Simple C Hash Table

This is a simple hash table I wrote originally for use in a class project. It uses strings as keys and integers as values. Collisions are resolved using separate chaining with linked lists.

Design goals:

• Amortized O(1) insert/lookup/remove.
• Ease of use.

Example

Hash *h = hash_new();

hash_set(&h, "foo", 413);
hash_set(&h, "bar", 612);
hash_set(&h, "baz", 1025);

hash_remove(&h, "bar");

int v;
assert(hash_get(h, "foo", &v) == 1);
assert(v == 413);
assert(hash_get(h, "bar", NULL) == 0);
assert(hash_get(h, "baz", &v) == 1);
assert(v == 1025);

hash_delete(h);
