This patch allows Ada to speed up symbol lookup by using the facilities
in dictionary.[ch] for hashed lookups. First, we generalize dictionary
search to allow clients to specify any matching function compatible with
the hashing function. Next, we modify the hashing algorithm so that symbols
that wild-match a name hash to the same value. Finally, we modify Ada
symbol lookup to use these facilities.
Because this patch touches on a hashing algorithm used by other
languages, I took the precaution of doing a speed test on a list of
about 12000 identifiers (repeatedly inserting all of them into a table
and then doing a lookup on a million names at random, thus testing the
speed of the hashing algorithm and how well it distributed names).
There was actually a slight speedup, probably as a result of open-
coding some of the tests in msymbol_hash_iw. By design, the revised
hashing algorithm produces the same results as the original on most
"normal" C identifiers.
We considered augmenting the dictionary interface still further by allowing
different hashing algorithms for different dictionaries, based on the
(supposed) language of the symbols in that dictionary. While this produced
better isolation of the changes to Ada programs, the additional flexibility
also complicated the dictionary interface. I'd prefer to keep things
simple for now.
Tested w/o regressions on Linux i686.
