114
115        * src/key-list.cc (Output_Compare_Strncmp::output_comparison):
116          After the call to strncmp, verify that expr2 is not longer than
117          `len'.

119
120        * src/key-list.cc (Key_List::output_lookup_function_body): Avoid

197
198        * doc/Makefile.in (gperf.dvi, clean): Remove gperf.cps.
199          (install, installdirs, uninstall): Don't install gperf.dvi. The
200          info and HTML documentations are sufficient for on-line use, and
201          users who wish to print the documentation (in PS or DVI format)
202          can do this directly off the source distribution.
203          (DVIPS): Use "-D600" instead of "-Pljfour", for portability.
204
2051998-05-20  Akim Demaille  <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
206
207        * doc/gperf.texi: Many modifications:

210          (Title page): Use standard presentation.
211          (Top): Use @top instead of @unnumbered so that automatic master
212          update works.
213          (Motivation): Avoid spaces in @var.
214          (Options): Use the standard name ``Invoking ...''.
215          (Options): Declare also the long form of the options.
216          (Options): Remove redundant @itemize when @table is used.
217
2181998-05-08  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
219

221          ac_cv_path_install.
222
223Sat May  2 13:20:54 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
224
225        * gperf-2.7 released.
226
227Sat May  2 12:31:51 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
228
229        * src/version.cc (version_string): Remove the "(C++ version)" suffix.
230          It's redundant: the early C versions of gperf are called cperf.
231          Reported by Karl Berry.
232        * src/option.cc (Options::operator()): Trim the output of "gperf -v".
233
234Thu Apr 16 13:22:16 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
235
236        * lib/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Don't use $(TARGET_ARCH).
237          Solaris "make" sets it to a value not understood by "cc".
238
239Wed Apr 15 23:52:14 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
240
241        * lib/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Don't use implicit rules. Don't
242          use $<. AIX "make" and OSF/1 "make" have problems with both.
243        * src/gen-perf.cc, src/key-list.cc: Cast free() argument to char*,
244          otherwise it doesn't compile on SunOS 4.
245        * src/key-list.h: Declare structs outside of other declarations,
246          needed for OSF/1 cxx 5.5.
247        * lib/getopt.h: Use prototypes if __STDC__ || __cplusplus.
248          Don't give a prototype for getopt(), to avoid error on SunOS 4.
249        * lib/getopt.c: Declare strncmp, to avoid warnings.
250
251Tue Apr 14 23:24:07 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
252
253        * lib/GetOpt.{h,cc}: Remove files.
254        * lib/getopt.{h,c}, lib/getopt1.c: New files, from GNU libc.
255        * lib/configure.in (AC_INIT): Search for hash.cc, not GetOpt.cc.
256        * lib/Makefile.in (OBJECTS): Remove GetOpt.o, add getopt.o, getopt1.o.
257          (getopt.o, getopt1.o, hash.o): Use explicit building rules. Some
258          "make"s don't support to have both implicit rules for "%.o : %.c"
259          and "%.o : %.cc" in the same Makefile.
260        * lib/hash.{h,cc}: Remove #pragma; there are no templates here.
261        * src/option.h (Options::usage): Remove.
262          (Options::short_usage, Options::long_usage): Declare.
263        * src/option.cc (Options::usage): Remove.
264          (Options::short_usage, Options::long_usage): New functions.
265          (long_options): New array.
266          (Options::operator()): Use getopt_long instead of GetOpt::operator(),
267          change all references to GetOpt members.
268
269        * src/std-err.{h,cc}: Remove files.
270        * src/gen-perf.cc, src/key-list.cc, list-node.cc, new.cc, options.cc:
271          Call fprintf(stderr) instead of Std_Err::report_error().
272        * src/key-list.h, src/list-node.h, src/options.h: Don't use class
273          Std_Err any more.
274        * src/option.cc (program_name): New variable.
275        * src/Makefile.in: Remove STD_ERR_H.
276          (OBJECTS): Remove std-err.o.
277
278Mon Mar 23 01:03:35 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
279
280        * aclocal.m4, {lib,src,tests}/configure.in: Remove CL_CC_WORKS and
281          CL_CXX_WORKS, already contained in autoconf 2.12.
282
283        * src/gen-perf.cc, src/key-list.cc: Move some code from
284          Gen_Perf::Gen_Perf() to Key_List::output().
285        * src/Makefile.in: Update dependencies.
286
287        * src/options.{h,cc}: Remove option "-p".
288        * src/key-list.cc (Key_List::set_output_types): Rewrite.
289          (default_array_type, default_return_type): Remove.
290        * src/key-list.cc: Adjust "const" handling.
291          + With option "-t" [TYPE], don't emit wrong code if there is no
292            space before the struct's opening brace.
293
294Sun Mar 22 16:59:15 1998  Bruno Haible  <bruno@linuix.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de>
295
296        * src/key-list.{h,cc}: Completely reorganized the output routines.
297          Rewrote from scratch the output_switch() function. Use classes
298          (Output_Constants, Output_Expr, Output_Compare) for abstraction.
299          In particular:
300          + Don't emit trailing whitespace and spurious blank lines.
301          + Adjust indentation of the arrays.
302          + Don't emit commas at the end of array initializers and
303            struct initializers.
304          + With option "-l" [LENTABLE], compare the length before
305            fetching the word from memory.
306          + With option "-S" [SWITCH], emit the comparison code just once,
307            not once in every switch statement.
308          + With option "-S" [SWITCH], choose the right switch statement
309            through a binary search, not a linear search.
310          + With option "-S" [SWITCH], emit straightforward comparisons
311            instead of switch statements with just one "case" label.
312          + With options "-S -p -t" [SWITCH, POINTER, TYPE], don't emit
313            spurious empty elements at the beginning of the wordlist array.
314          + With option "-D" [DUP] and not option "-S" [SWITCH], if there
315            is no more room for duplicate entries in the lookup array,
316            don't call `assert (i != 0)'. Instead, make the array larger :-)
317          + With option "-D" [DUP], if there are no duplicates, don't
318            automatically fall back to the non-"-D" algorithm. If the user
319            wants the non-"-D" algorithm, he can just not specify "-D".
320          + With option "-D" [DUP] and either options "-p -t" [POINTER, TYPE]
321            or not option "-S" [SWITCH], don't emit spurious empty elements
322            at the beginning of the wordlist array.
323          + With option "-D" [DUP], simplify the detection and processing
324            of duplicate entries in the lookup array.
325          + With options "-D -l" [DUP, LENTABLE] and not option "-S" [SWITCH],
326            don't forget to emit the lengthtable array.

332
333        * src/options.cc: Don't use `errno' after freopen failed.
334        * src/std-err.cc: `report_error' doesn't call strerror(errno) any
335          more. No need to include <string.h> and <errno.h>.
336
337        * tests/Makefile.in (check-*): Any difference between .exp and .out

343
344        * tests/jscript.gperf: Renamed from tests/javascript.gperf, because
345          of Minix and SVR2 14-character filename limit.
346        * src/key-list.cc (output_string): New function.
347          (Key_List::output_switch, Key_List::output_keyword_table): Call it.
348

354        Patch from William Bader <wbader@CSEE.Lehigh.Edu>.
355
356        * src/version.cc: Bump version number directly from 2.5 to 2.7,
357          because Schmidt's last release from 1991 carries version number 2.6.

359Tue Jul 30 00:02:39 1991  Douglas C. Schmidt  (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
360
361        * Fixed a small bug in the Key_List::output_keyword_table routine
362          that caused an extra newline to be printed if there where no
363          leading blank entries... (who cares, right?!)
364
365Mon Jul 29 22:05:40 1991  Douglas C. Schmidt  (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
366
367        * Modified the handling of the -E (emit enums rather than
368          #defines) option in conjunction with the -G option.  Now, if -G
369          and -E are given the enums are generated outside the lookup
370          function, rather than within it!

372Mon Apr  8 18:17:04 1991  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at net4.ics.uci.edu)
373
374        * Yucko, there was a bug in the handling of -c (and of course the
375          new -I command in key-list.cc).  Apparently when I added the
376          super-duper hack that provided support for duplicate keys I
377          forgot to update the strcmp output...

436        * src/list-node.{h,cc}: Change type of `List_Node::key',

440        * src/read-line.h: Don't use BUFSIZ.

585
586	Changes (mostly from Peter Schauer) to permit compilation
587	using cfront 3.0 and otherwise be ARM-conforming.
588	* src/key-list.h:  class Key_List must use public derivation
589	of base class Std_Err (because Gen_Perf::operator() in gen-perf.cc

644	* key-list.{h,cc}, options.{h,cc}, vectors.h:  Removed all
645	uses of initialized const fields, as they are non-standard
646	- and their use was easy to do away with.  Mostly, just
647	made the constants static non-fields in the .cc file.
648
649Mon Nov  2 13:10:11 1992  Per Bothner  (bothner@cygnus.com)
650
651	* tests/Makefile.in:  When generating cinset.c, don't pass -C,

680	* src/gen-perf.cc:  Replace USG -> _G_SYSV.
681
682Thu May 14 13:58:36 1992  Per Bothner  (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)
683
684	* src/Makefile.in:  Don't pass obsolete flag -DUNLIMIT_STACK.
685	* tests/Makefile.in (clean): Fix.
686
687Sat Mar  7 00:03:56 1992  K. Richard Pixley  (rich@rtl.cygnus.com)
688
689	* gperf.texinfo: added menu item hook.
690
691Wed Feb 26 18:04:40 1992  K. Richard Pixley  (rich@cygnus.com)
692
693	* Makefile.in, configure.in: removed traces of namesubdir,
694	  -subdirs, $(subdir), $(unsubdir), some rcs triggers.  Forced
695	  copyrights to '92, changed some from Cygnus to FSF.
696
697Sun Jan 26 19:21:58 1992  Per Bothner  (bothner at cygnus.com)
698
699	* tests/Makefile.in:  Use re-directed stdin instead of file
700	name in argv.  This allows us to remove the filename
701	from the output, the expected output, and hence the diffs.
702	(Note that the input file is in $(srcdir), which we cannot
703	place in the expected out files.)
704	* tests/expected.out.[1235]:  Edit out input filename,
705	to match new output.
706
707Thu Jun 28 16:17:27 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at brilliant)
708
709	* Wow, first fix on the new job!  There was a dumb error
710	  in Key_List::output_lookup_function, where I printed the
711	  string "&wordlist[key]" instead of the correct "&wordlist[index]".
712	  
713	* Added a couple of #ifdefs for USG support.
714	  	
715Sun Jun  3 17:16:36 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
716
717        * Updated the version number to 2.5 and sent to Doug Lea for release
718          with the latest GNU libg++.
719
720        * Changed the error handling when a keyword file cannot be opened
721          (now calls perror).
722
723Wed May 30 14:49:40 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
724
725        * Instrumented the source code with trace statements automagically
726          inserted using my new automated trace instrumentation tool!
727
728Wed May  9 11:47:41 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
729
730        * Really fixed the previous bug.  Turns out that a small amount
731          of logic had to be duplicated to handle static links that occur
732          as part of dynamic link chains.  What a pain!!!
733
734Tue May  8 23:11:44 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
735
736        * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_array that was
737          causing incorrect counts to be generated when there were both
738          static and dynamic links occurring for the same hash value.
739          Also simplified the code that performs the logic in this routine.
740
741Mon Apr 30 17:37:24 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
742
743        * Fixed stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_array that was
744          making the generated lookup[] array contain `chars' even
745          when the values stored in the chars are greater than 127!
746
747        * Changed the behavior of the -G (global table) option so that it
748          will output the `length[]' array in the global scope along with
749          the `word_list[]' array.
750
751        * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::output_lookup_function that
752          would always output the complicated `duplicate-handling' lookup
753          logic, even when there were no duplicates in the input!
754
755        * Yikes, had to modify a bunch of stuff in key-list.cc to correctly
756          handle duplicate entries.  Changed the generated code so that
757          the MIN_HASH_VALUE is no longer subtracted off when calculating
758          the hash value for a keyword.  This required changing some other
759          code by substituting MAX_HASH_VALUE for TOTAL_KEYS in several places.
760          Finally, this means that the generated tables may contain leading 
761          null entries, but I suppose it is better to trade-off space to get 
762          faster performance...
763
764Mon Mar 26 13:08:43 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
765
766        * Updated version number to 2.4 to reflect the latest changes.
767
768        * Changed the main program so that it always prints out gperf's
769          execution timings to the generated output file.
770          
771Sun Mar 25 12:39:30 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
772
773        * Added the -Z option so that users can specify the name of the
774          generated class explicitly.  Updated documentation to reflect
775          this change.
776          
777        * Modified the generated C++ class interface so that the functions
778          are declared static (to remove the overhead of passing the `this'
779          pointer).  This means that operator()() can no longer be used,
780          since it only works on non-static member functions.
781          Also changed things so that there is no constructor (why waste
782          the extra call, when it doesn't do anything, eh?)
783
784        * Modified the behavior of Key_List::output when the -L C++ option
785          is enabled.  Previously the code generated use const data members
786          to record MIN_WORD_LENGTH, MIN_HASH_VALUE, etc.  However, as
787          pointed out by James Clark this may result in suboptimal behavior
788          on the part of C++ compilers that can't inline these values.
789          Therefore, the new behavior is identical to what happens with
790          -L C, i.e., either #defines or function-specific enums are used.
791          Why sacrifice speed for some abstract notion of `code purity?' ;-)
792
793Tue Mar  6 18:17:42 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
794
795        * Added the -E option that defines constant values using an enum
796          local to the lookup function rather than with #defines.  This
797          also means that different lookup functions can reside in the
798          same file.  Thanks to James Clark (jjc@ai.mit.edu). 
799
800Sat Mar  3 20:19:00 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
801
802        * Added a special case to key_list::output_switch that doesn't
803          generate extra comparisons when the `-S' is given an argument
804          of 1 (the normal case).  This should speed up the generated
805          code output a tad...
806
807Fri Feb 23 14:21:28 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
808
809        * Renamed all instances of member function get_keysig_size
810          to get_max_keysig_size, since this is more precise...
811
812        * Changed all occurrences of charset to keysig (stands for ``key
813          signature'') to reflect the new naming convention used in the 
814          USENIX paper.
815
816Thu Feb 22 11:28:36 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
817
818        * Changed the name of the generated associated values table from
819          asso_value to asso_values to reflect conventions in the USENIX
820          C++ paper.
821
822Thu Feb 15 23:29:03 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
823
824        * Updated the gperf.texinfo file to fix some formatting problems
825          that had crept in since last time.
826
827Wed Feb 14 23:27:24 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
828
829        * Fixed stupid bug in key-list.cc (get_special_input), wher
830          gperf replaced each '%' with the succeeding character.
831
832        * Added support for multiple target language generation.  Currently
833          handled languages are C and C++, with C as the default.  Updated
834          documentation and option handler to reflect the changes.
835
836        * Added a global destructor to new.cc and removed the #ifdef, since
837          the bloody thing now works with libg++.
838
839Mon Feb 14 13:00:00 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
840
841        * Found out that my gperf paper was accepted at the upcoming
842          USENIX C++ Conference in San Francisco.  Yow!
843
844Tue Jan 30 09:00:29 1990  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
845
846        * #ifdef'd out the new.cc memory allocator, since there are
847          problems with this and the libg++ stuff.
848
849        * Changed key-list.h so that class Vectors is a public (rather
850          than private) base class for class Key_List.  The previous
851          form was illegal C++, but wasn't being caught by the old
852          g++ compiler.  Should work now... ;-)
853
854Sun Dec 10 14:08:23 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
855
856        * Added several changes from rfg@ics.uci.edu.  These changes
857          help to automate the build process.
858
859Wed Nov 15 15:49:33 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
860
861        * Removed conditional compilation for GATHER_STATISTICS.  There's
862          really no good reason to avoid collecting this info at run-time,
863          since that section of code is *hardly* the bottleneck... ;-)
864
865        * Simplified the C output routines in Key_List::set_output_types
866          and Key_List::output_keyword_table a bit in order to
867          speed-up and clean up the code generation.
868
869        * Modified function Key_List::get_special_input so that it does
870          not try to `delete' a buffer that turned out to be too short.
871          This is important since the new memory management scheme
872          does not handle deletions.  However, adding a small amount of
873          garbage won't hurt anything, since we generally don't do this
874          operation more than a couple times *at most*!
875
876        * Created a new file (new.cc) which includes my own overloaded
877          operator new.  This function should dramatically reduce the
878          number of calls to malloc since it grabs large chunks and
879          doles them out in small pieces.  As a result of this change
880          the class-specific `operator new' was removed from class List_Node.
881
882Tue Nov 14 21:45:30 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
883
884        * Continued to refine the great hack.  The latest trick is to
885          try and replace most uses of dynamic memory (i.e., calls to
886          new) with uses of gcc dynamic arrays (i.e., an alloca solution).
887          This makes life much easier for the overall process-size, since 
888          it reduces the amount of overhead for memory management.  As a
889          side-effect from this change there is no reason to have the
890          Bool_Array::dispose member function, so it's outta here!
891
892        * Fixed a stupid bug that was an disaster waiting to happen...
893          Instead of making the boolean array large enough to index
894          max_hash_value it was only large enough to index max_hash_value
895          - 1.  Once again, an off-by-one mistake in C/C++!!!!
896
897Mon Nov 13 19:38:27 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
898
899        * Added the final great hack!  This allows us to generate hash tables
900          for near-perfect hash functions that contain duplicates, *without*
901          having to use switch statements!  Since many compilers die on large
902          switch statements this feature is essential.  Furthermore, it appears
903          that the generated code is often *smaller* than that put out by
904          compilers, even though a large, sparse array must be created.
905          Here's the general idea:
906
907             a. Generate the wordlist as a contiguous block of keywords, 
908                just as before when using a switch statement.  This
909                wordlist *must* be sorted by hash value. 
910
911             b. Generate the lookup array, which is an array of signed
912                {chars,shorts,ints}, (which ever allows full coverage of
913                the wordlist dimensions).  If the value v, where v =
914                lookup[hash(str,len)], is >= 0 and < TOTAL_KEYWORDS, then we
915                simply use this result as a direct access into the wordlist 
916                array to snag the keyword for comparison.  
917
918             c. Otherwise, if v is < -TOTAL_KEYWORDS or > TOTAL_KEYWORDS
919                this is an indication that we'll need to search through
920                some number of duplicates hash values.  Using a hash
921                linking scheme we'd then index into a different part of
922                the hash table that provides the starting index and total
923                length of the duplicate entries to find via linear search!
924
925Sun Nov 12 13:48:10 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
926
927        * Simplified Key_List::output_min_max considerably by recognizing
928          that since the keyword list was already sorted by hash value finding 
929          the min and max values is trivial!
930
931        * Improved the debugging diagnostics considerably in classes Key_List,
932          Hash_Table, and Gen_Perf.
933
934        * Modified the `-s' option so that a negative argument is now 
935          interpreted to mean `allow the maximum associated value to be
936          about x times *smaller* than the number of input keys.'  This
937          should help prevent massive explosion of generated hash table
938          size for large keysets.
939
940Sat Nov 11 11:31:13 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
941
942        * Added a field in class Key_List that counts the total number
943          of duplicate keywords, both static and dynamic.
944
945        * Added a new member function Bool_Array that deletes the dynamic
946          memory allocated to Bool_Array::storage_array.  This space may
947          be needed for subsequent options, so it made sense to free it as
948          soon as possible...
949          
950        * Renamed file/class Alpha_Vectors to Vectors, to avoid problems
951          with 14 character length filenames on SYSV.  Also changed file
952          adapredefined.gperf to adadefs.gperf in the ./tests directory.
953
954        * Modified class Options by changing the member function
955          Options::total_positions to Options::get_charset_size and
956          Options::set_charset_size.  These two routines now either return
957          the total charset size *or* the length of the largest keyword
958          if the user specifies the -k'*' (ALLCHARS) option.  This change
959          cleans up client code.
960
961        * Merged all the cperf changes into gperf.
962        
963        * Made sure to explicitly initialize perfect.fewest_collisions to
964          0.
965
966        * Cleaned up some loose ends noticed by Nels Olson.
967          1.  Removed `if (collisions <= perfect.fewest_collisions)'
968              from Gen_Perf::affects_prev since it was superfluous.
969          2.  Removed the fields best_char_value and best_asso_value
970              from Gen_Perf.  There were also unnecessary.
971          3.  Fixed a braino in the Bool_Array::bool_array_reset
972              function.  Since iteration numbers can never be zero
973              the `if (bool_array.iteration_number++ == 0)' must be
974              `if (++bool_array.iteration_number == 0).'
975          4.  Modified Std_Err::report_error so that it correctly handles
976              "%%".
977
978        * It is important to note that -D no longer enables -S.
979          There is a good reason for this change, which will become
980          manifested in the next release... (suspense!).
981
982        * Made some subtle changes to Key_List::print_switch so that if finally
983          seems to work correctly.  Needs more stress testing, however...
984
985        * Made a major change to the Key_List::print_switch function.
986          The user can now specify the number of switch statements to generate
987          via an argument to the -S option, i.e., -S1 means `generate 1
988          switch statement with all keywords in it,' -S2 means generate
989          2 switch statements with 1/2 the elements in each one, etc.
990          Hopefully this will fix the problem with C compilers not being
991          able to generate code for giant switch statements (but don't
992          hold your breath!)
993
994        * Changed Key_List::length function to Key_List::keyword_list_length.
995
996        * Added a feature to main.c that prints out the starting wall-clock
997          time before the program begins and prints out the ending wall-clock
998          time when the program is finished.
999
1000        * Added the GATHER_STATISTICS code in hash-table.c so we can
1001          keep track of how well double hashing is doing.  Eventually,
1002          GATHER_STATISTICS will be added so that all instrumentation
1003          code can be conditionally compiled in.
1004
1005        * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::print_switch routine.  This
1006          was necessary to make sure the generated switch statement worked
1007          correctly when *both* `natural,' i.e., static links and dynamic
1008          links, i.e., unresolved duplicates, hash to the same value.
1009
1010        * Modified Bool_Array::~Bool_Array destructor so that
1011          it now frees the bool_array.storage_array when it is no longer
1012          needed.  Since this array is generally very large it makes sense
1013          to return the memory to the freelist when it is no longer in use.
1014
1015        * Changed the interface to constructor Hash_Table::Hash_Table.  This 
1016          constructor now passed a pointer to a power-of-two sized buffer that 
1017          serve as storage for the hash table.  Although this weakens information
1018          hiding a little bit it greatly reduces dynamic memory fragmentation,
1019          since we can now obtain the memory via a call to alloca, rather
1020          than malloc.  This change modified Key_List::read_keys calling
1021          interface.
1022
1023        * Since alloca is now being used more aggressively a conditional
1024          compilation section was added in main.c. Taken from GNU GCC,
1025          this code gets rid of any avoidable limit on stack size so that
1026          alloca does not fail.  It is only used if the -DRLIMIT_STACK
1027          symbol is defined when gperf is compiled. 
1028
1029        * Added warnings in option.c so that user's would be informed
1030          that -r superceeds -i on the command-line.
1031          
1032        * Rewrote Gen_Perf::affects_prev.  First, the code structure
1033          was cleaned up considerably (removing the need for a dreaded
1034          goto!).  Secondly, a major change occurred so that Gen_Perf::affects_prev
1035          returns FALSE (success) when fewest_hits gets down to whatever
1036          it was after inserting the previous key (instead of waiting for
1037          it to reach 0).  In other words, it stops trying if it can
1038          resolve the new collisions added by a key, even if there are
1039          still other old, unresolved collisions.  This modification was
1040          suggested by Nels Olson and seems to *greatly* increase the
1041          speed of gperf for large keyfiles.  Thanks Nels!
1042
1043        * In a similar vein, inside the Gen_Perf::change routine 
1044          the variable `perfect.fewest_collisions is no longer initialized
1045          with the length of the keyword list.  Instead it starts out at
1046          0 and is incremented by 1 every time change () is called.
1047          The rationale for this behavior is that there are times when a
1048          collision causes the number of duplicates (collisions) to
1049          increase by a large amount when it would presumably just have
1050          gone up by 1 if none of the asso_values were changed.  That is,
1051          at the beginning of change(), you could initialize fewest_hits
1052          to 1+(previous value of fewest_hits) instead of to the number of
1053          keys.  Thanks again, Nels.
1054
1055        * Replaced alloca with new in the Gen_Perf::change function.
1056          This should eliminate some overhead at the expense of a little
1057          extra memory that is never reclaimed.
1058
1059        * Renamed Gen_Perf::merge_sets to Gen_Perf::compute_disjoint_union
1060          to reflect the change in behavior.
1061
1062        * Added the -e option so users can supply a string containing
1063          the characters used to separate keywords from their attributes.
1064          The default behavior is ",\n".
1065
1066        * Removed the char *uniq_set field from LIST_NODE and modified
1067          uses of uniq_set in perfect.c and keylist.c.  Due to changes
1068          to Gen_Perf::compute_disjoint_sets this field was no longer
1069          necessary, and its removal makes the program smaller and
1070          potentially faster. 
1071          
1072        * Added lots of changes/fixes suggested by Nels Olson
1073          (umls.UUCP!olson@mis.ucsf.edu).  In particular:
1074          1.  Changed Bool_Array so that it would dynamically create
1075              an array of unsigned shorts rather than ints if the 
1076              LO_CAL symbol was defined during program compilation.
1077              This cuts the amount of dynamic memory usage in half,
1078              which is important for large keyfile input.
1079          2.  Added some additional debugging statements that print extra
1080              info to stderr when the -d option is enabled.
1081          3.  Fixed a really stupid bug in Key_List::print_switch
1082              A right paren was placed at the wrong location, which broke
1083              strlen ().
1084          4.  Fixed a subtle problem with printing case values when keylinks
1085              appear.  The logic failed to account for the fact that there
1086              can be keylinks *and* regular node info also!
1087          5.  Changed the behavior of Key_List::read_keys so that it would
1088              honor -D unequivocally, i.e., it doesn't try to turn off dup
1089              handling if the user requests it, even if there are no
1090              immediate links in the keyfile input. 
1091          6.  Modified the -j option so that -j 0 means `try random values
1092              when searching for a way to resolve collisions.'
1093          7.  Added a field `num_done' to the Gen_Perf struct.  This is used
1094              to report information collected when trying to resolve
1095              hash collisions.
1096          8.  Modified the merge_sets algorithm to perform a disjoint
1097              union of two multisets.  This ensures that subsequent
1098              processing in Gen_Perf::affect_prev doesn't
1099              waste time trying to change an associated value that is
1100              shared between two conflicting keywords.
1101          9.  Modified Gen_Perf::affects_prev so that it doesn't try
1102              random jump values unless the -j 0 option is enabled.
1103          10. Fixed a silly bug in Gen_Perf::change.  This problem caused
1104              gperf to seg fault when the -k* option was given and the
1105              keyfile file had long keywords.
1106        
1107Sun Oct 29 00:18:55 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1108
1109        * Modified class-specific new operations for Read_Line and
1110          List_Node so they don't fail if SIZE is larger than twice
1111          the previous buffer size.  Note we double buffer size
1112          everytime the previous buffer runs out, as a heuristic
1113          to reduce future calls to malloc.
1114
1115Sun Oct 22 13:49:43 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1116
1117        * Updated gperf version number to 2.0.  Send to Doug Lea for
1118          incorporation into the long-awaited `official' libg++ 1.36
1119          release! 
1120
1121        * Thanks to Nels Olson a silly bug in Gen_Perf::change ()
1122          was fixed.  This problem caused gperf to seg fault when
1123          the -k* option was given and the keyfile file had long
1124          keywords.
1125          
1126        * Modified Key_List::print_hash_function so that it output
1127          max_hash_value + 1 (rather than just max_hash_value) for
1128          any associated value entries that don't correspond to
1129          keyword charset characters.  This should speed up rejection
1130          of non-keyword strings a little in some cases.
1131
1132Sat Oct 21 19:28:36 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1133
1134        * Fixed Key_List::print_hash_function so that it no longer output
1135          things like `return 0 + ...'  Although this probably gets
1136          optimized away by even the worst C compilers there isn't any
1137          point tempting fate... ;-)
1138
1139        * Fixed class List_Node's constructor so that it wouldn't a priori
1140          refuse to consider trying to hash keys whose length is less
1141          than the smallest user-specified key position.  It turns out
1142          this is not a problem unless the user also specifies the -n
1143          (NOLENGTH) option, in which case such keys most likely
1144          don't have a prayer of being hashed correctly!
1145
1146        * Changed the name of the generated lookup table from `Hash_Table'
1147          to `asso_value' to be consistent with the gperf paper.
1148
1149Tue Oct 17 14:19:48 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1150
1151        * Added a flag GATHER_STATISTICS in the Makefile.  If defined
1152          during compilation this turns on certain collection facilities
1153          that track the performance of gperf during its execution.  In
1154          particular, I want to see how many collisions occur for the
1155          double hashing Hash_Table.
1156
1157        * Added a safety check so that we don't screw up if the total
1158          number of `resets' of the Bool_Array exceeds MAX_INT.  Since
1159          this number is around 2^31 it is unlikely that this would ever
1160          occur for most input, but why take the risk?
1161
1162        * Changed the behavior for the -a (ANSI) option so that the
1163          generated prototypes use int rather than size_t for the LEN 
1164          parameter.  It was too ugly having to #include <stddef.h> all
1165          over the place...
1166
1167Mon Oct 16 11:00:35 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1168
1169        * Continued to work on the gperf paper for the USENIX C++
1170          conference.  At some point this will be merged back into
1171          the gperf documentation...
1172
1173Sat Oct 14 20:29:43 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1174
1175        * Added a majorly neat hack to Bool_Array, suggested by rfg.
1176          The basic idea was to throw away the Ullman array technique.
1177          The Ullman array was used to remove the need to reinitialize all 
1178          the Bool_Array elements to zero everytime we needed to determine
1179          whether there were duplicate hash values in the keyword list.  
1180          The current trick uses an `iteration number' scheme, which takes
1181          about 1/3 the space and reduces the overall program running a 
1182          time by about 20 percent for large input!  The hack works as 
1183          follows:
1184          
1185          1. Dynamically allocation 1 boolean array of size k.
1186          2. Initialize the boolean array to zeros, and consider the first
1187             iteration to be iteration 1.
1188          2. Then on all subsequent iterations we `reset' the bool array by
1189             kicking the iteration count by 1. 
1190          3. When it comes time to check whether a hash value is currently
1191             in the boolean array we simply check its index location.  If
1192             the value stored there is *not* equal to the current iteration
1193             number then the item is clearly *not* in the set.  In that
1194             case we assign the iteration number to that array's index
1195             location for future reference.  Otherwise, if the item at
1196             the index location *is* equal to the iteration number we've
1197             found a duplicate.  No muss, no fuss!
1198             
1199Mon Oct  2 12:30:54 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1200
1201        * Changed some consts in options.h to enumerals, since g++
1202          doesn't seem to like them at the moment!
1203
1204Sat Sep 30 12:55:24 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1205
1206        * Fixed a stupid bug in Key_List::print_hash_function that manifested
1207          itself if the `-k$' option was given (i.e., only use the key[length]
1208          character in the hash function).
1209
1210        * Added support for the -C option.  This makes the contents of
1211          all generated tables `readonly'.
1212
1213        * Changed the handling of generated switches so that there is
1214          only one call to str[n]?cmp.  This *greatly* reduces the size of
1215          the generated assembly code on all compilers I've seen.
1216
1217        * Fixed a subtle bug that occurred when the -l and -S option
1218          was given.  Code produced looked something like:
1219
1220          if (len != key_len || !strcmp (s1, resword->name)) return resword;
1221
1222          which doesn't make any sense.  Clearly, this should be:
1223
1224          if (len == key_len && !strcmp (s1, resword->name)) return resword;
1225
1226Tue Sep 26 10:36:50 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1227
1228        * Changed class Read_Line's definition so that it no longer
1229          needs to know about the buffering scheme used to speed up 
1230          dynamic memory allocation of input keywords and their
1231          associated attributes.  This means that operator new is no longer
1232          a friend of Read_Line.
1233
1234Mon Sep 25 23:17:10 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1235
1236        * Decided that Obstacks had too much overhead, so they were
1237          removed in favor of super-efficient, low-overhead buffered
1238          storage allocation hacks in Read_Line and List_Node.
1239
1240        * No longer try to inline functions that g++ complains about
1241          (Key_List::Merge and Key_List::Merge_Sort).
1242
1243Sun Sep 24 13:11:24 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1244
1245        * Changed classes Read_Line and List_Node to use Obstacks in order
1246          to cache memory allocation for keyword strings and List_Nodes.
1247          
1248        * Continued to experiment with inheritance schemes.
1249        
1250        * Added a new file `alpha.h', that declares static data shared
1251          (i.e., inherited) between classes List_Node and Key_List.
1252
1253Tue Sep 12 16:14:41 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1254
1255        * Made numerous changes to incorporate multiple inheritance in 
1256          gperf.
1257
1258Wed Aug 16 23:04:08 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1259
1260        * Added the -DCOMPILER_FIXED flag to the ./src/Makefile.  This
1261          implies that people trying to compile gperf need to have a
1262          working version of the new g++ compiler (1.36.0).
1263
1264        * Removed some extra spaces that were being added in the generated
1265          C code.
1266
1267Mon Jul 24 17:09:46 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1268
1269        * Fixed PRINT_HASH_FUNCTION and PRINT_LOOKUP_FUNCTION in keylist.c
1270          so that the generated functions take an unsigned int length argument.
1271          If -a is enabled the prototype is (const char *str, size_t len).
1272
1273Fri Jul 21 13:06:15 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1274
1275        * Fixed a typo in PRINT_KEYWORD_TABLE in keylist.cc that prevented
1276          the indentation from working correctly.
1277
1278        * Fixed a horrible typo in PRINT_KEYWORD_TABLE in keylist.cc
1279          that prevented links from being printed correctly.
1280
1281Tue Jul 18 16:04:31 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1282
1283        * Fixed up readline.cc and readline.h so that they work OK
1284          with g++ compilers that aren't completely up-to-date.
1285          If symbol COMPILER_FIXED is defined then the behavior
1286          that works on my more recent version of g++ is enabled.
1287
1288Sun Jul  9 17:53:28 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1289
1290        * Changed the ./tests subdirectory Makefile so that it 
1291          uses $(CC) instead of gcc.
1292
1293Sun Jul  2 21:52:15 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1294
1295        * Fixed a number of subtle bugs that occurred when -S was
1296          combined with various and sundry options.
1297
1298        * Added the -G option, that makes the generated keyword table
1299          a global static variable, rather than hiding it inside
1300          the lookup function.  This allows other functions to directly
1301          access the contents in this table.
1302
1303        * Added the "#" feature, that allows comments inside the keyword
1304          list from the input file. Comment handling takes place in readline.c.  
1305          This simplifies the code and reduces the number of malloc calls.
1306          
1307        * Also added the -H option (user can give the name of the hash
1308          function) and the -T option (prevents the transfer of the type decl
1309          to the output file, which is useful if the type is already defined
1310          elsewhere).
1311
1312Thu Jun 22 20:39:39 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1313
1314        * Modified many classes so that they would inherit Std_Err as
1315          a base class.  This makes things more abstract...
1316
1317Fri Jun 16 14:23:00 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1318
1319        * Modified the -f (FAST) option.  This now takes an argument.
1320          The argument corresponds to the number of iterations used
1321          to resolve collisions.  -f 0 uses the length of the
1322          keyword list (which is what -f did before).  This makes
1323          life much easier when dealing with large keyword files.
1324
1325Tue Jun  6 17:53:27 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1326
1327        * Added the -c (comparison) option.  Enabling this
1328          will use the strncmp function for string comparisons.
1329          The default is to use strcmp.
1330
1331        * Fixed a typo in key_list.cc (PRINT_SWITCH).  This caused
1332          faulty C code to be generated when the -D, -p, and -t
1333          options were all enabled.
1334
1335Thu May 25 14:07:21 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1336
1337        * Once again, changed class Read_Line to overload global operator
1338          new.  Hopefully, this will work...!
1339
1340Sun May 21 01:51:45 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1341
1342        * Modified Key_List::print_hash_function () so that it properly
1343          formats the associated values in the hash table according to
1344          the maximum number of digits required to represent the largest
1345          value.
1346
1347        * Removed the named return value from class Hash_Table's
1348          operator (), since this causes a seg fault when -O is enabled.
1349          No sense tripping subtle g++ bugs if we don't have to.... ;-)
1350
1351        * Removed the operator new hack from Read_Line, since this seemed
1352          to create horrible bus error problems.
1353                    
1354        * Changed many class member functions and data members to be `static', 
1355          if they don't manipulate this!
1356          
1357Fri May 12 23:06:56 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1358
1359        * Changed class Std_Err to use static member functions, a la
1360          Ada or Modula 2.  This eliminates the need for an explicit
1361          error-handler class object.
1362
1363        * Added the ``named return value'' feature to Hash_Table::operator ()
1364          and Bool_Array::operator [], just for the heck of it.... ;-)
1365
1366        * Changed the previous hack in Read_Line so that we now use
1367          the overloaded global `new' instead of NEW_STRING!
1368
1369Wed May  3 17:36:55 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1370
1371        * Updated to version 1.7.  This reflects the recent major changes
1372          and the new C port.
1373
1374        * Modified the GNU getopt.cc routine to have a class-based interface.
1375
1376        * Fixed a typo in Perfect.cc ~Perfect that prevented the actual maximum
1377          hash table size from being printed (maybe the stream classes
1378          weren't so bad after all.... ;-).
1379
1380        * Added support for the -f option.  This generates the perfect
1381          hash function ``fast.''  It reduces the execution time of
1382          gperf, at the cost of minimizing the range of hash values.
1383
1384Tue May  2 16:23:29 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1385
1386        * Added an efficiency hack to Read_Line.  Instead of making
1387          a call to operator NEW (a.k.a. malloc) for each input string
1388          a new member function NEW_STRING stores a large buffer from
1389          which new strings are carved out, growing the buffer if
1390          necessary.  It might be useful to add this throughout the
1391          program....
1392
1393        * Removed all unnecessary calls to DELETE.  If the program is about
1394          to exit it is silly to waste time freeing memory.
1395
1396        * Added the GNU getopt program to the distribution.  This makes
1397          GPERF portable to systems that don't include getopt in libc.
1398          
1399        * Added a strcspn member to class Key_List.  This also increases
1400          portability.
1401
1402        * Added the get_include_src function from keylist.c as a member
1403          function in class Key_List.  Hopefully every function is 
1404          now associated with a class.  This aids abstraction and
1405          modularity.
1406
1407        * Ported gperf to C.  From now on both K&R C and GNU G++ versions
1408          will be supported.  There will be two ChangeLog files, one
1409          for each version of the program.
1410
1411Mon May  1 16:41:45 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1412
1413        * Fixed a bug with -k'*'.  This now prints out *all* the cases
1414          up to the length of the longest word in the keyword set.
1415
1416Sun Apr 30 12:15:25 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1417
1418        * Removed all use of the stream classes.  Too ugly, slow, and
1419          not handled by the c++-mode formatter....
1420
1421        * Modified the handling of links (i.e., keywords that have
1422          identical hash values as other keywords).  This should 
1423          speed up hash function generation for keyword sets with
1424          many duplicate entries.  The trick is to treat duplicate
1425          values as equivalence classes, so that each set of duplicate
1426          values is represented only once in the main list processing.
1427
1428        * Fixed some capitialization typos and indentations mistakes in 
1429          Key_List::print_hash_function.
1430
1431Sat Apr 29 12:04:03 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1432
1433        * Fixed a typo/logico in Key_List::print_switch that prevented
1434          the last keyword in the keyword list to be print out.  This
1435          requires further examination.....
1436
1437        * Fixed a stupid bug in List_Node::List_node.  If the -k'*' option
1438          was enabled the KEY_SET string wasn't getting terminated with
1439          '\0'!
1440
1441Fri Apr 28 12:38:35 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1442
1443        * Renamed strexp.h and strexp.cc to iterator.h and iterator.cc.
1444          Also changed the strexp class to iterator.  Continued to work
1445          on style...
1446
1447        * Updated the version number to 1.6.  This reflects all the 
1448          recent changes.
1449
1450Thu Apr 27 00:14:51 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1451
1452        * Added the -D option that properly handles keyword sets that
1453          contain duplicate hash values.
1454
1455        * Continued the stylistic changes.  Added the #pragma once
1456          directive to all the *.h files.  Removed all #defines and
1457          replaced them with static consts.  Also moved the key_sort
1458          routine from options.cc into the options class as a 
1459          member function.
1460
1461Mon Apr  3 13:26:55 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at zola.ics.uci.edu)
1462
1463        * Made massive stylistic changes to bring source code into
1464          conformance with GNU style guidelines.
1465
1466Thu Mar 30 23:28:45 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1467
1468        * Fixed up the output routines so that they generate code
1469          corresponding to the GNU style guidelines.
1470
1471Sat Mar 11 13:12:37 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1472
1473        * Fixed Stderr constructors so that they wouldn't try to
1474          use the base class initializer syntax for the static 
1475          class variable Program_Name.  G++ 1.34 is stricter in
1476          enforcing the rules!
1477
1478Fri Mar 10 11:24:14 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1479
1480        * Removed -v and ``| more'' from the Makefile to keep rfg happy...
1481
1482Thu Mar  2 12:37:30 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1483
1484        * Sent latest GNU gperf version 1.5 to Doug Lea for inclusion
1485          into libg++ 1.34.  Note that there is a small bug with
1486          the new %{ ... %} source inclusion facility, since it doesn't
1487          understand comments and will barf if %{ or %} appear nested
1488          inside the outermost delimiters.  This is too trivial of
1489          a defect to fix at the moment...
1490
1491Tue Feb 28 11:19:58 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1492
1493        * Added the -K option, which allows the user to provide a
1494          alternative name for the keyword structure component.
1495          The default is still ``name.''
1496
1497        * Added the LEX and YACC-like ability to include arbitrary
1498          text at the beginning of the generated C source code output.
1499          This required two new functions Get_Special_Input, 
1500          Key_List::Save_Include_Src;
1501
1502        * Fixed memory allocation bug in Key_List::Set_Types.
1503          Variable Return_Type needs 1 additional location
1504          to store the "*" if the -p option is used.
1505          
1506        * Added code to NULL terminate both Struct_Tag and Return_Type,
1507          *after* the strncpy (stupid mistake).
1508          
1509Mon Feb 27 14:39:51 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1510
1511        * Added a new option -N.  This allows the user to specify the
1512          name to be used for the generated lookup function.  The
1513          default name is still ``in_word_set.''  This makes it
1514          possible to completely automate the perfect hash function
1515          generation process!
1516
1517Mon Feb 20 23:33:14 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1518
1519        * Corrected the Hash_Table::operator () function so that
1520          *it* is responsible for deciding when a new key has the
1521          same signature as a previously seen key.  The key length 
1522          information is now used internally to this function to
1523          decide whether to add to the hash table those keys with
1524          the same key sets, but different lengths.  Before, this
1525          was handled by the Key_List::Read_Keys function.  However,
1526          this failed to work for certain duplicate keys, since
1527          they weren't being entered into the hash table properly.
1528
1529Sun Feb 19 16:02:51 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1530
1531        * Modified class Options by moving the enum Option_Type out
1532          of the class.  This is to satisfy the new enumeration
1533          scope rules in C++.
1534
1535Sun Jan 15 15:12:09 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1536
1537        * Incremented the version number upto 1.4 to reflect the new 
1538          options that affect the generated code.  Send the new 
1539          distribution off to Michael for use with g++ 1.33.
1540
1541        * Added a fix to Key_List::Read_Keys so that it checks for links
1542          properly when the -n option is used.  Previously, it didn't
1543          catch obvious links, which caused it to spend large amount
1544          of time searching for a solution that could never occur!
1545
1546        * Modified the Key_List data structure to record *both* the 
1547          minimum and the maximum key lengths.  This information
1548          is now computed in Key_List::Read_Keys, and thus 
1549          Key_List::Print_Min_Max doesn't need to bother.
1550
1551        * Modifed the key position iterator scheme in options.cc to
1552          eliminate the need for member function Options::Advance.
1553          Now, the Options::Get function performs the advancement
1554          automatically, obviating the need for an extra function call.
1555
1556        * Added the new function Options::Print_Options, to print out
1557          the user-specified command line options to generated C
1558          output file.
1559
1560        * Added a new function, Key_List::Print_Keylength_Table,
1561          which creates a table of lengths for use in speeding
1562          up the keyword search.  This also meant that a new
1563          option, -l (LENTABLE) is recognized.  It controls 
1564          whether the length table is printed and the comparison
1565          made in the generated function ``in_word_set.''
1566
1567        * Added a comment at the top of the generated C code
1568          output file that tells what version of gperf was used.
1569          Next, I'll also dump out the command line options
1570          as a comment too.  Thanks to Michael Tiemann for the
1571          feedback on this.
1572
1573        * Fixed the -n option to make it work correctly with
1574          other parts of the program (most notably the Perfect::Hash
1575          function and the computation of minimum and maximum lengths.
1576
1577Fri Jan 13 21:25:27 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1578
1579        * Realized the the need to add a test that will enable
1580          optimziation of the generated C code in the ``hash'' function
1581          by checking whether all the requested key positions are
1582          guaranteed to exist due to the comparison in `in_word_set.''
1583          I'll put this in soon....
1584
1585Thu Jan 12 20:09:21 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1586
1587        * Added pascal, modula3, and modula2 tests inputs to the 
1588          Makefile
1589        
1590        * Recognised that there is a bug with the -n option.  However
1591          I'm too busy to fix it properly, right now.  The problem 
1592          is that the generated #define end up being 0, since that's
1593          my hack to make -n work.  This needs complete rethinking!
1594
1595Tue Jan 10 00:08:16 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1596
1597        * Added a new option, -n, that instructs gperf to not use the
1598          length of an identifier when computing the hash functions.
1599          I'm not sure how useful this is!
1600          
1601        * Retransmitted the distribution to rocky.oswego.edu.  Hopefully,
1602          this will work!
1603
1604        * Began fixing the indentation and capitalization to conform
1605          to the GNU coding guidelines.
1606
1607Mon Jan  9 22:23:18 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at pompe.ics.uci.edu)
1608
1609        * Fixed horrible bug in Read_Line::Readln_Aux.  This was
1610          a subtle and pernicous off-by-1 error, that overwrote
1611          past the last character of the input string buffer.  I
1612          think this fault was killing the vax!
1613
1614        * Yow, fixed an oversight in List_Node::List_Node, where the
1615          pointer field Next was uninitialized.  Luckily, the new routine
1616          seems to return 0 filled objects the first time through!
1617
1618Sun Jan  8 13:43:14 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1619
1620        * Modified the ``key linked'' diagnostic in Key_List::Read_Keys
1621          to be more helpful and easy to read.
1622
1623        * Fixed the List_Node::List_Node so that it would ignore trailing
1624          fields if the -t option was not enabled.
1625
1626        * Moved the List_Node declarations out of keylist.h and
1627          into a file of its own, called listnode.cc and listnode.h
1628          Made Set_Sort a member function of class List_Node.
1629
1630        * Massively updated the documentation in the gperf.texinfo file.
1631        
1632        * Polished off the major revision to the print functions,
1633          added a few new tests in the Makefile to check for the
1634          validity of the program and ftp'ed the entire distribution
1635          off to Doug Lea for libg++. ( changed it to
1636          1.3 to reflect the major changes with the generated
1637          C code ).
1638
1639        * Fixed Key_List::Print_Switch to deal with the -p and -t options.
1640          This meant that the ``still-born'' function Key_List::
1641          Print_Type_Switch was superflous, so I removed it.
1642          Also, removed the restriction in Option that the -p and
1643          -t options couldn't be used simultaneously.
1644
1645        * Modified List_Node::List_Node, to perform only 1 call to 
1646          ``new'' when dynamically allocating memory for the Key_Set
1647          and the Uniq_Set.
1648
1649Sat Jan  7 14:10:51 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at glacier.ics.uci.edu)
1650
1651        * Fixed a big bug with the new policy of nesting the
1652          wordlist inside of generated function ``in_word_set.''
1653          I'd forgotten to declare the wordlist array as static!
1654          ( arrgh ).
1655
1656        * Added a new function Key_List::Set_Types, that figures out
1657          the return type for generated function ``in_word_set,''
1658          the user-defined ``struct tag,'' if one is used, and also
1659          formates the array type for the static local array.
1660
1661        * Changed the print routines to take advantage of the
1662          new -p option.
1663
1664        * Began adding the hooks to allow the return of a pointer
1665          to a user defined struct location from the generated
1666          ``in_word_set'' function instead of the current 0 or 1
1667          return value.  Created function Key_List::Print_Type_Switch
1668          and added option -p to class Option, allowing the user to 
1669          request generation of the aforementioned pointers returned 
1670          instead of booleans.
1671
1672        * Put in checks in class Option to make sure that -S and -t
1673          options are not used simultaneously.  This restriction
1674          will be removed in subsequent releases, once I decide on
1675          a clean way to implement it.
1676
1677        * Sent version 1.2 to Doug Lea for possible inclusion into
1678          the libg++ distribution.
1679          
1680        * Moved the static word_list array inside the generated function
1681          in_word_set.  This supports better data hiding.
1682
1683        * Added a texinfo file, gperf.texinfo
1684          
1685        * Revised the Makefile to cleanup the droppings from texinfo
1686          and changed the name of gperf.cc and gperf.h to perfect.cc
1687          and perfect.h.
1688
1689Fri Jan  6 13:04:45 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at crimee.ics.uci.edu)
1690
1691        * Implemented the switch statement output format.  Much better
1692          for large datasets in terms of space used.
1693
1694        * Added new functions to break up the Key_List::Output function.
1695          Functions added were Key_List::Print_Switch, Key_List::Print_Min_Max,
1696          Key_List::Print_Keyword_Table, Key_List::Print_Hash_Function,
1697          and Key_List::Print_Lookup_Function.  This simplifies the
1698          big mess in Key_List::Output considerably!
1699          
1700        * Added switch statement option to Options, which potentially 
1701          trades time for space in the generated lookup code.
1702
1703Thu Jan  5 22:46:34 1989  Doug Schmidt  (schmidt at siam.ics.uci.edu)
1704
1705        * Released version 1.1
1706        
1707        * Fixed a bug with Gperf::Merge_Set, it was skipping letters shared
1708          between the Set_1 and Set_2.
1709
1710        * Added the optimal min/max algorithm in Key_List::Output.  This
1711          runs in O ( 3n/2 ), rather than O ( 2n ) time.
