=head1 DESCRIPTION
This library implements type-checked dynamic hash tables. The hash
and value fields. In the description here, B<I<TYPE>> is used a placeholder
for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as I<SSL_SESSION>.
+To define a new type-checked dynamic hash table, use B<DEFINE_LHASH_OF_EX>().
+B<DEFINE_LHASH_OF>() was previously used for this purpose, but is now
+deprecated. The B<DEFINE_LHASH_OF_EX>() macro provides all functionality of
+B<DEFINE_LHASH_OF>() except for certain deprecated statistics functions (see
+OPENSSL_LH_stats(3)).
+
B<lh_I<TYPE>_new>() creates a new B<LHASH_OF>(B<I<TYPE>>) structure to store
arbitrary data entries, and specifies the 'hash' and 'compare'
callbacks to be used in organising the table's entries. The I<hash>
/* Then the hash table itself can be deallocated */
lh_TYPE_free(hashtable);
-When doing this, be careful if you delete entries from the hash table
-in your callbacks: the table may decrease in size, moving the item
-that you are currently on down lower in the hash table - this could
-cause some entries to be skipped during the iteration. The second
-best solution to this problem is to set hash-E<gt>down_load=0 before
-you start (which will stop the hash table ever decreasing in size).
-The best solution is probably to avoid deleting items from the hash
-table inside a "doall" callback!
-
B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>() is the same as B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() except that
I<func> will be called with I<arg> as the second argument and I<func>
should be of type B<LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN>(B<I<TYPE>>) (a callback prototype
lh_TYPE_doall_arg(hashtable, LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN(TYPE_print), BIO,
logging_bio);
+Note that it is by default B<not> safe to use B<lh_I<TYPE>_delete>() inside a
+callback passed to B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() or B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>(). The
+reason for this is that deleting an item from the hash table may result in the
+hash table being contracted to a smaller size and rehashed.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() and B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>() are unsafe and will exhibit
+undefined behaviour under these conditions, as these functions assume the hash
+table size and bucket pointers do not change during the call.
+
+If it is desired to use B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() or B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>() with
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_delete>(), it is essential that you call
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_set_down_load>() with a I<down_load> argument of 0 first. This
+disables hash table contraction and guarantees that it will be safe to delete
+items from a hash table during a call to B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() or
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>().
+
+It is never safe to call B<lh_I<TYPE>_insert>() during a call to
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() or B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>().
B<lh_I<TYPE>_error>() can be used to determine if an error occurred in the last
operation.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_num_items>() returns the number of items in the hash table.
+
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_get_down_load>() and B<lh_I<TYPE>_set_down_load>() get and set the
+factor used to determine when the hash table is contracted. The factor is the
+load factor at or below which hash table contraction will occur, multiplied by
+B<LH_LOAD_MULT>, where the load factor is the number of items divided by the
+number of nodes. Setting this value to 0 disables hash table contraction.
+
+OPENSSL_LH_new() is the same as the B<lh_I<TYPE>_new>() except that it is not
+type specific. So instead of returning an B<LHASH_OF(I<TYPE>)> value it returns
+a B<void *>. In the same way the functions OPENSSL_LH_free(),
+OPENSSL_LH_flush(), OPENSSL_LH_insert(), OPENSSL_LH_delete(),
+OPENSSL_LH_retrieve(), OPENSSL_LH_doall(), OPENSSL_LH_doall_arg(),
+OPENSSL_LH_num_items(), OPENSSL_LH_get_down_load(), OPENSSL_LH_set_down_load()
+and OPENSSL_LH_error() are equivalent to the similarly named B<lh_I<TYPE>>
+functions except that they return or use a B<void *> where the equivalent
+B<lh_I<TYPE>> function returns or uses a B<I<TYPE> *> or B<LHASH_OF(I<TYPE>) *>.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>> functions are implemented as type checked wrappers around the
+B<OPENSSL_LH> functions. Most applications should not call the B<OPENSSL_LH>
+functions directly.
+
+OPENSSL_LH_set_thunks() and OPENSSL_LH_doall_arg_thunk(), while public by
+necessity, are actually internal functions and should not be used.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_new>() returns NULL on error, otherwise a pointer to the new
-B<LHASH> structure.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_new>() and OPENSSL_LH_new() return NULL on error, otherwise a
+pointer to the new B<LHASH> structure.
-When a hash table entry is replaced, B<lh_I<TYPE>_insert>() returns the value
-being replaced. NULL is returned on normal operation and on error.
+When a hash table entry is replaced, B<lh_I<TYPE>_insert>() or
+OPENSSL_LH_insert() return the value being replaced. NULL is returned on normal
+operation and on error.
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_delete>() returns the entry being deleted. NULL is returned if
-there is no such value in the hash table.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_delete>() and OPENSSL_LH_delete() return the entry being deleted.
+NULL is returned if there is no such value in the hash table.
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_retrieve>() returns the hash table entry if it has been found,
-NULL otherwise.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_retrieve>() and OPENSSL_LH_retrieve() return the hash table entry
+if it has been found, NULL otherwise.
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_error>() returns 1 if an error occurred in the last operation, 0
-otherwise. It's meaningful only after non-retrieve operations.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_error>() and OPENSSL_LH_error() return 1 if an error occurred in
+the last operation, 0 otherwise. It's meaningful only after non-retrieve
+operations.
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_free>(), B<lh_I<TYPE>_flush>(), B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() and
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>() return no values.
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_free>(), OPENSSL_LH_free(), B<lh_I<TYPE>_flush>(),
+OPENSSL_LH_flush(), B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall>() OPENSSL_LH_doall(),
+B<lh_I<TYPE>_doall_arg>() and OPENSSL_LH_doall_arg() return no values.
=head1 NOTE
The LHASH code is not thread safe. All updating operations, as well as
-B<lh_I<TYPE>_error>() call must be performed under a write lock. All retrieve
-operations should be performed under a read lock, I<unless> accurate
-usage statistics are desired. In which case, a write lock should be used
-for retrieve operations as well. For output of the usage statistics,
-using the functions from L<OPENSSL_LH_stats(3)>, a read lock suffices.

The LHASH code regards table entries as constant data. As such, it
internally represents lh_insert()'d items with a "const void *"
As an example, a hash table may be maintained by code that, for
reasons of encapsulation, has only "const" access to the data being
-indexed in the hash table (ie. it is returned as "const" from
+indexed in the hash table (i.e. it is returned as "const" from
elsewhere in their code) - in this case the LHASH prototypes are
appropriate as-is. Conversely, if the caller is responsible for the
life-time of the data in question, then they may well wish to make
