  1. …, respectively). Absl (from Google) and Boost are well-known C++ SIMD-based hash tables. Khash ( https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/khash.h ) is, I think, an ordinary open-addressing table using quadratic probing. Fastmap…

  4. Not an entirely uncommon idea. I've written one. There's also a well-known one here, in klib: https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/kvec.h

  7. you can abuse the preprocessor to do efficient generic programming e.g: https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/khash.h https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/kvec.h FWIW writing a generic vector like that ^^^ is…

  10. I recommend looking at the khash implementation https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/khash.h It's very competitive to optimized implementations like abseil and much, much better than the C++ STL one.

  11. …aren't they? To me, klib and its khash hash table is the most well-known implementation, see: https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib And I've written similar things myself (hash table and vectors).

  12. …for the things they are good at (and all of them are as "generic" as you can get from C): khash: https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/khash.h The interface I really liked, and you can customize the hash equality functions.…

  21. I'm currently using https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/khash.h in professional projects. I know it's pretty much full of macro "magic" (well it's readable so not really..) so that makes some people scared. I really like…
