Version 1.7 of GPERF, a perfect hash function generator used to
produce the keyword recognizer in the lexical analyzer for both GNU CC
and GNU C++, is now available via anonymous ftp from the ~ftp/pub
directory on ics.uci.edu (128.195.1.1).

There are now two versions supported, one written in GNU G++
(gperf-1.7.tar.Z) and another written in K&R C (cperf-1.7.tar.Z).
They should have identical behavior, with the only difference being
that the C version is portable to machines that don't run GNU G++
(yet!).

Version 1.7 includes many new features and enhancements.  In
particular, it now handles duplicate keyword entries and has options
that greatly increase its performance on large (i.e. > 1000) keyword
sets.  See the gperf.texinfo file for extensive documentation.

If you don't have access to anonymous ftp please let me know and I'll
mail you a copy.  Please specify whether you'd like the C or G++
versions (each is around 80k when tar'ed, compressed, and uuencoded).

  thanks,
          
    Doug

p.s.  You'll need the latest GNU G++ 1.35.1- release or later in order
to compile gperf-1.7.tar.Z, since this release uses static member
functions, #pragma once, and other features not available in earlier
G++ releases.
