<h4 class="subsubsection">2.18.4.2 Write the derived creation routine</h4>
|
<p>You must write a routine which will create and initialize an
|
entry in the hash table. This routine is passed as the
|
function argument to <code>bfd_hash_table_init</code>.
|
</p>
|
<p>In order to permit other hash tables to be derived from the
|
hash table you are creating, this routine must be written in a
|
standard way.
|
</p>
|
<p>The first argument to the creation routine is a pointer to a
|
hash table entry. This may be <code>NULL</code>, in which case the
|
routine should allocate the right amount of space. Otherwise
|
the space has already been allocated by a hash table type
|
derived from this one.
|
</p>
|
<p>After allocating space, the creation routine must call the
|
creation routine of the hash table type it is derived from,
|
passing in a pointer to the space it just allocated. This
|
will initialize any fields used by the base hash table.
|
</p>
|
<p>Finally the creation routine must initialize any local fields
|
for the new hash table type.
|
</p>
|
<p>Here is a boilerplate example of a creation routine.
|
<var>function_name</var> is the name of the routine.
|
<var>entry_type</var> is the type of an entry in the hash table you
|
are creating. <var>base_newfunc</var> is the name of the creation
|
routine of the hash table type your hash table is derived
|
from.
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
<pre class="example">struct bfd_hash_entry *
|
<var>function_name</var> (struct bfd_hash_entry *entry,
|
struct bfd_hash_table *table,
|
const char *string)
|
{
|
struct <var>entry_type</var> *ret = (<var>entry_type</var> *) entry;
|
|
/* Allocate the structure if it has not already been allocated by a
|
derived class. */
|
if (ret == NULL)
|
{
|
ret = bfd_hash_allocate (table, sizeof (* ret));
|
if (ret == NULL)
|
return NULL;
|
}
|
|
/* Call the allocation method of the base class. */
|
ret = ((<var>entry_type</var> *)
|
<var>base_newfunc</var> ((struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret, table, string));
|
|
/* Initialize the local fields here. */
|
|
return (struct bfd_hash_entry *) ret;
|
}

|
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
The creation routine for the linker hash table, which is in
|
<code>linker.c</code>, looks just like this example.
|
<var>function_name</var> is <code>_bfd_link_hash_newfunc</code>.
|
<var>entry_type</var> is <code>struct bfd_link_hash_entry</code>.
|
<var>base_newfunc</var> is <code>bfd_hash_newfunc</code>, the creation
|
routine for a basic hash table.
|
</p>
|
<p><code>_bfd_link_hash_newfunc</code> also initializes the local fields
|
in a linker hash table entry: <code>type</code>, <code>written</code> and
|
<code>next</code>.
