[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 3/4] util: Change util/set to use quadratic probing

Fri Mar 13 15:37:59 PDT 2015


The same rationale applies here as for the hash table.
Power of two size should give better performance,
and using the algorithm hash = sh + i/2 + i*i/2
should result in only distinct hash values when hitting collisions.
Should give a performance increase as we can do bitmasking instead
of a modulo operation for fitting the hash in the address space.
