Kazlib 1.17
Kaz Kylheku - March 14th 2000, 00:31 EST

Kazlib is a package of reusable software modules that provide some frequently-needed functionality. There is a dictionary module based on red-black trees, a hashing module capable of managing hash tables that grow automatically, and a comprehensive module for managing linked lists. There is also ANSI C portable exception handling. The focus of the library is to provide performance and extensive error checking. Numerous debugging self-checks are built in, and in a production build, all of the checks disappear for better performance. Most of the code is thread-safe, and the exception-handling module is made thread-safe on POSIX platforms by enabling the optional POSIX threads support.


Changes: Documentation and comment updates. Some very minor code changes were also done.
