Detailed Description

For internal use only.

Hash table implementation for the sycoca database file

Definition at line 34 of file ksycocadict.h.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KSycocaDict::KSycocaDict (  ) 

Create an empty dict, for building the database.

Definition at line 76 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

KSycocaDict::KSycocaDict ( QDataStream *  str,
int  offset 
)

Create a dict from an existing database.

Definition at line 81 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

KSycocaDict::~KSycocaDict (  ) 

Definition at line 104 of file ksycocadict.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

void KSycocaDict::add ( const QString &  key,
const KSycocaEntry::Ptr &  payload 
)

Adds a 'payload' to the dictionary with key 'key'.

'payload' should have a valid offset by the time the dictionary gets saved.

Definition at line 110 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

void KSycocaDict::clear (  ) 

Reset the dictionary.

Only valid when building the database.

Definition at line 213 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

uint KSycocaDict::count (  ) 

The number of entries in the dictionary.

Only valid when building the database.

Definition at line 205 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

int KSycocaDict::find_string ( const QString &  key  )  const

Looks up an entry identified by 'key'.

If 0 is returned, no matching entry exists. Otherwise, the offset of the entry is returned.

NOTE: It is not guaranteed that this entry is indeed the one you were looking for. After loading the entry you should check that it indeed matches the search key. If it doesn't then no matching entry exists.

Definition at line 139 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

QList< int > KSycocaDict::findMultiString ( const QString &  key  )  const

Looks up all entries identified by 'key'.

This is useful when the dict is used as a multi-hash.

If an empty list is returned, no matching entry exists. Otherwise, the offset of the matching entries are returned.

NOTE: It is not guaranteed that each entry is indeed among the ones you were looking for. After loading each entry you should check that it indeed matches the search key.

Definition at line 174 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

void KSycocaDict::remove ( const QString &  key  ) 

Removes the 'payload' from the dictionary with key 'key'.

Not very fast, use with care O(N)

Definition at line 124 of file ksycocadict.cpp.

void KSycocaDict::save ( QDataStream &  str  ) 

Save the dictionary to the stream A reasonable fast hash algorithm will be created.

Typically this will find 90% of the entries directly. Average hash table size: nrOfItems * 20 bytes. Average duplicate list size: nrOfItms * avgKeyLength / 5.

Unknown keys have an average 20% chance to give a false hit. (That's why your program should check the result)

Example: Assume 1000 items with an average key length of 60 bytes.

Approx. 900 items will hash directly to the right entry. Approx. 100 items require a lookup in the duplicate list.

The hash table size will be approx. 20Kb. The duplicate list size will be approx. 12Kb.
