Dtoset/Dtobag may cause objects
       to be rehashed, reordered, or removed as the case requires.  dtmethod()
       returns the previous method or NULL on error.

     Dtdisc_t* dtdisc(Dt_t* dt, const Dtdisc_t* disc, int type)
       If  disc  is NULL, dtdisc() returns the current discipline.  Otherwise,
       it changes the discipline of dt to  disc.   Objects  may  be  rehashed,
       reordered,  or removed as appropriate.  type can be any bit combination
       of DT_SAMECMP and DT_SAMEHASH.  DT_SAMECMP means that objects will com-
       pare  exactly the same as before thus obviating the need for reordering
       or removing new duplicates.  DT_SAMEHASH  means  that  hash  values  of
       objects  remain  the  same thus obviating the need to rehash.  dtdisc()
       returns the previous discipline on success and NULL on error.

     Dt_t* dtview(Dt_t* dt, Dt_t* view)
       A viewpath allows a search or walk starting from a dictionary  to  con-
       tinue  to  another.  dtview() first terminates any current view from dt
       to another dictionary.  Then, if view is NULL, dtview returns the  ter-
       minated  view  dictionary.   If view is not NULL, a viewpath from dt to
       view is established.  dtview() returns dt on success and NULL on error.

       It is an error to have dictionaries on a viewpath with different  stor-
       age  methods.   In  addition, dictionaries on the same view path should
       treat objects in a consistent manner  with  respect  to  comparison  or
       hashing.  If not, undefined behaviors may result.

   STORAGE METHODS
       Storage  methods  are  of type Dtmethod_t*.  Cdt supports the following
       methods:

     Dtoset
     Dtobag
       Objects are ordered by comparisons.  Dtoset keeps unique objects.  Dto-
       bag allows repeatable objects.

     Dtset
     Dtbag
       Objects  are  unordered.   Dtset  keeps  unique  objects.  Dtbag allows
       repeatable objects and always keeps them together (note the  effect  on
       dictionary  walking.)   These methods use a hash table with chaining to
       manage the objects.  See also the event DT_HASHSIZE  below  on  how  to
       manage hash table resizing when objects are inserted.

     Dtlist
       Objects  are  kept in a list.  The call dtinsert() inserts a new object
       in front of the current object (see dtfinger()) if it is defined or  at
       list  front if no current object is defined.  Similarly, the call dtap-
       pend() appends a new object after the current object  (see  dtfinger())
       if it is defined or at list end if no current object is defined.

     Dtdeque
       Objects  are  kept  in  a  deque. This is similar to Dtlist except that
       objects are always inserted at the front and appended at  the  tail  of
       the list.

     Dtstack
       Objects  are  kept  in  a  stack,  i.e., in reverse order of insertion.
       Thus, the last object inserted is at stack top and will be the first to
       be deleted.

     Dtqueue
       Objects  are  kept  in a queue, i.e., in order of insertion.  Thus, the
       first object inserted is at queue head and will  be  the  first  to  be
       deleted.

   DISCIPLINE
       Object  format  and  associated management functions are defined in the
       type Dtdisc_t:
           typedef struct
           { int        key, size;
             int        link;
             Dtmake_f   makef;
             Dtfree_f   freef;
             Dtcompar_f comparf;
             Dthash_f   hashf;
             Dtmemory_f memoryf;
             Dtevent_f  eventf;
           } Dtdisc_t;

     int key, size
       Each object obj is identified by a key used for  object  comparison  or
       hashing.   key  should  be non-negative and defines an offset into obj.
       If size is negative, the key is a null-terminated string with  starting
       address *(void**)((char*)obj+key).  If size is zero, the key is a null-
       terminated  string  with  starting   address   (void*)((char*)obj+key).
       Finally,  if  size  is positive, the key is a byte array of length size
       starting at (void*)((char*)obj+key).

     int link
       Let obj be an object to be inserted into dt  as  discussed  below.   If
       link is negative, an internally allocated object holder is used to hold
       obj. Otherwise, obj should have  a  Dtlink_t  structure  embedded  link
       bytes into it, i.e., at address (Dtlink_t*)((char*)obj+link).

     void* (*makef)(Dt_t* dt, void* obj, Dtdisc_t* disc)
       If  makef  is  not NULL, dtinsert(dt,obj) or dtappend() will call it to
       make a copy of obj suitable for insertion into dt.  If makef  is  NULL,
       obj itself will be inserted into dt.

     void (*freef)(Dt_t* dt, void* obj, Dtdisc_t* disc)
       If not NULL, freef is used to destroy data associated with obj.

   int (*comparf)(Dt_t* dt, void* key1, void* key2, Dtdisc_t* disc)
       If  not  NULL,  comparf  is used to compare two keys.  Its return value
       should be <0, =0, or >0 to indicate whether key1 is smaller, equal  to,
       or  larger  than  key2.   All  three  values are significant for method
       Dtoset and Dtobag.  For other methods, a zero value indicates  equality
       and a non-zero value indicates inequality.  If (*comparf)() is NULL, an
       internal function is used  to  compare  the  keys  as  defined  by  the
       Dtdisc_t.size field.

     unsigned int (*hashf)(Dt_t* dt, void* key, Dtdisc_t* disc)
       If  not  NULL,  hashf  is used to compute the hash value of key.  It is
       required that keys compared equal will also have same hash values.   If
       hashf  is NULL, an internal function is used to hash the key as defined
       by the Dtdisc_t.size field.

     void* (*memoryf)(Dt_t* dt, void* addr, size_t size, Dtdisc_t* disc)
       If not NULL, memoryf is used to allocate and free memory.  When addr is
       NULL,  a memory segment of size size is requested.  If addr is not NULL
       and size is zero, addr is to be freed.  If addr is not NULL and size is
       positive, addr is to be resized to the given size.  If memoryf is NULL,
       malloc(3) is used.

     int (*eventf)(Dt_t* dt, int type, void* data, Dtdisc_t* disc)
       If not NULL, eventf announces various events.  Each event may have par-
       ticular  handling  of  the  return  values from eventf.  But a negative
       return value typically means failure.  Following are the events:

       DT_OPEN:
              dt is being opened.  If eventf  returns  negative,  the  opening
              process  terminates  with  failure.  If eventf returns zero, the
              opening process proceeds in a default manner.  A positive return
              value  indicates  special  treatment  of  memory as follows.  If
              *(void**)data is set to point to some  memory  segment  as  dis-
              cussed  in  memoryf, that segment of memory is used to start the
              dictionary. If *(void**)data is NULL, all memory including  that
              of the dictionary handle itself will be allocated via memoryf.

       DT_ENDOPEN:
              This  event  announces  that  dtopen() has successfully opened a
              dictionary and is about to return. The data argument  of  eventf
              should be the new dictionary handle itself.

       DT_CLOSE:
              dt  is about to be closed. If eventf returns negative, the clos-
              ing process stops immediately and dtclose() returns -1.  Objects
              in  the dictionary are deleted only if eventf returns zero.  The
              dictionary handle itself is processed as  follows.   If  it  was
              allocated  via  malloc(), it will be freed.  If it was allocated
              via memoryf (see dtopen()) and eventf returns 0, a call to memo-
              ryf  will  be  issued to attempt freeing the handle.  Otherwise,
              nothing will be done to its memory.

              As should be clear from their description,  the  events  DT_OPEN
              and  DT_CLOSE are designed to be used along with memoryf to man-
              age the allocation and deallocation  of  dictionary  and  object
              memory  across dictionaries. In fact, they can be used to manage
              dictionaries based on shared and/or persistent memory.

       DT_ENDCLOSE:
              This event announces that dtclose() has  successfully  closed  a
              dictionary and is about to return.

       DT_DISC:
              The  discipline  of  dt  is  being changed to a new one given in
              (Dtdisc_t*)data.

       DT_METH:
              The method of dt  is  being  changed  to  a  new  one  given  in
              (Dtmethod_t*)data.

       DT_HASHSIZE:
              The  hash table (for Dtset and Dtbag) is being resized.  In this
              case, *(int*)data has the current size of the table.  The appli-
              cation  can set the new table size by first changing *(int*)data
              to the desired size, then return a positive value.  The applica-
              tion can also fix the table size at the current value forever by
              setting *(int*)data to a negative value,  then  again  return  a
              positive  value. A non-positive return value from the event han-
              dling function means that Cdt will be responsible  for  choosing
              the hash table size.

   #define DTOFFSET(struct_s,member)
       This  macro  function  computes  the offset of member from the start of
       structure struct_s. It is useful for getting the offset of  a  Dtlink_t
       embedded inside an object.

   #define DTDISC(disc,key,size,link,makef,freef,comparf,hashf,memoryf,eventf)
       This  macro function initializes the discipline pointed to by disc with
       the given values.

   OBJECT OPERATIONS
     void* dtinsert(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
     void* dtappend(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       These functions add an object prototyped by obj  into  dt.   dtinsert()
       and  dtappend()  perform  the  same function for all methods except for
       Dtlist. See Dtlist for details.  If there is an existing object  in  dt
       matching  obj and the storage method is Dtset or Dtoset, dtinsert() and
       dtappend() will simply return the matching object.   Otherwise,  a  new
       object  is inserted according to the method in use.  See Dtdisc_t.makef
       for object construction.  The new object or a matching object as  noted
       will be returned on success while NULL is returned on error.

     void* dtdelete(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       If  obj  is NULL, methods Dtstack and Dtqueue delete respectively stack
       top or queue head while other methods do nothing.  If obj is not  NULL,
       there  are two cases.  If the method in use is not Dtbag or Dtobag, the
       first object matching obj is deleted.  On the other hand, if the method
       in  use  is  Dtbag or Dtobag, the library check to see if obj is in the
       dictionary and delete it.  If obj is not in the dictionary, some object
       matching  it  will  be deleted.  See Dtdisc_t.freef for object destruc-
       tion.  dtdelete() returns the deleted object (even if  it  was  deallo-
       cated) or NULL on error.

     void* dtattach(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       This  function is similar to dtinsert() but obj itself will be inserted
       into dt even if a discipline function makef is defined.

     void* dtdetach(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       This function is similar to dtdelete() but the  object  to  be  deleted
       from dt will not be freed (via the discipline freef function).

     void* dtsearch(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
     void* dtmatch(Dt_t* dt, void* key)
       These  functions  find  an object matching obj or key either from dt or
       from some dictionary accessible from dt via a viewpath (see  dtview().)
       dtsearch() and dtmatch() return the matching object or NULL on failure.

     void* dtfirst(Dt_t* dt)
     void* dtnext(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       dtfirst()  returns the first object in dt.  dtnext() returns the object
       following obj.  Objects are ordered based on the storage method in use.
       For  Dtoset and Dtobag, objects are ordered by object comparisons.  For
       Dtstack, objects are  ordered  in  reverse  order  of  insertion.   For
       Dtqueue,  objects  are  ordered  in  order  of  insertion.  For Dtlist,
       objects are ordered by list position.  For Dtset and Dtbag, objects are
       ordered  by  some internal order (more below).  Thus, objects in a dic-
       tionary or a viewpath can be walked using a for(;;) loop as below.
           for(obj = dtfirst(dt); obj; obj = dtnext(dt,obj))
       When a dictionary uses Dtset or Dtbag, the object order  is  determined
       upon  a  call to dtfirst()/dtlast().  This order is frozen until a call
       dtnext()/dtprev() returns NULL or when these same functions are  called
       with a NULL object argument.  It is important that a dtfirst()/dtlast()
       call be balanced by a  dtnext()/dtprev()  call  as  described.   Nested
       loops  will require multiple balancing, once per loop.  If loop balanc-
       ing is not done carefully, either performance is degraded or unexpected
       behaviors may result.

     void* dtlast(Dt_t* dt)
     void* dtprev(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       dtlast()  and  dtprev()  are  like  dtfirst()  and dtnext() but work in
       reverse order.  Note that dictionaries on a viewpath are  still  walked
       in order but objects in each dictionary are walked in reverse order.

     void* dtfinger(Dt_t* dt)
       This  function  returns  the current object of dt, if any.  The current
       object is defined  after  a  successful  call  to  one  of  dtsearch(),
       dtmatch(),  dtinsert(), dtfirst(), dtnext(), dtlast(), or dtprev().  As
       a side effect of this implementation of Cdt, when a dictionary is based
       on  Dtoset  and Dtobag, the current object is always defined and is the
       root of the tree.

     void* dtrenew(Dt_t* dt, void* obj)
       This function repositions and perhaps rehashes an object obj after  its
       key  has  been  changed.   dtrenew()  only  works if obj is the current
       object (see dtfinger()).

     dtwalk(Dt_t* dt, int (*userf)(Dt_t*, void*, void*), void* data)
       This function calls (*userf)(walk,obj,data) on each object  in  dt  and
       other dictionaries viewable from it.  walk is the dictionary containing
       obj.  If userf() returns a <0 value, dtwalk()  terminates  and  returns
       the same value.  dtwalk() returns 0 on completion.

     Dtlink_t* dtflatten(Dt_t* dt)
     Dtlink_t* dtlink(Dt_t* dt, Dtlink_t* link)
     void* dtobj(Dt_t* dt, Dtlink_t* link)
       Using  dtfirst()/dtnext() or dtlast()/dtprev() to walk a single dictio-
       nary can incur significant cost due to function calls.   For  efficient
       walking  of  a single directory (i.e., no viewpathing), dtflatten() and
       dtlink() can be used.  Objects in dt are made into a  linked  list  and
       walked as follows:
           for(link = dtflatten(dt); link; link = dtlink(dt,link) )

       Note that dtflatten() returns a list of type Dtlink_t*, not void*. That
       is, it returns a dictionary holder pointer, not a user  object  pointer
       (although both are the same if the discipline field link is zero.)  The
       macro function dtlink() returns the dictionary holder object  following
       link.   The macro function dtobj(dt,link) returns the user object asso-
       ciated with link, Beware that the flattened object list is  unflattened
       on any dictionary operations other than dtlink().

     Dtlink_t* dtextract(Dt_t* dt)
     int dtrestore(Dt_t* dt, Dtlink_t* link)
       dtextract()  extracts  all  objects  from dt and makes it appear empty.
       dtrestore() repopulates dt with objects previously obtained  via  dtex-
       tract().   dtrestore()  will  fail if dt is not empty.  These functions
       can be used to share a same dt handle among many sets of objects.  They
       are useful to reduce dictionary overhead in an application that creates
       many concurrent dictionaries.  It is important that the same discipline
       and  method  are  in use at both extraction and restoration. Otherwise,
       undefined behaviors may result.

     #define   DTTREESEARCH(Dt_t* dt, void* obj, action)
     #define   DTTREEMATCH(Dt_t* dt, void* key, action)
       These macro functions are analogues of  dtsearch()  and  dtmatch()  but
       they  can  only  be used on a dictionary based on a binary search tree,
       i.e., Dtoset or Dtobag.

       obj or key:
              These are used to find a matching object. If there is no  match,
              the result is NULL.

       action:
              The  matching  object o (which may be NULL) will be processed as
              follow:

                  action (o);

              Since action is used verbatim, it can be  any  C  code  fragment
              combinable with (o) to form a syntactically correct C statement.
              For example, suppose that the matching object is an integer, the
              below code accumulates the integer value in a variable total:

                  DTTREEMATCH(dt, key, total += (int));


   DICTIONARY INFORMATION
     Dt_t* dtvnext(Dt_t* dt)
       This returns the dictionary that dt is viewing, if any.

     int dtvcount(Dt_t* dt)
       This returns the number of dictionaries that view dt.

     Dt_t* dtvhere(Dt_t* dt)
       This  returns  the  dictionary  v  viewable from dt where an object was
       found from the most recent search or walk operation.

     int dtsize(Dt_t* dt)
       This function returns the number of objects stored in dt.

     int dtstat(Dt_t *dt, Dtstat_t* st, int all)
       This function reports dictionary statistics.  If all is  non-zero,  all
       fields  of  st  are  filled.   Otherwise,  only the dt_type and dt_size
       fields are filled.  It returns 0 on success and -1 on error.

       Dtstat_t contains the below fields:

       int dt_type:
              This is  one  of  DT_SET,  DT_BAG,  DT_OSET,  DT_OBAG,  DT_LIST,
              DT_STACK, and DT_QUEUE.

       int dt_size:
              This contains the number of objects in the dictionary.

       int dt_n:
              For  Dtset  and Dtbag, this is the number of non-empty chains in
              the hash table.  For Dtoset and  Dtobag,  this  is  the  deepest
              level  in the tree (counting from zero.)  Each level in the tree
              contains all nodes of equal distance from the root  node.   dt_n
              and the below two fields are undefined for other methods.

       int dt_max:
              For  Dtbag  and Dtset, this is the size of a largest chain.  For
              Dtoset and Dtobag, this is the size of a largest level.

       int* dt_count:
              For Dtset and Dtbag, this is the list of counts  for  chains  of
              particular  sizes.   For  example,  dt_count[1] is the number of
              chains of size 1.  For Dtoset and Dtobag, this is  the  list  of
              sizes  of  the  levels.  For example, dt_count[1] is the size of
              level 1.

   HASH FUNCTIONS
     unsigned int dtcharhash(unsigned int h, char c)
     unsigned int dtstrhash(unsigned int h, char* str, int n)
       These  functions  compute  hash   values   from   bytes   or   strings.
       dtcharhash()  computes  a  new hash value from byte c and seed value h.
       dtstrhash() computes a new hash value from string str and seed value h.
       If  n is positive, str is a byte array of length n; otherwise, str is a
       null-terminated string.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
       Dtset and Dtbag are based on hash tables with  move-to-front  collision
       chains.   Dtoset and Dtobag are based on top-down splay trees.  Dtlist,
       Dtstack and Dtqueue are based on doubly linked list.
